01Charitable program

Start where you are. Finish somewhere else.

Four coached blocks a year, from a first 5K to a 50K. You pay one fee for the season, and all of it, less card-processing costs, goes to a vetted partner. We keep nothing.

What a season includes

Four items, all of them
i

A written plan, adjusted weekly

Delivered Sunday night for the week ahead. If your week falls apart, the plan changes — you do not "catch up".

ii

Body-weight strength, twice a week

Twenty-five minutes, no equipment, done at home. This is the part that keeps people running in year three.

iii

Race-day nutrition, rehearsed

Worked out on long runs weeks before the race, not read off a forum the night before.

iv

Saturday, 6:00am, with other people

Pace groups from a walk-run to sub-8. Nobody finishes alone; somebody always doubles back.

Sample figures.

“I told the coach I was not a runner. She wrote me a plan that started with four minutes. Eleven months later I ran the half and cried at mile twelve.”
