More About Coach Justin
I am currently a Recruiting Coordinator and Assistant Coach for the men's XC/TF teams at IU Indy. I joined the staff during a pivotal moment as the university transitioned to IU Indianapolis, establishing itself as Indiana University's second core campus. Alongside this coaching role, I also privately coach distance runners of all ages, helping them reach their specific goals for upcoming events.
Competed at the Division I level in college and raced in the Horizon League XC Championships mutliple times for a team that three team conference titles between 2019-2021. Currently training for road races including a sub 72:00 (5:30 pace) at the 2025 Carmel Half Marathon and a sub 2:30 (5:43 pace) at the 2025 Monumental Marathon.
PRs:
5K - 15:18
10K - 31:53
Half Marathon - 1:15:56
I specialize in coaching distance athletes of all levels—from middle school and high school runners to age group athletes. Whether you're looking to stay fit or chasing specific goal times, I tailor my approach to meet your needs. There is no "one-size-fits-all" especially when it comes to distance running that is why I create customized training plans where we identify training strategies and a plan that work best for what your goals are. My sessions focus on personalized drills, optimizing lifestyle choices, and with proven training strategies.

Client Reviews
Britney (CoachUp client)
Coach Amburgy works with my son, a 10th grade track and XC runner. It’s only been a short time, but my son sees a lot of value in the plans, conversations, and constructive critiques. Coach has brought to light new exercises, techniques, and thought processes. I really like the accountability piece. My son definitely has the drive to run independently, but runs more intentionally knowing that Coach is going to review and discuss it. So far, it’s been a nice compliment to the coaching he receives at school. Coach gives a fresh perspective, with his current experience. He’s a great communicator, and all of his content is top notch. My son’s excited to continue working with him.
A Grateful Parent (Testimonial)
Coach Justin did a great job helping my son get ready for his first 3K. He kept things simple and fun while making sure my son felt ready for the cross country season. We appreciated how easy he was to work with and how much my son learned in just a few weeks. Would definitely recommend him!
