Owen Anderson's web site for runners who want to improve their training, sports nutrition, injury prevention, and performances

Coaching

Here are the benefits of being coached by Owen:

 

  • All running and strengthening workouts are provided by e-mail
  • Full progressions are included for your running and strengthening sessions; you move from less to more difficult, from less to more specific, and from slower to faster over time 
  • Reasonable short- and long-term goals are always set
  • Race-specific strategies are developed
  • The balance between work and recovery is optimized
  • E-mail interaction is unlimited, and phone conversation is available whenever you need it
  •  vVO2max testing is carried out, and vVO2max and lactate-threshold speed are maximized
  • Injuries are blocked by the inclusion of running-specific strength training
  • Full dietary analysis is also provided for no extra charge
 
The program is open to runners of all ages and ability levels.  After you sign up, Owen contacts you, and you fill out a personal training questionnaire which is e-mailed back to him. You then discuss your personal goals with Owen, and he sends your first 10 days of training sessions, along with a specific plan for attaining your goals. You keep Owen informed about the outcomes of the workouts, and he sends your progressed training to you in a timely fashion.  As your running fitness increases, the difficulty of your schedule is enhanced in parallel. This is not a canned program – it is unique to you and your abilities. Weaknesses in your fitness and strength are systematically identified and corrected, and regular testing is utilized to monitor your gains in fitness.  Strong psychological and motivational support is a key aspect of the program.
