We created this program with you in Mind
Since the very start of creating our coaching business, we've prioritized athlete empowerment. After a decade of coaching and running professionally, we wanted to create a course that would leave people feeling more empowered than ever to take charge of their own running, feel stronger on a daily basis, and reach their goals. Every single part of this course has been tested and proven to work. Ourselves and our athletes have used the information in this course to win championship races, run PRs from 5ks to 100 miles, and race with more confidence and joy.
This course also came from realizing that we can't coach everyone (we wish we could!), some people can't afford personal coaching, and many people prefer to train themselves. This course is for you. Once completed, you can train yourself confidently knowing you have everything you need to successfully coach yourself.
"It makes it much easier to start coaching myself when I have blueprints laid out for me!"
“Great course! I like how most videos are not too long. for me at least it is easier to digest the information when it comes in shorter videos and it is much easier to focus the entire video from start to end. The videos being fairly short also makes them easier to revisit when a refresher is needed. The supplemental material that is given away with the videos are great as well, It makes it much easier to start coaching myself when I have blueprints laid out for me (thinking of the "Create your own training plan" and the mobility/strength pdf). I also like how the course is aimed at different types of running (5k,10k, ultra, etc).” -Emil C.
What this course is and Is Not
This is a course about applying what research has shown to be the best strategies for runners. It's not a science course. Understanding how the Krebs cycle applies to running isn't going to help you become a better runner. This course is about you having enough information to feel motivated to do something and most importantly, the practical strategies that you can start implementing right away. After each section of the course, you're going to feel empowered with the tools you learned so that you can start making improvements right away.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR RUNNING
If you feel anxious before speed workouts and constantly self-sabotage your running, you're going to have the mindset skills to start to change that. If training often leaves you feeling depleted or injured, you're going to know exactly what to look for and prevent that in the future. If you can never get your nutrition right at races, you're going to now have a nutrition plan that will keep your stomach happy and support your race-day energy needs. We truly mean it when we say we care about empowering you with everything you need to coach yourself. From building your own training plan to developing a stronger mindset, we've got you covered.
"I highly recommend this course to any runner willing to improve his knowledge of the fundamentals of training and to quickly implement all the benefits in his own training.”
'”As a mostly self-coached runner I took the online 'Ultimate Running Course' wishing to improve my running training. This course provided me with very valuable knowledge on many different aspects linked to running such as strength & mobility, running form, creating my own training plan, nutrition, recovery... Not only do you get the coaches' insights and deep experience but also a whole bunch of very useful references to scientific articles and studies! The course is well structured and balanced in terms of content which is a mix of videos and texts including downloadable documents to refine the different topics tackled during the course. I highly recommend this course to any runner willing to improve his knowledge of the fundamentals of training and to quickly implement all the benefits in his own training.” -Stéphane H.
