For running coaches

Turn your coaching into a running guide.

For running coaches exploring digital products, a training guide can explain more than the weekly plan: easy pace, recovery and how to adjust when a week goes wrong. We research, write and design it in your voice, built first at our cost.

For creators with an engaged, English speaking audience, typically between 10,000 and 100,000 followers.

The questions

The guide is already in your comments.

Repeated questions can suggest what a guide should explain. They do not prove that someone will buy. We read your content, comments and questions, then group the recurring asks into a product idea to evaluate.

  • How slow is easy pace, really?asked under every easy-run post
  • Can I go from 5k to a half in twelve weeks?the DM you get every week
  • What should I eat before a long run?under a race-day video
  • My shins hurt every time I add mileage.a situation, described in their words

What a guide could look like

An example outline. Yours comes from your audience.

Running · training guide

A twelve-week build from a comfortable 5k to a half marathon start line.

Bonus tools

  • Twelve-week plan with three starting levels
  • Training log and race-week checklist

Illustrative outline, written for this page. We have not built a running guide yet. Yours would come from your content and your audience's questions, and could look quite different.

  1. Where you are startingA simple self-check and an honest baseline week.
  2. Easy means easyTalk-test pacing, and why most runs should feel too slow.
  3. The long runHow it grows week by week, and how to recover from it.
  4. One quality session a weekStrides, tempo and intervals, in plain language.
  5. Strength and mobility basicsTwo short routines that fit before or after a run.
  6. Fuel and race weekWhat to practise in training so race day holds no surprises.
  7. Niggles and restAdjusting the plan, and knowing when to see a professional.

Likely buyers

The people already asking you.

  • New runners who finished a 5k and want a bigger goal.
  • Runners who keep getting hurt when they add mileage too fast.
  • Followers who want your approach, not a generic plan from an app.

Why a guide

A training plan on its own is easy to find. What your followers want is your reasoning: why this pace, why this week is lighter, what to do when life gets in the way. That reasoning is what turns a plan into a guide.

Questions

Before you apply.

Free training plans are everywhere. Why would anyone pay for mine?

Because a plan is only the table at the back. The guide is your reasoning around it: pacing, recovery, what to change when a week goes wrong, in your voice. We do not promise sales. We build the full product first, at our cost, so you can judge it before agreeing to anything.

Do I need to write the guide myself?

No. We research, write and design the whole product from your content and your audience's questions, in your voice. You read the finished product and approve it before anything is published.

Who owns the product?

This is set in the written agreement before work starts. We do not publish anything under your name without your approval, and we do not claim your audience or your content.
