Montreux

Running coach in Montreux

Montreux has a genuine microclimate — the mountains behind shelter it, and palm trees grow along the lakefront — which means outdoor sessions here run comfortably for weeks either side of the season elsewhere around the lake. In February, when Lausanne is unusable outdoors, Montreux often is not. It is the most reliable place in the region to book winter outdoor coaching.

Behind the town the ground rises very sharply towards Les Avants and Rochers-de-Naye, so hill work here is serious rather than decorative. The town is also seasonal: summer and the festival period are busy and accommodation-driven, while spring and autumn are the easiest times to get the slot you actually want.

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.
