1:1 Virtual Run Coaching
$125 / month
Work with Coach Lauren to build a running routine that fits your life.
This is for beginners and returning runners who are tired of starting over and want structure, support, and accountability that feels realistic.
Together, we’ll create a personalized running plan based on your schedule, experience, and goals so you can start running (or get back into it) and stay consistent long term.
This includes:
A personalized running training plan built around your life
Two coaching check-ins each month to support and guide your progress
Ongoing support between check-ins when questions come up or things don’t go as planned
Thoughtful progress reviews to help you keep moving forward
Who this is for:
You’ve struggled to stay consistent with running on your own
You want guidance but don’t want to feel overwhelmed by a rigid plan
You’re balancing work, life, and everything in between
You’re looking for accountability and support that actually helps
What makes this different:
Your plan evolves with you.
When life gets busy, your training adjusts so you can keep showing up!
What you can expect from Coach Lauren:
A plan that's actually yours. Built around your schedule, your experience, and your goals — not a generic template.
Support that doesn't disappear. When something comes up or the week goes sideways, you're not on your own figuring out what to do next.
Progress without the pressure. No judgment about pace or how many times you've started over. Just consistent, encouraging support that helps you keep showing up.
