What Runners Say
Plans That
Plans That
Actually Work.
★★★★★
I've tried generic marathon plans before and always ended up hurt. The RFL custom plan was completely different — it was built around how my body actually moves. I finished CIM pain-free and ran a 12-minute PR.
Sarah T.

★★★★★
Worth every penny. The gait analysis alone changed how I train. Getting a plan that accounted for my work schedule and my actual fitness — not some imaginary baseline — made it something I could actually stick to.
Mike L.
Danville, CA · Boston Qualifier
★★★★★
I was coming back from a hip injury and terrified to train hard again. The custom plan rebuilt my confidence as much as my fitness. Coach Francisco knew exactly where to push and where to hold back.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered.
AI plans are built on averages — they have no idea how your body actually moves. Running Fit Lab's custom plans start with a live video gait analysis, which means Coach Francisco can see your foot strike, your hip mechanics, your strength imbalances, and your injury risk factors before writing a single workout. An AI can generate words. It can't watch you run, identify why your left hip drops at mile 8, or get on a call to walk you through your pacing strategy. The $195 isn't for a document — it's for 15+ years of expertise applied specifically to your body.
Generic plans are written for the average runner — but there's no such thing. Your plan starts with a virtual gait analysis so Coach Francisco understands how your body actually moves before writing a single workout. Every session, every pace, every recovery day is specific to you, your race, and your schedule.
Plans are typically 12–18 weeks depending on your goal race, current fitness level, and how much lead time you have. The length is determined after your assessment — we never squeeze you into an arbitrary timeline.
Your custom training plan is delivered via PDF within 7 days of your virtual gait analysis and fitness assessment. You'll then schedule your 15-minute strategy call with Coach Francisco to walk through it together.
We build plans for 5K, 10K, half marathon, full marathon, and trail races. Whether you're training for the Livermore Valley Half, Bay Breeze, CIM, or your first local 5K — we know these courses and build your plan around your specific race.
Absolutely. Many of our custom plan athletes are first-time runners. We build around your current fitness, not some assumed baseline. The gait analysis is especially valuable for new runners who haven't yet built compensatory movement patterns.
Not quite. A custom training plan gives you a complete roadmap — assessment, personalized plan, and a coaching call. Personal coaching packages include ongoing 1-on-1 sessions, continuous video feedback, and real-time adjustments throughout your training. If you want the full coaching experience, check out our coaching packages.
