What makes MinneVan Coaching different?
We believe that our athletes deserve our best. Period. That is why we don't offer multiple tiers of coaching with different expectations for communication, customization, response time, or anything else. You should know we'll prescribe strength training as part of your program. We'll offer you two options: Run Coaching and Run Coaching + Strength.
If you're already a gym-goer, a resistance band guru, or you've been there, done that in the weight room, we trust your skills. If you've never picked up a weight, don't know where to start, or just want some support with your programming to keep things fresh, we'll spend the extra time building a strength program you can use and feel confident about.
If you work with MinneVan Coaching, you get access to our entire coaching staff and their expertise. Running is a personal experience and having the right coach can go a long way to ensuring your happiness, improvement, and longevity (not only in sport but also in daily life). It's often said that two heads are better than one, and with coaches who have a wealth of experience from the 4x400 meter through the 100+ miler, who could argue?
What to expect:
-
Personalized training plans tailored to your goals and abilities delivered through TrainingPeaks, the gold standard of coaching software.
-
The opportunity for daily feedback through the TrainingPeaks app. Leave comments on each of your runs. We encourage it!
-
Regular check-ins either virtually or in-person when possible. Running is personal; we want to see you when we can!

Our coaches have spent their lifetimes loving running and coaching. Read more about them to see if we would be a good fit!

What's next?
You may notice that there isn't a way to sign up for coaching on the website. Good catch! But what gives?
It's pretty simple: we manage our roster so we can ensure we have the time and resources to give each of our athletes the attention they deserve. Rather than allow you to purchase a coaching plan only to have us tell you we have too many clients already, we're managing our signups very closely. We're not like other coaches or companies who prioritize generating a high volume of coached athletes. We care about the quality of our relationships with our athletes, not the quantity.
