Running Technique Coach Near Me: How to Find the Right Coach for You

If you want to run faster, feel lighter, and stay injury-free — this is where it starts.

Why Your Running Technique Matters

Most runners were never actually taught how to run. Over 70% of recreational runners get injured each year — often not because they train too hard, but because of inefficient movement patterns.
Tiny issues in posture, stride length, or foot strike can become chronic pain. A qualified running technique coach helps you identify those issues and fix them, so you can run farther, faster, and pain-free.

What a Great Running Technique Coach Should Do

  • Use video analysis to break down your form in slow motion.
  • Keep clinic sizes small so you get real personal feedback.
  • Combine biomechanics with clear, practical coaching cues.
  • Give hands-on drills you can practice immediately.
  • Help you set realistic, measurable goals that match your lifestyle.

Example of running clinic results

Recently I taught Emily Talley of the Naturally Fit sports news channel how to run correctly.

It was a brief lesson but she caught on quickly and seemed to enjoy .

Take a look at this before and after video.  In a clinic you will receive the same coaching and video analysis to help you perfect your stride and take it to the next level.  Can you see the difference??

Get it, read it, live it – Born to Run.

This is a truly wonderful book!  I few years ago I borrowed it from my friend, Tom.  I read it in 3 days!  I could not put this book down.  It has an important message about running, life, and the tarahumara, a hidden tribe from the Mexico copper canyons.

This tribe is really born running and uses running as their way of transport.  No cars!  They don’t have a paradym that running is hard or takes training, power bars, etc…. they just run for the joy of it!

You can purchase the book here.
