We provide personal coaching and training plans to help runners reach their goals and run their best race. Our coaches are experienced in training runners from beginner to elite in events ranging from 5K to Marathon.

Start2Finish coaches help set achievable goals and provide individualized training plans while providing feedback and assessment of progress toward your running goals. Runners will receive a personal consultation and access to all the Start2Finish Running Club group training sessions. If you are outside the Phoenix area we can provide personalized training plans along with email and phone consultation.

Standard Personal Coaching Program:

Fees: $100 per 8 week session

Step 1: Athlete Questionnaire

Once you contact one of our coaches they will send you a standard athlete questionnaire by email. The questionnaire will gather basic information about your goals, past performance, and current fitness routine. Simply fill out the questionnaire and return to your coach.

Step 2: Initial Consultation

After receiving the information in the questionnaire your coach will contact you either by phone or email to gather any additional information. This information will help your coach to better develop a training program that not only fits your needs as a runner, but also fits into your everyday life. This is where the true personalization occurs

Step 3: Development of Training Program

Once your coach has all the information about you as a runner and an individual they will develop a personalized training program to help you achieve your goals.

Step 4: Delivery and Follow-Up

Once your training program is complete your coach will email you a copy along with scheduling a meeting to answer any questions you may have. Your coach will also stay in contact with you throughout the length of your training to make sure you are receiving answers to any questions and to monitor your overall progress. Your coach will be available to you by phone or e-mail as necessary throughout your training.
