  • You love Big River’s Summer Speedwork and want guidance on how to incorporate speedwork into your training routine year round.
  • You enjoyed participating in Big River’s START or START 6.2 programs or with Training Team and want to continue running with that type of support and motivation.
  • You are training to pass a fitness test for work or your job.
  • You are looking for motivation to keep you on a steady exercise and running regimen.

Testimonials

“Training with Big River Personal Coaching is a lot of fun and makes the most of your time. Whether I’m doing speedwork on the track or strength training, I feel like I always have a great workout! I think the biggest misconception about working out and seeing results is thinking you have to spend hours everyday in the gym. I brought specific physical training goals with me to my first workout, and after a month and a half, I could already see major improvements in my strength, stride, and overall energy level. Great to work with someone who clearly understands exercise science and knows just how to get the desired results!”

“I improved my marathon time from 2015 by almost 29 minutes. I commend the staff of Big River Running and their personal coaches for their professionalism and expertise. I recommend them for anyone who wants to improve their running abilities.”
– TJM
“Personal coaching at Big River Running provided me with pointers to help improve my running technique and increase my speed. Even after I reached my initial goals, I continued to meet with my coach because of the motivation and accountability my trainer provides. On my own, I can easily talk myself out of running that extra lap or exerting myself to push my limits, but my coach motivates me to exceed the limits of my comfort zone.”
