Frequently Asked Questions
I recently read a great article by Sarah Lavander Smith, an accomplished running coach for the last 8 years, now retiring, She offered these great questions you should ask a prospective running coach. I added her comments in italics.
What level of customization do you offer, and how frequently do you update and modify plans?
Do not go with a coach who offers a standard non-custom plan (e.g. “16 weeks to a 50K!”) or a lot of cut-and-paste between clients.
Every training plan I do is customized for you. I don't have standard plans. Working with you, I'll modify your plan on the fly if your status or schedule changes.
How much guidance do you give per workout?
Ask to see a sample of one of the coach’s plans to get a sense of the level of detail they provide. Depending on where you are in your journey and what your goals are, I will put some parameters around your runs, such as heart rate, pace, cadence, walk breaks, tempo finishes, hydration/fueling...
Do you include any drills or strength and mobility workouts in the week? How about form feedback?
I believe it’s important to layer different forms of conditioning into the week, as appropriate given where the client is in a training block vis a vis their goal race(s), and also to see a client run.
Yes, I have a variety of strength and mobility drills that I can include depending on your need. I also offer video gait analysis for all clients.
What you should pay
I charged $75/week for custom training plans and all the consultation that goes with it. I spent on average one hour per week per client. $75 per hour seems reasonable to me for a professional service with high customization.
I charge $250/month for private clients, which is a little low compared to Sarah. And I offer group coaching which includes weekly calls for only $120/month which for some people is even more valuable than private coaching!
How many clients do you have, and do you coach full time or have another job?
Some coaches have 30 to 50 or more clients, which I suppose they can handle if it’s a full-time job, but I could only handle half that many at most. I keep my number of clients around 10-12. I'm retired and have time for more, but prefer the personal attention I can give.
What kind of pre-race consultation do you offer?
In my view, a coach should offer strategy sessions at no extra charge.
With more than a couple dozen marathons and over 60 ultramarathons under my belt, I know the importance of proper preparation for events. I work with you to fine-tune your race-day strategy.
What platform do you use?
Look for a coach who uses Training Peaks. In my view, Training Peaks is the best coaching platform for coach-client communication, data analysis, and special features.
I use an app called "Up Coach". It's not just a training plan app like Training Peaks. It allows me to add daily snippets of knowledge on top of your workouts so you can absorb new healthy habits easier.
Who have you learned from or received coaching from?
Good coaching takes experience plus education. Ask a prospective coach if they’ve been coached by anyone, and whose methods they adapt or follow.
I entered into the Primal Coaching program by Mark Sisson and received my Primal Health Coach Certification. Then I also graduated from Dr. Phil Maffetone's MAF Foundations program. I'm currently in coach Lindsey Parry's program. I'm a firm believer in coaching and wouldn't be providing it if I wasn't also being coach too.
