Coaching Services

Thanks for looking into the services I offer! If you’re interested in purchasing a customized 8 to 12 week training plan only, please contact me. I’m currently not taking on any new personal training clients for on-going coaching.

Online Run Coaching is for all kinds of runners and wannabe runners.

Especially Adult Onset Runners!

I started running as an adult. I know what it’s like to get lost in the running jargon, believing I could never get faster and running would never get easier. I walked/jogged for years before I could run without stopping. I’ll never forget how I felt (like a super hero) when I ran my first half marathon without walk breaks! It was a precious victory for me.

Break The Mental Barriers

The mental aspect of running is a huge part of training for all levels, but it is especially frustrating for new runners. I’ve been there. I know it can seem impossible to keep running or to run faster when your body is screaming and your mind is going numb with alarm bells, self-doubt, and frustration. As a coach, I can help you break apart those mental barriers and run through them!

Unlike the free race training plans you find online, my custom plan is specific to your fitness level, includes cross training workouts to strengthen your body, and keep you from over- or under-training for your race. It’s time to see what you can really do!

Especially WOD Enthusiasts!

I’m one of the few crazy (awesome) people who loves to run far and loves CrossFit and strength training.

Run Stronger, Longer

I can help you balance your race training with the WODs at your box so that you don’t wind up over-worked and under-trained at the start line of your race.

About Coach Henness

Why coach?

I spent years being “The Runner” in my social circles. It was no big surprise when friends, and even friends of friends, came to me with all their running questions. If I didn’t have a good answer for them, I made it my job to find out…and so it began. I’ll admit I’m a little addicted to celebrating the accomplishments of other runners and that is what really drives me as a coach – I want to see your running dreams become reality because I know it will change your life!

Experience:

In 2012, I started my CrossFit instructor training program at CrossFit Surf City in Huntington Beach, CA. This included several months of studying athletic training and practicing group fitness coaching techniques with our head coach before being signed-off to coach classes on my own. In 2013 I passed my CrossFit Level 1 Trainer certification.

In 2013, I got my RRCA Coaching Certification and began working with runners all over the U.S. online. I’ve worked with new runners who aren’t sure they can run a full mile without stopping and I’ve worked with experienced marathoners looking to get faster.

In 2016 I added a NASM Certified Personal Trainer certification to my tool belt. I believe the best way to be a lifelong runner is to incorporate a full body fitness routine. Therefore, I offer comprehensive training plans that include plyometrics, resistance training, and strength training!

Coaching Style:

Am I going to make you run every day and twice on Saturday? No.
There are a lot of theories on the best way to train for a race. However, theories are only helpful if they actually address your personal training needs. I will draw from all that I know to create a plan that meets your specific needs. As a general rule, for half marathons and above, I include long slow distance runs once a week; building up to 10+ for a half and 20+ for full marathons. Depending on your abilities, I incorporate strength and conditioning exercises as well. There is always at least one rest day.
