Frequently Asked Questions:
Coaching Staff @ Myicoach

Q: I've been training for years without a coach, why do I need to pay for one now?
A: Studies have shown that most people are unable to look at themselves with true objectivity. A coach is there to know the difference between too much and too little training. Walking the fine line between the two is difficult, so why chance injury or not performing to your best ability?

Q: Who does the coaching for Myicoach.com?
A: Myicoach.com maintains a network of coaches across the country. When an athlete registers they will receive the bio of the coach that has been selected for them. We match a coach with an athlete based on the needs of the athlete and previous experience of the athlete.
The person who matches athletes with coaches is Lowell Ladd. He is the Director of Coaching for Myicoach.com. Lowell coaches as well and you can see his impressive bio by going to the coaching staff link.

Q: How individualized are the programs at Myicoach.com?
A: HIGHLY! That's our focus. Every person is different, every person leads a different life; we understand and work with that. We work with YOU, to achieve YOUR goals. We don't simply design a plan and tell you to do it. We work with you every step of the way, giving you constant feedback, encouragement, and advice.

Q: How knowledgeable are the coaches at Myicoach.com?
A: Very! Our coaches have been in the sport for many years helping athletes achieve success, while attaining success of their own. Our coaches have guided teams and individuals to National Championship competitions, produced All-Americans, and professional runners.

Q: How does Myicoach.com differ from a running club and personal coach?
A: We differ in several ways. 1) We're flexible. We work around your schedule. 2) We're less expensive. Running clubs and personal coaches can run hundreds or thousands of dollars a month. Our most expensive package is only $100 for a 4-week program…and you get the same, if not higher, level of coaching. Plus with us, you have a personal coach with his undivided attention.

Q: Do you work with just runners?
A: No, we currently and have worked with multi-sport athletes, cyclists, figure skaters, and people interested in general fitness.

A: Absolutely! We utilize the PayPal payment systems. PayPal is user friendly and ensures the safety of your personal information.

Q: How quickly will I get a response back from my coach?
A: We guarantee a response within 24 hours via phone and/or e-mail. However, feedback from your coach is usually only several hours.

Q: Do I have to buy and keep a training log?
A: All your training and racing information will be stored on our servers and you can access it anytime day or night with your username and password. You will be able to update your training progress and racing performance on your individual online training log.
