Our physical therapists Melissa West and Alyssa Shupe are both certified run coaches through the Road Runners Club of America. They have combined race experience ranging from 800 meters through 50 kilometers, and they are super excited to use their experiences as runners and physical therapists to help you chase your goals – no matter the distance.

We offer a basic and an advanced run coaching plan. Both plans will allow you to receive individualized run coaching, written by your PT/run coach, delivered via the V.O2 training app. While both plans will be adapted to your needs based on evolving fitness/goals, the advanced plan will offer more personalized communication via weekly meetings with your run coach.

Base plan ($75/mo)

  • Includes an initial 30-minute appointment to assess your background & training goals
  • Individualized programming written by your run coach and delivered via the V.O2 training app

Advanced plan ($175/mo)

  • Everything from the base plan PLUS a weekly 30-minute phone call or in-person appointment to help us more specifically adjust your training plan as you go. This time can be used to discuss any specific training questions such as nutrition or strength training.

We do not require that you commit to a certain number of months working with us, but we do generally recommend starting with 3+ months. Training takes time and consistency, and this timeframe will generally allow you to complete a training cycle geared towards your race of choice!

Our run coaching program includes:

  • An individualized training program based on your goals, history, and fitness. This includes program modifications as needed throughout the program.
  • Target pace ranges for runs, workouts, and races based on your fitness and race goals.
  • Regular communication with your run coach via email, text, and phone call.
  • An individualized schedule will be sent to you weekly or every other week, with adjustments made during the week as needed
  • Access to strength training videos and exercise routines to help optimize training
  • Generous discounts on other clinic services, including: in-person strength training, rapid recovery sessions, and gait analyses.
