Zug

Running coach in Zug

Zug is compact enough that the lake, the old town and the base of the Zugerberg are all within a short ride of each other. The lakeside path is flat and sheltered; the Zugerberg behind gives a short, steep climb that is ideal for interval work and is the default hill session for everyone who trains here.

The town's commodity trading and corporate population books differently from elsewhere: more lunchtime slots, more two-person sessions with colleagues, and more sessions arranged at short notice. English is the working language for most of our coaches here.

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.
