Here at Higher Running, we want to give you a training plan that not only helps you reach your goals but adds to the overall quality of your life. Over and over again, we’ve seen that joy and success, especially long-term success, go hand in hand. We’ll view you not only as an athlete, but as a person with other responsibilities and passions. Our goal is to make runners faster, and when possible, we hope to also help people figure out how to use running as a tool to improve their lives.

While all coaches have studied a variety of training philosophies and will put together a plan best suited for you, the core of all training plans is based on how you are feeling. As 4-time Olympian Lorrain Moller “Inner technology is better than anything you can get from a computer.” While we believe GPS watches and heart rate monitors can be useful tools (that we do use), we’ll be looking at how you’re feeling on a daily basis to make sure your training is ideal for you.

Though the core of our training philosophy is based on feeling, we also have a very scientific approach that will play a large part in how to design your training plan. Whenever you want us to, we can explain why we’re having you do certain things and what’s going on in your body during different runs. Our job and passion is to empower runners with all the knowledge they need to be successful.

Plans are customized to fit your schedule and specific needs and are much more detailed and interactive than our downloadable plans. Each coach only works with a small group of runners, giving you a truly personalized and premium experience. Every single training plan we write for our athletes is built completely from scratch to meet their specific goals and needs. For no additional charge on our Signature Plan, some of our coaches can do a movement screening and a gait analysis. (Check each coach’s page to see the additional services they offer.) We’re always happy to talk about nutrition, race day strategy, strength training, cross-training, mindset training, etc. To sum it up, we’re all in to support you and in create the best, most personalized training program for you.

We give 1-3 week training plans at a time on Final Surge, but always make a long-term plan to ensure sure different training phases are properly included. We also check to see if we need to make changes to the current week based on how you’re adapting to the training and what your schedule looks like. Final Surge allows you to leave a comment for each run, which we can then respond to.

We look forward to working with you!
