Chur

Running coach in Chur

Chur is the oldest continuously settled town in the country and the capital of Graubünden, which is really a statement about geography: it sits in a bowl at the meeting point of several valleys, and everything radiates outward from it. Brambrüesch rises directly above the town and is reached by cable car from the centre, so a session can move from street level to 1,600 metres without a car.

It is the practical base for the whole canton. Arosa, Lenzerheide, Flims and the Engadin all start here, which makes Chur the obvious place to train before a mountain week or recover after one.

Running

What an hour of running coaching actually covers

Usually one of three things. Form — cadence, foot strike, what your arms are doing on a hill. Pacing — most recreational runners run every session at the same uncomfortable middle speed, and fixing that alone changes results. Or race preparation, where the session is built backwards from a date you have in the calendar.

Hills are not optional here

This is not flat country. Any route from the lake goes up, which means hill technique matters more here than it does for someone training in Amsterdam. It also means your coach will likely take you somewhere with a gradient whether or not you asked.

Common questions

I am slow. Will I be able to keep up?

Your coach runs at your pace, not theirs. A coaching session is not a training run with someone fitter than you.

Do you write training plans?

A session can end with a plan for the next few weeks, and many do. Say when you book that this is what you want so your coach builds the hour around it.

What if it rains?

We run. If conditions are genuinely dangerous — ice, storm — your coach will contact you and we move the session at no cost.

Can I book with a friend?

Yes, if you run at roughly similar paces. Choose the 90-minute session so there is time for both of you.
