Coaching
Whether you're training for your first race or chasing a new PR, a coach can help you achieve your goal. A coach will analyze your fitness, critique your running form, develop workouts to prepare you for your target race, and (perhaps most important) encourage you every step of the way.
Coaching Directory
NYRR's expert coaching staff can help you take your running to the next level. They'll create workouts just for you, based on your age, gender, ability, and goals. And they'll share your sense of accomplishment as you pass each milestone.
Our Coaching Philosophy
There's no other runner quite like you—and no one understands that quite like a coach. NYRR coaches don't subscribe to a one-size-fits-all philosophy. We'll help you develop a customized wellness program that allows you to improve at your own pace to achieve any goal.
