Coaching

Fleet Feet's team of experienced coaches will keep track of your progress, keep you motivated, and give you individualized feedback along the way. If you're training in one of the in-person groups, you'll have the opportunity to work with coaches one-on-one at the group runs. If you're in the online coaching program, you can message your coaches throughout the week and set up Zoom calls to dive deeper into your training.

Reach out to the Fleet Feet Training help desk at any time by emailing sactraining@fleetfeet.com or calling 916-442-3338.

Training Plan

Your 10-week training plan will provide daily assignments for running/walking, cross training, strength work, and recovery. The plan is periodized to gradually increase overall training volume while offering opportunities for your body to build back stronger, week after week.

Community

The camaraderie of training with a group week after week will take your training to the next level. When the training gets more rigorous, you'll have the collective strength of the group to keep you moving forward. When you crush a key workout, the group will be there to celebrate your achievement. And on those early mornings when you just don't feel like getting out of bed, the training group will keep you accountable.
