LET’S MAKE YOUR DREAMS HAPPEN!

PERSONAL COACHING SERVICES

No two athletes are the same – your physiology, training history, and goals are entirely your own. Train to optimize your individual performance.

The purpose of coaching is to take you further in your training than you can take yourself. We excel at helping runners . . .

When you sign up for coaching we send you a detailed coaching questionnaire (it covers everything from current health status, goals, past running stats/accomplishments, history of injury, time availability, current fueling, etc).

Based on your answers we place you with a MTA coach that would be a good fit and who has current openings. Your personal coach would then contact you via email with any follow-up questions that they have and also answer any initial questions that you have about the process.

Your coach will develop the first part of your training plan (usually around 2 weeks at a time). Most coaches want their clients to check in with a summary of their workouts at least once a week and your coach is available to answer any questions you have and make modifications to your training schedule as needed too. Communication is done via email.

We have clients from all over the world taking their running to the next level. Put the power of MTA Coaching into your training!

Pricing and Availability

As a client you will be charged the personal coaching payment of $199 a month. Coaching spots fill on a first come first served basis. 

The coaching payment is re-billed each month until client cancels. We do request that you commit to a minimum of 3 months (most clients stay much longer). It’s hard for the coach to get the best results for you in less than 3 months.

As a coaching client you also get the benefits of Basic Academy Membership which includes access to all premium training lessons, videos, bonus interviews, back podcast episodes and our awesome private Facebook group.
