Run Your Personal Best

Do I need to be a certain level or speed to work with a coach?

No. We coach runners at every pace and every stage — from first-time runners to experienced marathoners chasing a BQ. Your speed today is just your starting point. What matters is that you want to get better.

What does an online running coach do?

Your coach creates a fully personalized training plan and updates it week to week based on how your body is responding, your schedule, and your feedback. Workouts sync automatically through platforms like Garmin, COROS, and Apple Watch so your coach sees your data in real time. You communicate regularly via text or through the app's messaging.

What happens when I click Talk to a Running Coach?

A coach will reach out to talk about your goals, your running history, and what you're looking for. If we're both a good match, we'll send you a link to set up payment through Stripe. After that, you'll complete an onboarding questionnaire and get an invitation to Final Surge, the app we use to deliver workouts.

How far out from my race should I start coaching?

The earlier the better. The biggest advantage of starting early is that your coach gets time to learn your running — how you respond to workouts, where your strengths are, and what needs work. By the time your training block starts, your coach already knows what works for you.

How do I get assigned a running coach?

We match you based on your goals, experience level, and coaching style. If you've heard about a specific coach, just let us know and we'll do our best to make it happen.

How does payment work?

You set up a recurring payment of $159 per month. Your credit card is charged monthly on the day you set it up. You may cancel at any time by emailing your coach.

What should I expect from an online running coach?

Expect a genuine person who is as enthusiastic and invested in your success as you are. Your coach will be flexible with your training schedule while providing supportive accountability. From the latest science to injury prevention, you'll have an expert by your side every step of the way.
