COACHING & DESTINATION RUNS

Picture
Squaw Valley, California

Mauka Running offers online and personal coaching services for individuals and groups.  We provide training plans, running-technique consultations, strategic advice and motivation for everyone, including seasoned runners and beginners.  Whether you’re interested in running for fun and weight loss, completing a marathon or becoming the 100 Mile Ultra National Champion, we will help you to become the best runner you can be.  To sign up for a coaching plan or destination run, please email us at info@maukarunning.com



COACHING SERVICES

  • 3-Month Training Plans

We will consult with you in-person or on the phone.  During this conversation, we will talk about your current fitness, any important health concerns and your short-term and long-term running goals.  Once we get to know you, we will send you a 3-month training plan that is customized to your needs. 

This is not a cookie-cutter plan. 

At the end of the 3-month period, you may decide to keep working with us, but there is no obligation to do so.  In any case, we will have a 3-month consultation to discuss your progress.   

The charge for this 3-month training plan is $325 for a 3-month period, paid in advance. 


  • Personal Coaching

You will receive a training plan, provided two weeks at a time, customized to your strengths and weaknesses, your personal and employment obligations and designed to incorporate training routes where you live.  You will receive motivation from our coaches and be held accountable for putting in the miles.  We will communicate by e-mail, phone or text on a regular basis.  We will continually monitor your progress, discuss how you're feeling and decide whether we need to make modifications to your plan.   

Occasionally, as circumstances allow, personal coaching clients may be invited to group training sessions with Jorge, Laura and other Mauka Running clients, in the Bay Area, Lake Tahoe or other interesting location.  Some of these training sessions will be free of charge or discounted for Mauka Running clients on personal coaching plans.     

We will also have a pre-race consultation that includes development of a race strategy, a hydration and fueling plan and selection of appropriate technical gear. 

The personal coaching plan is $180 per month paid in advance.  There is a $50 initial consultation fee, which is in addition to the monthly fee.  There is no term agreement, and you can cancel at any time.

Monthly Payment Options

  • Hourly Services

Hourly coaching services are available at a rate of $50 per hour.  This option is perfect for an athlete who desires individualized video analysis of their running form, a pre-race strategy consultation or a coaching consultation of any kind.  
Hourly Payment Options

  • Basic Training Plans

You will receive a basic one month training plan or a 3-month training plan targeted for a particular goal or race.  Plans include 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, 50k, 50 mile, 100k and 100 mile options.  This service does not include a consultation.  The plans are based on Jorge and Laura's proprietary training methods for each of the distances.  

The one-month training plan is $25.  The three-month training plan is $65.
