My name is Andrew Derry. I am a coach, runner, weightlifter, and mountain athlete. Outside of athletics, I am also an adventurer, angler, and lover of all outdoor activities. I believe running can help each individual become a better version of themselves. As a coach, I hope to garner a sense of joy and accomplishment in all my athletes that they can apply in athletics and in life. 

I have been running for 12 years at a variety of different levels. From elementary school fun runs to NCAA cross country championships, and even to post-collegiate mountain running, I have always been obsessed with the sport. Throughout my career, I have competed at a high level, but it has not been without ups and downs. I have experience running at the front of the pack, dealing with injuries, building fitness from scratch, peak racing, and burnout. In addition, I have worked with many coaches — all with different philosophies. Learning from some of the best coaches in the state of NH, as well as college coaches with experience in unique training methods, I have been able to sift through the good and the bad to craft my approach to training and racing. I consider myself a lifelong student of the sport constantly trying to figure out the best strategy for each runner. 

I founded Untamed Athletics to help those on their own running journey. I hope to share my experience and expertise with you, and witness your potential to grow through the sport of running. I combine old school training methods with modern techniques. I find this is the best way to maximize fitness and get the most out of training fundamentals. I believe any person can be a runner, and anyone can benefit from my adaptable training philosophy. I look forward to working with you.
