Lite Coaching: Training begins in 7 days.

Premium Coaching: Training begins 24 to 48 hours after.

Marathon Premium+: Training begins next day.

Lite Coaching is ideal for runners who want an expert-built training plan with a guided start, but minimal ongoing interaction.

Premium Coaching includes ongoing collaboration with a dedicated coach, regular training feedback, and continuous plan refinement as your fitness evolves.

Marathon Premium+ is a high-touch, race-specific option designed for runners in the final 4–6 months leading into a marathon. It includes daily oversight, race-week execution support, and a personalized fueling and hydration strategy.

You’re welcome to request either Coach Cory or Coach Brandon. If you don’t have a preference, we’ll pair you with the coach best suited to your experience level, goals, and schedule. Both Cory and Brandon have coached with Run Your Personal Best for over 10 years and work with runners across all abilities, ages, and distances.

Communication and feedback vary by plan. Most interaction takes place through the Final Surge app, with additional check-ins scheduled based on your coaching level.

• Lite Coaching includes 14 days of onboarding support, with communication available through the app, email, and text messaging during that initial setup period.

• Premium Coaching includes regular training feedback through the app and direct communication with your dedicated coach via email and text, along with one scheduled call or video every three months.

• Marathon Premium+ offers the highest level of interaction, with ongoing oversight through the app, monthly strategy calls or video sessions, and direct email and text communication with your coach throughout the marathon-specific build.

Lite Coaching and Premium Coaching are available internationally.

Marathon Premium+ is currently offered in the United States only due to sweat testing and fueling logistics.

Yes. You can change or upgrade plans as your goals, schedule, or training needs evolve.

If you’re considering a change, your coach can help recommend the best plan based on where you are in your training.

If you get injured, your coach will work with you to adjust your training, shift focus to recovery or cross-training when appropriate, and help guide your return when you’re ready. If you need to pause coaching, we can place a hold on future payments until you’re ready to resume, or cancel the plan if that’s the better option.

Lite and Premium Coaching can be canceled at any time. When notified before the next billing date, we offer a prorated final month. Marathon Premium+ is reviewed individually due to its high-touch, race-specific nature.
