We are excited to offer the services of our head coach, Joe McConkey, to runners outside the greater Boston area, and to those unable to receive one-on-one coaching. Joe's reknowned attention to detail, full availability to clients (unlimited email and always a phone call away), and success with hundreds of runners from beginners to elite marathoners speaks for itself, but see what others are saying ...
Here's how it works ....
Runners first set up a phone consultation to discuss running goals, current health and fitness level, time schedules, and other relevant considerations. Initial Consultations are complimentary and take place prior to registration (so no commitment till you are comfortable!).
After the phone consultation, runners begin to receive weekly customized workouts that are designed to help achieve their performance goals and that are catered to their individual circumstances.
Upon completing their week's workout regiment, runners begin logging their workouts in their personal Log Book, of which has been specifically designed for runners training through the Boston Running Center. These entries are then reviewed by Joe on a weekly basis to more effectively design the workouts for the following week. The Log Book is complete with pace charts, mileage charts, google mapping technology, and more, but it is also very easy to use and understand.

Personalized tips and guidance are given by the coach through each runner's privately accessed on-line Notebook. Runners can also contact Joe directly through the notebook (which sends an email straight to Joe and straight to his phone!).

Through the Notebook and the Log Book a continual and personalized dialogue is established to better serve you, the runner, at an indvidual level. Unlimited phone calls (with-in reason ;-)) are also provided to help customize the training regimens... you can call Joe at the center or his cell phone!
