What is a Running Coach?
Imagine yourself waiting for a group of runners at a trail to start a long run. Imagine yourself instructing stretches before starting sprints on a track. Imagine yourself helping someone who is beginning their fitness journey 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.
