What is a Running Coach?
Imagine waiting for a group of runners at a trail to start a long run. Imagine instructing a dynamic warm-up before starting sprints on a track. Imagine helping someone who is beginning their fitness journey to start jogging on a treadmill. Can you see it? That is a running coach. A running coach works alongside runners of all levels to break through their own limits.
