Custom Running Training Plans for Bay Area Runners

Race with a Plan Built Just for You.

No two runners are the same — and your training plan shouldn't be either. At Running Fit Lab, we build personalized running programs designed around your current fitness level, lifestyle, race goals, and experience.

Whether you're preparing for your first 5K, chasing a half marathon PR, or training to qualify for Boston, we'll craft a plan that fits you — not the other way around.

How It Works

  • We start with a live video assessment to evaluate your full-body movement patterns.
    Using slow-motion gait analysis and mobility screening, we identify running form inefficiencies that can lead to common injuries like:

    • Plantar fasciitis

    • Runner’s knee

    • Shin splints

    • Foot and ankle issues

    By addressing these imbalances first, your custom plan doesn't just make you faster — it helps you stay healthy while you build strength, speed, and endurance.

  • After your assessment, we craft a fully personalized 12–18 week training plan tailored to your goals — whether that's:

    • Qualifying for a major marathon

    • Crushing a new PR

    • Completing your first big race

    Your plan will be delivered via PDF email within 7 days of your assessment — built specifically for your running mechanics, schedule, and target race.

  • You'll schedule a 15-minute video or phone call with your Running Fit Lab coach to review your plan in detail.
    Ask questions. Get clarity on workouts, pacing strategies, cross-training recommendations, and anything else you need to start strong.

    We don't just hand you a plan — we coach you through it.
