Running Coaches

Running, it's something you either love or you hate. It's something you either pick up instantly or something you tried once or twice and never did it again. Although it may just seem like a glorified way of walking, running can be taught and it can be learned. This is where running coaches or running personal trainers come in.

It is becoming more and more common for people to train with personal trainers, showing how people are moving towards making healthier life choices and taking those choices very seriously. Running personal trainers are no different. So, what's the big deal? What is it that a running coach can teach you that you don't know yourself? Here are a few things your running coach will help you with:

1) They keep you goal orientated.

Whether you already know what your goals are or whether you need goals to be defined, a running coach will help you get there. You may want to lose weight, run a marathon or beat a personal time. Whatever your goals, your coach will help you reach them in the most effective way possible.  

2) They keep you safe.

Your running coach will place a large amount of importance on warming you up, cooling you down and ensuring that preventative measures are taken against injury.  Each coach will have a different training plan, but a good coach will always take safety into consideration. Most training plans will involve specific strength orientated activities that ultimately aim to combat injury.

3) They keep you motivated.

Consistency is key, we all know this. Running, like any other activity requires constant effort and attention. Training on your own makes it very easy to fall short - you don't have anybody to answer to. However, a coach will act as an authoritative presence that will hold you accountable and will ensure you are up bright and early for that Monday morning session.
