Free Running Coach?

I’ll just come out and say it…I don’t have the money to spend on a running coach.

Anybody know of a legit coach out there that wants to help someone out?

I know I can go online and find a ton of training programs but how do I know if they work and who wrote it.

I’ve been an avid runner/triathlete for the past 5 years. I do the shorter races like sprint tri, 5k, 10k and half mary. I’ve won my age group numerous times in those said distances, but I would like a coach to help me win an overall. I know I’m asking for a handout but this is where I’m at right now.

I think I’m missing something in my run and I want a coach to shed some light on it.

Thanks,

Have you read this book and this book, you can even find the exact plans online for free and go from there.

Hmm… to be completely honest with you I don’t think that anyone on here would give their time for free. Not because you’re not good enough or something, just because having smore people in a squad requires more time and basically time isn’t at spare for a coach.

Best thing would be to check the online running program and ask a local friend/coach or the forum if it seems good. You can get some advices for free but dedicated coaching will come at a fee. I’m sure other will also agree with this.
