While a few of us may have been fortunate enough to run under a coach who taught us the fundamentals back in high school or even college, most of us never did. Thus we learned just by running a little at first and then more over time.
At some point though you may have felt the desire to become a faster runner. Or perhaps run your first marathon? Or maybe you are tired of being injured and don’t know how to seemingly avoid those frustrating injuries like ITBS, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinitis, shin splints…
This is why runners choose knowledgeable coaches. They can teach you the fundamentals, give you workouts to increase speed, help you build a sustainable training plan to get you to the starting line healthy, and avoid the traps that ultimately lead to injury!
