Frequently asked questions FAQ

I’m currently not running at all. Is the running clinic right for me?

Yes, in fact often times it’s best if you’re not running to start with a new habit, a new way to run, that will lead you to a more enjoyable experience and not hurt yourself.

I currently have a race coming up. How long does it take to transition to a new way to run?

The good news is that if your cardio is already conditioned for running, making the switch over to a new way of running will be way less difficult. It should be noted, you typically have to build up again to distance is you’re currently running. The building process is covered in the clinic.

So all I have to do is take one running clinic and my running will be fixed?

The answer is mostly yes. If you are committed to making the transition and change to the proper running form, all you have to do is learn the correct motion. It’s sort of like riding a bike. However, to aid in the transition, we offer a weekly running coach program where you can run with a coach in a group. That way you are supported and any questions or issues can be addressed quickly.

I currently have an injury. Can I take the clinic?

This one’s a bit tricky. If you can hop in place like you’re jumping a rope without pain, then the answer is yes. We will be monitoring any pain that arises while you’re taking the clinic and you may have to postpone during your rehab.

Why don’t you train on a treadmill?

People run differently on a treadmill. The surface is not hard and people run differently. We encourage running outside on trails or popular running paths so we want to train you for this scenario.

While exact figures vary by study and how the question is asked:

  • ~70–80% of runners run outdoors regularly.
  • ~20–25% report using a treadmill as part of their running routine.

We want our run coaching to cater to the majority.

You teach outdoors, what if it’s raining?

The running clinics occur, rain or shine. However, if there is snow or ice, or a thunderstorm or torrential rain, the clinics are sometimes rescheduled.

What age ranges do you coach?

My youngest students are 12 years old or older. I believe that anyone can run, although arthritis and other age related problems, make it more difficult for older people.

Do you provide coaching after the Intro Running Clinic?

Yes! Once you graduate from the FreeToRun Intro Running Clinic, you’ll have the opportunity to continue improving with our ongoing coaching programs.
