Lugano
Running coach in Lugano
Lugano is the warmest place we serve by a clear margin, and the season for outdoor training runs from March to November rather than May to September. Monte Brè and San Salvatore rise steeply straight out of the town, so the flat lakeside promenade and a proper mountain climb are five minutes apart.
The pace of life is Italian and the booking behaviour follows: later sessions, more evenings, fewer 6am starts than anywhere north of the Gotthard. Our coaches here work in Italian and English, and several in German.
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.
