Run Smarter. Run Stronger. Run Faster.
Achieve personal bests with challenging interval workouts that are fun and creative
About
Track Attack Running is a California-based run coaching company dedicated to helping runners and multi-sport athletes improve their running times and boost their enjoyment in the sport. We provide group-based interval workouts on the track and one-on-one running form analysis using biofeedback.
At the heart of Track Attack Running is the philosophy that it is every bit as important to routinely spend time focusing on form, efficiency, strength, pacing, muscular endurance, speed, flexibility and even a little agility and quickness as it is to get in your long or steady-paced runs. Many of our runners look forward to their weekly track workout as their favorite physical activity of the week, and that vorfreude, even more than helping them achieve personal bests, is what inspires us to coach.

History
Track Attack Running originated at American River College in Sacramento in 2004. It was founded by Tony Pelosi and Chi-An (Wang) Emhoff as part of Total Body Fitness before launching their own business in 2007. As collegiate track captains who went on to become competitive amateur triathletes, they adapted lessons from masters swimming to turn monotonous track workouts into fun and engaging group experiences that could be enjoyed by athletes of all levels.
Tony likes the variety of multi-sport disciplines, but running is where he continues to excel and teach. As an engineer and product manager, Tony has launched fitness applications and devices at Garmin and Magellan, bringing together his passions for fitness and technology.
Chi-An will always be a runner at heart, excelling at the 800m in college, and 5ks to marathons as an adult. Chi-An has a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology from UC Berkeley and is a Professor and Division Chair of Health Science and Kinesiology at Saint Mary's College of California.
