Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long before I receive my new program?
A: It usually takes about 5 business days to review your Athlete Questionnaire and design and build your program.

Q: What if my race is more than 12 weeks away?
A: No problem. There are also 16, 20 and 24 week programs available. I can also do any number of weeks you need. Email me to discuss your particular situation.

Q: What is the difference between the Custom Training Program and your Online Coaching Program?
A: The Custom Training Program service is designed for runners who don't need a coach but would like a plan designed just for them instead of a generic training plan. With this program, there is no access to coaching. The Online Coaching Program is designed for athletes who want interaction with a coach.

Q: How is my program delivered to me?
A: You'll receive an Excel spreadsheet or a PDF file containing your program.

Q: Why are you offering this program?
A: McMillan Running's mission is to help runners. This program is one more way to fulfill this mission. I realize that not everyone needs the personalized interaction of an online coach but all runners need a smart training plan. This program is now available so that they, too, can succeed just like the personal coaching athletes do.

Q: I'm a beginning runner, is this for me?
A: Yes! The program I've designed for beginning runners provides a smart and safe way to increase your fitness, lose weight and build yourself into a complete runner. And, we have a lot of fun in the process!
