FAQ

HOW IS THE SLOW COACH DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ONLINE RUNNING FORUMS?

We recognise that there are many outstanding programs out there, many of them free. But for the most part training programs in the public domain are aimed at a cohort who are naturally fit, experienced, athletic and confident with their running journey.

The Slow Coach aims to create a safe, inclusive and welcoming space for runners who might otherwise be intimidated by running programs. No matter your age, experience, fitness levels, size or aspirations we can get you from flat to finish line.

DOES THE SLOW COACH OFFER ANY FREE RESOURCES?

Yes. Why not browse the free resources here. You’ll find a bunch of knowledge pieces including your free copy of “Slouch to Slowly” - our custom couch to 2km program for new runners. We also share our thoughts on why being a beginner is your superpower.

We’d also love you to like our Facebook page visit our video library, read our blog or ask us a question about running.

CAN I TRAIN WITH THE SLOW COACH IF I'VE NEVER RUN BEFORE?

Absolutely. Running is awesome, but many of us have never been fast, and never will be. But that does not need to matter one iota. Run with the Slow Coach is your portal to a joy and love of running, a social group, an endorphin high and a tremendous sense of personal accomplishment. 

I’M WORRIED THAT I’M TOO OLD, TOO BIG, TOO NEW, TOO ANYTHING TO START RUNNING

You are not. In order to be the runner you want to be, you must first be the runner you are today. We have a program for every age, every level, every gender, every body.
