Whether you’re just getting started, returning after time away, or working toward a new goal, your training should start with where you are today.
My goal is to help you build your running gradually, develop a strong aerobic foundation, and create a running routine that fits your life and keeps you moving forward.
Hi, I’m Cathy, founder of Running2Run, and I’m certified as a Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) Level 1 coach and a VDOT coach.
I’ve been a runner for many years, and I’ve learned that our running goals can change over time for many reasons. Sometimes we’re working toward a new distance or personal goal, sometimes we’re returning after time away, and sometimes we simply want to stay active and enjoy running.
As an RRCA and VDOT certified coach, I combine my coaching education and running experience to create training that meets you where you are today. I consider your current fitness, running experience, goals, schedule, and training history to determine an appropriate starting point and progression.
Whether you prefer a customized plan to follow on your own or more ongoing guidance and support, there are several ways we can work together.
Coaching Options
Customized Training Plans
Prefer to train independently but want something designed specifically for you? I offer customized, self-guided training plans tailored to your current fitness level, running experience, goals, and schedule.
Plans are available for:
- Beginners who are ready to start with walking and gradually progress to run/walk training
- Runners returning after time away
- Runners preparing for 5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon
Your plan is customized based on information you provide through a questionnaire and delivered through the VDOT platform.
Personalized Coaching
For runners who would like ongoing guidance and support, personalized coaching provides a more hands-on approach to your training.
Your training is built around your current fitness and goals and can be adjusted as you progress. Coaching includes regular communication, feedback, and training adjustments along the way.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Not sure which option is right for you? A complimentary 30-minute consultation gives us a chance to talk about where you are with your running, where you’d like to go, and what type of training or coaching might be the best fit.
