Good running coach (or personal trainer)

[Anonymous]

To a young adult training for their first half marathon?

They seem to be doing very well on their own, but would enjoy the social/motivational aspect of a coach and/or club/class.

Look for a half marathon clinic or training group working towards the same race if it is local. Running stores will be able to point you in the direction of a few. I am not familiar with these specific ones below, but they came up with a quick google as examples:

https://www.fleetfeet.com/s/dc/training
https://www.dcroadrunners.org/training/10mile-half.html (this one has closed because they are working towards the March RnR race, but this type of group is what you want)

A coach or trainer will not be very good value for a first half marathon. I'd instead recommend picking an appropriate Hal Higdon plan based on the weekly mileage they were already doing, and find a local free running club to run with 1-2 days per week that fits within the plan.

I found my running coach on coach.com. He is weird but he personalizes my runs and I have gotten so much faster and better since working with him. It’s pretty cheap to hire one on there.

&Running is a running studio with classes and training (both indoor and outdoor) in Fulton (near Laurel/Columbia). The Fulton shopping area is also fun to check out (Harris Teeter, good restaurants)

Nike Run Club app has a 14-week half marathon guide if he ends up wanting train solo.

How much does the coach.com charge for the purses?

Purses? Do you mean courses? I pay $50 a session but my coach and I took it offline so I pay him $50 a week. He sends me running goals and is there for unlimited advice.
