Training Philosophy

The ultimate goal as an athlete with DC Running Coach is to not only improve your level of fitness, but to reach a peak level of fitness for one (or two) particular point(s) in the year. Whether it is a local 5k or 10k, an upcoming soccer league, or your first marathon, your coach will take strides with you (no pun intended) to help you have a successful season. Having a personal coach to aid in developing a customized schedule will introduce you to new methods of training, as well as concepts involved with human physiology and nutrition.

You will receive feedback regarding your pacing and intensity to ensure your training progresses, and you will also receive help in allocating each workout to a specific day in your schedule to ensure it is feasible to adhere to the program.

DC Running Coach is typically not personal training. The primary service provided is the design of an individualized training program based on the principles of periodization, which is the science of altering training volume and intensity at various points in the year in order to maximize fitness. A personal training option has been added to the services for those interested.
