Geneva

Running coach in Geneva

Geneva has the densest concentration of lakeside sports facilities in the region, and the parks along the Eaux-Vives and Pâquis shores carry most of the outdoor coaching that happens here. It is also compact: a coach can cross the city in twenty minutes, which means we can usually match a session to a time rather than to a neighbourhood.

The international population changes what people book. A large share of our Geneva sessions are people who have arrived recently and are picking a sport back up somewhere unfamiliar, often in a language other than the local one. English is the working language for most of our coaches here, and several work in German, Italian or Spanish. Say what you would 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.
