Hebel Running
Training Plan Options
Training plans and workouts are custom and made for each individual athlete based on their goals and experience level. I would recommend at least an 8 or 12 week plan for shorter races, and a 16 or 20 week plan for the half and full marathon distances. I encourage frequent communication and feedback from my athletes: the more insight I have into your training, the more I can help you reach your goals. Whether it's a plan change or motivational/emotional support, I'm available 24/7.
8 week plan: $50
12 week plan: $75
16 week plan: $100
20 week plan: $150

Running Philosophies
"Every run has a goal, every mile has a purpose."
There are no shortcuts to success. Adaptations and improvements take weeks, months and years and occur in very small increments. New runners become good runners, and good runners become great runners through experience, hard work and time spent running. Great runners develop great habits: they train the right way, eat healthy and get enough sleep at night. They develop a solid running routine, which includes a proper warmup and cool down. My goal as a coach is to teach other runners these traits. Once we learn healthy running habits, we can take aim at our goals.
Flexibility in training. There are so many things that can get in the way of training for a race. Whether it be a job or family responsibilities, we all have other life commitments that can sometimes pull us away from running. People get sick, tired or run down. The weather doesn't cooperate. Not only are these training interruptions inevitable, but I believe in a lot of instances they are necessary. Training demands a lot of energy, both physically and mentally, and we need to take time to let our bodies and mind take a break. I believe in incorporating "recovery" weeks into my training plans, especially in the later stages of training, to give athletes a chance to recover. If you miss a workout or two, we'll discuss and adjust your plan accordingly. As a coach and avid runner, I understand that things happen and that training plans need to be flexible and fluid to be effective.
As a competitive runner, I understand the hard work and dedication that goes into setting goals and wanting to achieve them. As a coach, I will put all of my effort and knowledge into helping my athletes succeed, but not at the expense of their overall health or well being. I will be honest with you if I think the goal you’ve set is too high or the time allotted is inadequate to safely achieve that goal. That’s not to say you have to change your goal, but maybe together we can come up with a different approach. If we train the right way, the PR’s will come.
