The Details
ARRANGEMENT
Unless otherwise agreed to, all coaching services are provided remotely (digitally). The runner is expected to perform their training at a time that best suits their personal schedule throughout the week.
COMMUNICATIONS
The runner is encouraged to contact Coach Lee via text or email at any point during the training schedule with questions, concerns, and feedback. Responses are typically provided within several hours and generally not more than a working day.
At a minimum, the runner shall maintain their daily training log (provided by The Running Architect) and submit it to Coach Lee following the last workout or run of every week and at least a day ahead of the next week. This allows for adjustments to be made to the runner’s training plan based upon the runner’s unique progress.
PAYMENTS
All fees are to be paid in advance and are non-refundable. Individual sessions may be rescheduled without charges if notice is provided at least 4 hours in advance. Payment by cash or check.
Should a runner not be able to complete a training course due to significant injury, unique personal incident, or similar unforeseen unique circumstance during the first 60% of the course, the runner may apply any unused pro-rated fees towards any future training plan provided by The Running Architect. There will be no fee adjustment or refunds for any Pre Half or Pre Full Marathon Training course.
All runners must sign a waiver and agree to the Standard Terms and Conditions of The Running Architect. These documents will be provided to the runner in advance of each training session.
Discounted Rates for individual consultations, Half or Full Marathon training sessions available to members of The 501 Running Club and the Ann Arbor Track Club.
Fees for training plans associated with specific destination races or specific goals are individually quoted to each runner prior to beginning a training period. The fees are generally based upon a weekly rate and the extent of individual coaching "Run With" sessions (if any).
POST RACE EVALUATION
Each runner who completes their destination event with the help of The Running Architect will receive an individualized post-race evaluation. Each runner will also receive recommendations for recovery training intended to help each runner avoid potential future injury and safely return to running and racing.
“I travel a lot for work and Lee is really great at creating a customized plan that works around my travel schedule. As a younger runner I always have a lot of questions on if I am “tracking” towards my goals correctly, and he’s quick to give me informative and reassuring answers.”
