There are many benefits to working with a running coach both in person and also, with todays technology, remotely. Here are some of the main benefits:
- Personalised Training - A running coach will consider your specific running level, running goals and circumstances developing a plan that will cater to your specific needs and individual goals.
- Improved Performance - with guidance from a running coach you will learn proper running technique (I offer online gait analysis), how to train at appropriate intensities and how to fuel your runs resulting in improvements in pace, and endurance.
- Reduced Injury Risk - A running coach will monitor your training load and fatigue levels, adjusting as necessary to maintain appropriate training levels. This combined with helping you to run with proper form will minimise your risk of injury.
- Accountability & motivation - A running coach will help keep you on track with your training plan, recognise your achievements and help you reframe setbacks to make them work for you.
- Expert support & advice - Have a question, a running coach can give you an informed answer or will be able to look into it for you.
- Flexibility - Online running coaching platforms now offer a fantastically flexible system to allow effective run coaching even from a distance with scheduling, communication etc all just a click away.
A running coach can provide focus helping you achieve your running goals sooner in a more enjoyable way!
