Common concerns and questions about hiring a running coach

This is the most common concern people have.

The truth is though, there is no minimum speed limit to wanting some help.

There is never any judgment from me, my only role here is to help you in whatever way you need.

This is completely normal. Most new runners are terrified of being seen running. They maybe stick to treadmills or runnning at night.

This may be normal, but it’s not needed. Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to notice you running.

When was the last time you took serious notice of a runner and was still thinking about it more than 20 minutes later.

If you’ve had a history of injury or are just scared of it, that’s ok and normal.

My role is to guide you through running without injury, helping you identify the normal aches and pains, as well as the pains that should be of concern.

Everything about your running is yours. Your stats, history and goals are yours and remain that way, even when being coached.

If you’d like a more hands off approach to coaching where my role is more about guidance than structured planning, we’ll work that way.

Some people prefer more or less autonamy over their running and that’s fine, I’m here to help you however you feel it’s best.

This is true. Many people don’t need a coach.

I recommend people pay a coach when two main criteria are met:

• They can afford it, and properly afford it without money stress.

• They feel the extra expensive and help given as a result, will be a net positive for them in any amount of ways.
