After sign-up you will receive an email with our athlete questionnaire with detailed questions about YOUR training and racing history, life, schedule and goals. Simply email that back to us. We’ll then set up a call with you to discuss what we find and then we’ll craft a truly individualized training plan based on your answers. You, then, are off and running (literally).

What other coaching plans give you unlimited contact with your very own Personal Coach?

With Personal Online Coaching, you have UNLIMITED contact with your McMillan running coach. The coach/athlete relationship is vital in terms of being able to adjust a schedule as things get in the way… which they sometimes do. If you need someone to adjust your program based on your results, keep you motivated and help strategize your race plan, then Personal Online Coaching is for you. We coach athletes for any distance from 800 meters to 100 miles.

McMillan Coaching Philosophy

• We believe a customized program is better than a generic program.
• We believe a coach is a trusted partner in your quest to be better.
• We believe all runners deserve the same personal attention and expert advice that the world’s best runners receive.

“I had been doing the same workouts for years, and had plateaued. Having new challenges each week keeps things fresh, and I love the feeling of completing a workout that looked difficult, or even intimidating, on paper. My coach is extremely supportive and has helped me stay strong and injury-free for over a year. I’m enjoying training more than I ever have before because I’m continually presented with new, challenging workouts and getting the satisfaction of completing them, as well as dropping my race times.”

When we first met Alec at running camp, his biggest question was how he could train for a marathon and still run fast over shorter distances. He signed up for coaching soon after and we set out to make Alec’s goals possible. We’ve been so excited to see the incredible strides that he’s made in the short time he’s been training with us. Check out his before and after PRs!

5k: 18:47 to 16:40
10k: 40:41 to 35:12
Half: 1:34:31 to 1:19:34
Full: 3:29:58 to 2:54:25 (WOW!)

“The biggest value to me of the coaching process is the discipline that comes from having a specific run at a specific pace assigned for a specific day. And, while I am running I feel that my coach is there with me and I owe it to him to do the work. That motivates me. I give fairly detailed training reports and they’ve been great in giving me real-time feedback, motivation, and encouragement. The coaching goes way beyond just a spreadsheet, and the relationship I have built is extremely important.”

“Over the past two years, my marathon times have steadily increased. My goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon seemed more like a dream than reality. At the urging of a friend, I signed up with your program in April of 2015. With your guidance, I was finally able to achieve my goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon on January 17 at the Houston Marathon with a time of 3:34:48, beating my previous personal record by 16 minutes. Thanks to your coaching and your program I ran the perfect race!”

PERSONAL COACHING FAQs

I'm not a fast runner, is your program right for me?
How are coaches assigned?
Do you coach ultramarathoners?
Do you coach triathletes?
Do I have to pay upfront or am I billed monthly?

Is it really unlimited contact with my coach?

Yes! And, this begins with our initial call or video chat session where we get to know you. We believe the coach/athlete relationship revolves around great communication so you have UNLIMITED contact with your very own personal coach.  Call, email, text, Skype, FaceTime, fax (well not fax anymore) but pretty much any way you want to communicate, we’re here for you.

If I sign up for coaching, what if something (illness, life stress, injury, pregnancy, etc.) comes up and I need to take a break from the training?

Should life get in the way and for whatever reason you need to pause your coaching, just let us know. We’ll put your coaching “on hold” and stop payments. Because our coaching roster fills up from time to time, we’ll also save a spot for you for when you return.

How does the on-boarding process work?

After sign-up you will receive an email with our athlete questionnaire with detailed questions about YOUR training and racing history, life, schedule and goals. Simply email that back to us. We’ll then set up a call with you to discuss what we find and then we’ll craft a truly individualized training plan based on your answers. You, then, are off and running (literally).

I'm not a fast runner, is your program right for me?

You bet! We work with runners at the back, middle and front of the pack. Our only criteria is determination. If you are goal-oriented and determined to reach your goals then we’re here to help, no matter what your pace.

How are coaches assigned?

Once you sign up and return your questionnaire, Greg thoroughly reviews your information and goals. If he’s the best fit for you and he has a spot available in his coaching roster, then he’ll be your coach. If not, he then matches you and your goals to a McMillan coach that has the best experience with runners like you. Then, Greg and that coach work together to help you reach your goals. Your main contact is the coach but Greg is always involved and available.

Do you coach ultramarathoners?

You bet! Any distance between 50K and 100 miles.

Do you coach triathletes?

Yes and no. We are happy to help multi-sport athletes with their running. However, we only help with your running. If you want a full program with all sports, then we recommend you work with a multi-sport specific coach. We will, of course, schedule the training taking into account your other activities but feel we aren’t qualified to provide cycling and swimming workouts.

Do I have to pay upfront or am I billed monthly?

Coaching is paid monthly via automatic renewal so once you sign up, it’s smooth sailing.

Can I really just hire a coach for one month?

Yes! With McMillan Run Coaching, there are no term restrictions. If you have a big race coming up and just want coaching for 1-2 months, no problem. We have athletes who have been with us for nearly a decade and others that join us for a month or two at a time. Ultimately, it’s whatever you need. We’re here for you.
