Here's how it typically works:

1. Initial Assessment: The coaching relationship often begins with an in-depth assessment of the runner's current fitness level, running history, injury history, goals, and any other relevant factors. This assessment may involves a phone session, health history, and possibly some initial performance tests or evaluations.
2. Goal Setting: Based on the assessment, the coach and the runner collaboratively set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant goals. These goals may include objectives related to race performance, endurance improvement, speed development, injury prevention, or any other areas the runner wishes to focus on.
3. Customized Training Plan: The coach designs a personalized training plan tailored to the individual runner's needs, taking into account their goals, current fitness level, schedule, lifestyle, and any other relevant factors. This plan typically includes details such as weekly mileage, types of workouts (e.g., long runs, tempo runs, intervals), rest days, cross-training activities, strength training exercises, and recovery strategies.
4. Regular Communication: The coach and the runner maintain regular communication to track progress, discuss any challenges or concerns, adjust the training plan as needed, and provide ongoing support and motivation. This communication may take place through various channels such as email, phone calls, video calls, messaging apps, or in-person meetings if feasible.
5. Feedback and Analysis: The coach provides feedback on the runner's workouts, race performances, nutrition, and overall progress, offering insights, encouragement, and constructive criticism when necessary. They may also analyze data from GPS watches, heart rate monitors, running apps, or other tracking devices to monitor performance trends and make informed adjustments to the training plan.
6. Adaptability: The coaching approach remains flexible and adaptable to accommodate changes in the runner's circumstances, such as injuries, schedule conflicts, or changes in goals. The coach may modify the training plan accordingly to ensure continued progress while minimizing the risk of overtraining or injury.
7. Continuous Support: Throughout the coaching relationship, the coach offers continuous support, motivation, and guidance to help the runner stay focused, disciplined, and committed to their training regimen. They may also provide resources, advice, and expertise on various aspects of running, such as nutrition, hydration, gear selection, race strategy, mental preparation, and recovery techniques.

Overall, individual custom run coaching provides a highly personalized and comprehensive approach to training, designed to optimize performance, maximize results, and help runners reach their full potential.
