Great, let's keep it that way! However, more than 50% of runners get injured every year, and it almost always happens when they're pushing toward a new PR or a bigger training block. Injury prevention isn't separate from performance. They're the same thing: your body needs to get stronger.

A traditional run coach can push your mileage, give you workouts, and get you faster in the short term. But when your body breaks down, and statistically the chances are high, they're out of their depth. The combination of running coaching and physical therapy knowledge is what keeps you training consistently long enough to actually get fast.

That's the difference here.

Did you get actual rehab, or did you get worked on for 30 minutes by a glorified massagist? Did you gradually and consistently build your body's capacity, or did you get handed a PDF with some exercises? Did you actually run during your rehab, being taught what's manageable and what's too much, or did you just get told to "rest for 2-4 weeks and ease back in"? Or did you just pull a few exercises from Instagram and hope for the best?

To be clear: I'm not coming at you. It's literally not your fault. The reality is, there's many physical therapists out there who have no clue what they're doing. If your therapist has never run a single 10k in their life, how can you expect them to truly understand you? Social media isn't much better either: it's scattered advice, often contradicting, sometimes plain wrong.

Rehab that works means a clear diagnosis, finding the level of load your body can handle without worsening the injury, then gradually transitioning from rehab to performance. The goal isn't to just get you pain-free, it is to get you past the point that got you injured in the first place. This is why there's so many stories on this page from people who had physical therapy before without success, but finally got the breakthrough working with me.

Consistent doesn't always mean efficient. Most runners stuck in a plateau don't know how to break through it by using the right balance of running intensities and strength training, when to push and when to take it easy, and how nutrition and recovery supports everything.

Most runners in this situation turn to YouTube, AI tools, or another generic plan to try to figure it out. The problem is AI will analyze your training and tell you you're doing great. It's built to confirm what you're already doing, not to challenge it. The runners on this page didn't get outlier results from generic advice. They got them because the plan was built around them specifically, targeted exactly what was holding them back, and adjusted when something wasn't working. That's not something an algorithm can give you.

The minimum commitment is 3 months, but most people choose 6. That's the best window to see meaningful progress, whether you're coming back from injury or chasing a new PR. Most clients continue beyond their initial coaching period, but of course you're free to continue on your own using everything you've learned.

On investment: coaching isn't cheap, and it shouldn't be. You're getting a physical therapist and running coach in one, with a plan built specifically for you and adjusted every week. The exact price depends on your situation and goals, which we cover on the free discovery call. What I can tell you is that most clients save months of wasted training, avoid injuries that would cost far more, and finally stop spinning their wheels.

Depends on where you're starting. If you're dealing with an injury, most clients notice clear improvements in pain within 2-4 weeks of following the plan consistently. Full resolution typically takes 6-12 weeks depending on severity.

If your goal is performance, the early weeks are about building the right foundation. You won't run a PR in week 2. But within the first month, most clients already feel the difference in how their training is structured, how they recover, and how much more intentional their sessions feel. Real performance gains compound over months. The variable is always consistency, and that's what we build together.
