Mid-Distance Athletes.
Whether you're chasing a PR, trying to earn a varsity spot, or eyeing college recruitment — private coaching gives you the individual attention your team practices can't.
800
800 Meters
Build the strength to run two hard laps without fading in the final 200. We train both the speed and the aerobic engine — and the race strategy to use both on cue.
1600
1600 Meters / Mile
The mile demands perfect pacing, mental toughness, and a ferocious final kick. We sharpen all three — and teach you to stay relaxed through the pain of laps 2 and 3.
3200
3200 Meters / 2 Mile
Patience, grit, and race strategy separate good 3200 runners from great ones. We build the engine and the plan — so you have something left when it matters most.
XC
Cross Country / 5K
Cross country fitness is the foundation of every track event. Train year-round with purpose and arrive at your first meet fitter, stronger, and more confident than your competition.
What Private Coaching Includes
Every Session
Every Session
Built for You.
Generic team workouts aren't written for your mechanics, your weaknesses, or your race schedule. Private coaching with Francisco is — every session, every week.
01
In-Person Track Gait Analysis
Francisco watches your athlete run live on the track — identifying the form issues costing them time and increasing injury risk. Arm carry, overstriding, hip drop, cadence — small corrections produce big time drops.
02
Custom Speed Workouts
Workouts built around your athlete's current fitness, race schedule, and target time — adjusted weekly based on how they respond. No templates, no guesswork.
03
Strength & Injury Prevention
Most high school runners get hurt from doing too much, too fast. We build the strength and movement quality that keeps athletes healthy through championship season.
04
Race Strategy & Mental Prep
Knowing how to run a race is half the battle. We dial in splits, teach surge response, and build the competitive habits that show up when it counts — at the conference meet, not in practice.
05
Ongoing Text & Email Support
Coaching doesn't end when the workout does. Reach Francisco directly between sessions — pre-meet nerves, warmup questions, or anything that comes up during the week.

Coach Francisco identified a hip mechanics issue in my first session that had been causing recurring shin splints all season. He rebuilt my form from the ground up. I finished the season injury-free and ran a 45-second PR in the 1600 at our conference meet.

My daughter went from JV to varsity in one offseason. The private coaching gave her individual attention her team practices simply couldn't. Francisco knew exactly what she needed to get there.

The race strategy coaching was the biggest thing for me. I always went out too fast and died. Francisco taught me how to actually race — I dropped 30 seconds off my 3200 just by running smarter.

FAQs.
Absolutely. Private coaching complements your school team training — it doesn't replace it. We work around your practice and meet schedule, filling the gaps team coaches don't have time to address individually: form, race strategy, and personalized speed work built specifically for your event.
Sessions are in-person in Dublin, San Ramon, Pleasanton, Danville, and Livermore. We can meet at your school track, a local park track, or wherever is most convenient for your family. The gait analysis always starts on a track so Francisco can watch your real stride under real conditions.
Yes. Francisco has experience guiding high school athletes through the college recruitment process — from building the performance resume to training specifically for college-level fitness standards. Our 8-session block includes college recruitment guidance as part of the program.
We work with middle school athletes through college-age runners — typically grades 6 through 12. Programs are fully individualized, so we meet every athlete exactly where they are, whether it's their first year of track or they're a returning varsity runner chasing a state qualifier time.
Most athletes notice meaningful form improvements within the first 1–2 sessions. Race performance gains — faster times, better pacing, less fading — typically show up within 4–8 weeks of consistent training. The gait analysis alone often produces immediate efficiency improvements that athletes feel in their very next workout.
