Run Coaching
RRCA Certified Run Coach
the benefit of a running coach
Running is an area of my life that I have dedicated a heavy amount of time to. Not only do I enjoy the mental challenges and physical demands of the sport, but I have also been fascinated in the science behind it. Through lots of trial and error in my own journey, consistent work with my own coaches, and continual education, I can help you grow as a runner without the injuries & headaches of trying to figure everything out on your own.
I regularly get a lot of questions around how to properly plan and prep for a race, what nutrition looks like for running (pre, intra, and post run), staying injury free or rehabbing an injury, strength training to support running, and best practices for recovery. If any of these sound like some of the problems you deal with, let's work together!
what's included your monthly plan
Running Plan
Every run client will receive a shared document that contains the details and overall outline of your custom run plan. This will be updated weekly so that it remains up to date on your current status (injuries, trips, etc.) and fits your schedule.
Strength Programming
The standard run plan will include suggested exercises to perform on a weekly basis. These exercises are subject to change based on your experience level and growth. If you are interested in full workouts, we can get you set up in my training app for $20/custom workout to supplement your run plan.
Check Ins
Check in calls should be done bi-weekly to see how you are progressing and if any adjustments need to be made. Check Ins are a great time to ask questions, address any problems you are experiencing, and go over your run progress to make sure we are on track.
Nutritional Guidance
Included in our check-in calls will be nutrition assistance around running. While general nutrition will be discussed, I have had more people ask about the specifics on how to properly fuel themselves before, during, and after their runs. We can review both areas. It is important to stay on top and make adjustments as your training block changes.
