How does the Runner Tune Up work?

During the initial coaching call, Dr. Lauren will complete a thorough assessment to determine any areas of weakness regarding your physical fitness, mindset, nutrition, hydration and recovery. This will help narrow down areas that need the most focus to improve your training outputs and performance, while keeping you healthy through all phases of training.

You may discuss and/or review specific exercises to address any areas of weakness or limitation noted in your physical exam. These exercises typically start out as a running warm up and progress, if you choose, to a full strength training routine. The goal is for these exercises to supplement your current training, whether in or out of season. Follow-up sessions look to progress these exercises to increase strength, endurance, and speed to match the demands of your training and fitness goals.

Time will also be allocated each session to discuss the next month of training, goals and other important concepts like mindset, nutrition, hydration and recovery. Each program is uniquely customized based upon your running experience, injury history and goals with monthly memberships available for 3 and 6 months durations.

How long does each session last?

The initial coaching session will take approximately 60 minutes due to the extensive assessment performed and follow up questioning. Follow-up sessions will be approximately 45 minutes.

How do we meet for the coaching calls?

Runners meeting 1:1 with Dr. Lauren via a private zoom meeting. Each appointment reminder contains the zoom link needed to access your call. Monthly coaching is not available for in-person sessions at this time.

Will insurance cover the program or can I be reimbursed via my insurance company?

That being said Dr. Lauren offers payment plan options and exclusive perks for those looking to pay in full. And certain FSA/HSA programs can be accepted as payment along with all other major credit cards, cash, check and/or venmo.
