Fribourg

Running coach in Fribourg

Fribourg is built around a loop of the Sarine gorge, which means the town changes altitude constantly and almost nothing here is flat. That makes it unusually good for conditioning work and unusually demanding for anyone expecting a gentle riverside jog. The sports facilities sit mostly on the plateau above the old town, a short walk or a funicular ride from the centre.

It is also genuinely bilingual — the language border runs through the canton, and the river through the town is roughly where it falls. Our coaches here typically work in both French and German, which is rarer than it sounds and worth knowing if you would rather train in one than the other. Say which you prefer when you book.

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.
