What are your running goals for the next 6 to 12 months?

We realize that goals are personal and unique, and that our athletes' goals exist on a vast spectrum of type; from times and distances, to general fitness and beyond.

Are you currently experiencing any sports-related pain and/or have you suffered from any recurring sports-related injuries in the past three years?

Please describe.

How many days a week do you prefer to run?

Is there a day(s) of the week that is typically best for longer runs?

Is there a day(s) of the week that is typically problematic for running?

Where can you get strong?

The bad news is that runners need strength training. The good news is that runners don't need a lot of strength training. Our goal is always to maximize the resources already available to our athletes. Whether you frequent a gym, use home equipment or only have access to a floor and a wall, we can create a conditioning program for you that is practical and productive.

Where can you run fast?

Speed work, traditionally done on a track, is an important part of training, but there are a variety of ways to do it and with smartwatch technology runners are no longer bound to the 400 meter oval. Please describe the venues at your disposal (ie track, some other fixed loop, or just a nice section of open roads where you can run uninterrupted.) We'll design the workouts accordingly.

Are there any upcoming races that you are planning to participate in?

Please list date, distance and any goals you might have.

What gets in the way of your running?

This is a loaded question. We all face limitations and obstacles, and, as coaches, we realize that our athletes have other obligations that can't be neglected for running. We strive to help you find a balance and get in the work without causing strain elsewhere. Give us a sense of the balls you have in the air, and we'll try our best to help you juggle them.
