What if I’m brand new to running? 

We’re stoked to start this journey with you! Whether your goal is to run your first 5K or qualify for the Boston Marathon, your programming will be written to meet you where you are. From there, Sam will help you get where you want to go. 


What do I need?

  • Free access to the V.02 app (“VDOT”) where your program will be posted each week 

  • A watch — preferably a running watch, like a Garmin, Coros, or Apple Watch 

  • A free Strava account

  • Running shoes

  • A foam roller or other post-run recovery tool

  • Check out Sam’s go-to gear here


How do I get started? 

Fill out a form on this page! Sam will get in touch to discuss your goals, pricing, and more! 


What does a typical week of training look like?

You can expect 3-6 runs per week, depending on your goals, needs, and availability. Most of your weekly workouts will be run at a relatively easy pace. But you’ll also be scheduled for quality sessions — think: threshold, repetitions, intervals, hills, and fartleks. 


What if the paces given to me are too fast/slow? 

You can provide feedback to Sam after every workout, so she’ll know how you felt and can optimize your programming as needed. 


How do I communicate with Sam?

You’ll be able to communicate with Sam though the V.02 app. You can always expect a reply from her within 24 hours. 


Can I train on a treadmill?

Yes! Just make sure your treadmill incline is always set at 1% - 2% incline to more closely mimic running outside.


Do you offer strength training? 

Yes! Sam is a certified Strength & Conditioning coach. You can learn more about strength training offerings here
