I thought I couldn't run even 50mts before getting into Running, 8 years back. Mine is a story of Couch to Track and I started with just 2k initially and in 9 years have completed unlimited Half Marathons, more than a dozen Marathons and 5 Ultra Marathons, with 75kms being my max distance. I continue to train with a long-term goal of completing 24-hours run. I strongly believe that "If you can dream it; you can do it!". I do not believe in pace, and I focus more on "Joy of Running".
My basic Coaching Philosophy is to keep things simple. As a running coach, my objective is to guide the runners to achieve their potential while not losing out on the Joy of Running. While runners enjoy running, they should also get a holistic view of running, strength training, injury prevention and all related aspects of running and also ensure that they don't overtrain or overburn and take a backseat, if required. Be a mentor, guide to the runners and help them understand their body and train accordingly.
Every accomplished Runner starts as a Beginner and as a coach my objective is to help the beginner unleash their potential to become an accomplished runner in a holistic & structured fashion.
In simple words, each of us are different and hence the training methodology will be different.
