Get Expert Insight Into Your Running — Exactly Where You Need It
Focused, one-on-one coaching sessions for runners who want clarity around strength, form, recovery, or injury return .
This Page Is for You If…
You’re serious about your running — but you don’t necessarily want a personal coach right now.
Maybe you:
train with a run club you love
want expert input on one specific issue
are coming back from injury and want a smart re-entry
know something’s off, but don’t want to guess
These sessions are designed to plug into your current training, not replace it.
Think of this as precision coaching — delivered exactly when it matters most.

Skill Sessions
Strength that supports your mileage — not competes with it
If you’ve ever questioned what strength work you actually need as a runner, this is a focused, high-value session designed to give you clarity.
This is a single, 90-minute, in-person consultation built around live coaching, assessment, and discussion. The goal is to identify the strength work that best supports your running goals — without unnecessary fatigue, soreness, or guesswork in the gym. Emphasis is placed on efficiency, durability, and transfer to running performance.
Who This Is For
Runners looking to build durability and resilience
Athletes chasing PRs who want strength to enhance, not interfere with, training
Runners frustrated by generic strength plans or random gym routines
Athletes who want clarity on what to do, how to do it, and why it matters
What This Consultation Includes
One (1) 90-minute in-person consultation with a Running Fit Lab coach
Movement screening focused on key running-related areas (hips, ankles, core, and movement patterns)
Identification of strength priorities based on your running volume, history, and goals
Runner-specific strength recommendations
Hands-on coaching for proper form, loading, and execution
Guidance on how to integrate strength work into your existing training week
How These Consultations Work
This session is discussion- and coaching-based
No written program, workout plan, or follow-up materials are provided
No post-session communication or ongoing support is included
Clients should arrive prepared with questions and bring a notebook or device to take notes
The value of this session is the live problem-solving and coaching insight during the 90 minutes
Important Notes
This is a one-time consultation, not an ongoing strength program or membership
Sessions are in person only
This service is not physical therapy or medical treatment
No diagnosis, rehabilitation, or injury treatment is provided
Recommendations are educational, training-focused, and runner-specific
Scheduling & Cancellation
Sessions must be scheduled in advance and are subject to availability
Cancellations require 24 hours’ notice
Late cancellations or no-shows may be counted as used sessions
The Goal
You leave with clear direction and practical understanding so strength work feels intentional, efficient, and sustainable alongside your running — not like another thing competing for your energy.
For runners navigating common setbacks — and ready to move forward
This is a single, 90-minute, in-person consultation designed for runners dealing with common overuse issues who want to keep moving — or return to running — with a plan that makes sense for their body right now.
Rather than guessing, shutting everything down, or pushing blindly, this session focuses on understanding how your body is responding to training, where load may need adjustment, and what changes can help running feel more predictable again.
