I have worked with coaches before, but working with Cory was by far the best experience. He not only provided a training plan that focused on runs to improve my ability, but his tips around fueling, carb loading, recovery and strength training is what really made the difference. I was able to hit my goals with a 7 minute marathon PR and get a BQ with a healthy buffer. Not only did I PR, but more importantly it was my first marathon out of many where I actually felt good the whole run and didn't hit a wall thanks to his fueling advice.
I’ve been working with Coach Brandon Birdsong for over three years. He’s extremely flexible and adaptable with training plans, consistently checks in, and is always available to discuss workouts and goals. Working with Brandon has truly transformed my running, and I can’t recommend his coaching highly enough. He’s knowledgeable, genuinely cares about your progress, and helps you reach your full potential.
I'm not a fast runner, so wasn't sure I "deserved" to work with a coach. Every week Cory adjusted to how I was feeling, adjusted for my crazy work and travel schedule and helped to rein me in when I was pushing too hard. He supportively guided me to decisions on races and paces. He offered great support with access to nutrition experts and helped to get my mind and body in a better place. After all this hard work, I ran to a 63 min marathon PR!! Working with Cory has been great and I can't recommend him enough for ANY runner, at ANY pace!!
Almost a year ago, I was chronically injured with ITB pain. I wasn't sure what to do. So, I reached out to Brandon and he has been nothing but FANTASTIC! I was able to train through the injury - I got strong AND healthy. He used Cross Training to build my strength and set me up for one of the biggest racing successes of my life - a 3 HOUR PR at the same 50 mile course just 1 year later. I am grateful and can't imagine training without him! #coachoftheyear

How does online running coaching work?
With an online running coach, you get a personalized training plan and support to help you reach your goals.
Your coach learns about your goals and experience, and then builds a custom training plan for you in a user-friendly running app. This plan is designed to fit your lifestyle and tailored to help you meet your running goals.
You follow your schedule and track runs in the app, and your coach monitors your progress and adjusts your training as necessary. You’ll also have access via phone, email or text to ask questions as they arise.
The result is a true 1-to-1 coaching experience that ensures you have the accountability and support you need to succeed.
