running coach

Guides your stride

A running coach is a trainer who helps runners improve their performance, technique, and endurance.

Running coaches work with everyone from beginners preparing for their first 5K to elite marathoners.

They typically design training programs, analyze form, and provide motivation: My running coach had me doing intervals twice a week.

The term also refers to specialized footwear designed for coaching sessions, though this usage is rare.
