It couldn’t be simpler. Choose a length of plan that works best for you. Maybe you only want to try it out for a few months to see how you improve, or maybe you are in it for the long haul and want to train for that bucket list event!
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).
Provide feedback to your coach throughout the program via email, phone, text or Skype on an unlimited basis. Let us know the results of each key workout, race, any issues, family commitments, etc. This allows us to make any necessary adjustments to the training schedule and we can chat anytime you like. We’re always here for you.
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.
Want to chat as you decide? We’re here to help. Email Greg.
5k: 18:47 to 17:15
10k: 40:41 to 38:30
Half: 1:34:31 to 1:29:15 (marathon pace trial)
Full: 3:29:58 to 3:00:21 (WOW!)
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.
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.

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.
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.

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