How does the Runner Tune Up work?

During the initial coaching call, Dr. Lauren will work with you to create an individualized training plan based upon your current level of fitness and running experience as well as taking into consideration your training goals, upcoming races and schedule considerations.

On this call, you will also discuss areas of limitation or weakness to help design a run specific warm up geared towards your body’s needs. This may or may not require a brief physical assessment depending on your injury history. In follow-up coaching calls, you may 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 discussing training priorities and goals. Focusing on habits you can build outside of your physical training to help support your body’s ability to recover, adapt and perform. This will include discussing fueling for performance and intra-run fueling, hydration and electrolyte needs throughout your day and on the run, stress management tools, recovery priorities and mindset tips to keep you healthy throughout all phases of your training.

Each program is uniquely personalized based upon your running experience, injury history and goals with monthly memberships available for 3 and 6 months durations.
