You’ve started running and you’re making progress. Now that you’ve reached the point where you enjoy running fast and climbing higher in the rankings every day, you hit a wall: either you get injured or you stop improving.

This is where a coach can help. A coach knows exactly what kind of training (or rest) you need. With them you can plan your workouts properly, tailored to your needs, and by doing so you’ll improve every day — with the guarantee that you won’t get injured down the road. So yes, of course you need a coach.

These days none of us has much time. Most of us go out to train whenever we can, with the clock ticking, so an online coach is an option well worth considering.

With TrainerPlan, the coach creates the workouts and they’re instantly available to all their athletes. Anywhere, from any device.

Some of the features include:

• Group workouts, where the coach can bring together athletes of the same level or athletes training for a similar event.
• Copy and paste days and/or weeks, making similar workouts quicker and easier to plan.
• Save workouts as templates, to use them with different athletes or groups.
• Multi-week training plans, to structure several weeks of training in one go.
• Track your athletes’ payments. Useful for coaches with many athletes.
• An event calendar where you can add the competitions available to your athletes.
• Instant comments and feedback on workouts.
• Real-time chat.
• The app notifies you whenever a workout changes and sends you an email if you want.
