Would you like to be fit enough to run a strong half marathon by April? Have you always wanted to get detailed feedback about your running form and efficiency?
This 13-week program is perfect for runners looking to compete and PR in a Spring Half Marathon. The program focuses on technique improvement, run durability, and speed development. Athletes will be streamed based upon their existing running foundation and injury risk profile.

A video capture session will be followed by a one-on-one session over zoom to review your running form, and receive specific feedback on specific drills, strength & mobility exercises that you should focus on for improvement. Finally, athletes will receive a written report along with a copy of their video.

Startline Coaching recommends all athletes become USAT annual members rather than pay individual program USAT waiver fees.
A credit card processing fee of 3% will be assessed if a credit card is used for payment. Zelle payments are available without a processing fee. Additional $15 USAT one-day waiver fee(s) will be assessed at program check-in for all NON USAT members. No refunds are available for this program.
