Coaching partnership
Where would you like running to take you?
Whether you would like to reach that ambitious marathon time, experience freedom in the mountains, or run for longevity and health, your Innate Running partnership will be designed to help you get there.
What to expect:
Thorough onboarding that includes an assessment of your running and injury history, schedule availability, and running related goals
Programme design in Final Surge, provided 1 - 2 weeks in advance
Unlimited programme adjustments that cater toward any unforeseen circumstances or life’s ebbs-and-flows that are likely to have an impact on your training.
Unlimited communication via Final Surge that may be tied to either workout data or your own subjective experience.
Monthly online or in-person meetings to talk through programme progress
“Ryan was able to help me perfectly squeeze all that I could out of the prep and marathon execution and I would have been much worse off if I hadn’t decided to train with him. I learned a ton through my time with him with respect to running, incorporating strength training, proper fueling, etc. Cannot recommend him enough!”
Ryan West (Marathoner)
how the coaching process works
BUT FIRST... COFFEE
This is where you can learn if Innate Running is going to be a good fit. This is also a good opportunity to talk about
your goals, needs, and what you hope to get out of our partnership.
PROGRAMME CRAFTED
... In tune with your needs and goals. After the first month, your programme will be updated every 1 - 2 weeks
on the coaching and training platform, Final Surge.
RECEIVE CLARITY AND GUIDANCE
Each target workout contains additional detail related to the intention of the workout -
from target paces to planned durations and distances.
UNDERSTAND YOUR NUMBERS
Metrics from each workout are carried over to Final Surge, which allows us to understand how
you're responding to the workload relative to the intention of the programme.
TRUST YOUR EXPERIENCE
Comment and receive feedback on each workout. The more you engage
in the programme through dialogue,
the more it'll reflect your own unique set of needs.
RECEIVE FEEDBACK ON EACH SESSION
Ongoing communication helps to add colour and detail to the programme - allowing to
properly reflect who you are and where you want to take your running adventures.
strength training for runners
Ensure that you can continue to do what you love
Strength training significantly enhances running economy —the energy cost of running at a given pace—by improving neuromuscular efficiency, tendon stiffness, muscle fibre recruitment, and postural stability. These changes reduce the impact of running, enabling you to continue doing what they love in the best possible way.
Here’s what you can expect
A review of session goals and desired outcomes (according to your running and injury history)
A gait/technique analysis. This is used to provide direction and context for the strength session. Strength exercises performed will be referred back to your own individual style and sense of movement.
A 90 minute strength training session that is not only instructional, but also informative - my goal is to encourage you to create a better sense of awareness around how you move. Efficient running is a skill that needs to be learned and reinforced.

Guidance on how to work your strength training programme into your running week.
