Running Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Palm Desert
Most people do not quit running because it is hard — they quit because they started like it was easy. Maddy's run coaching begins wherever you are, including zero: run-walk intervals that build the habit before they build the distance, an easy pace you can actually hold a conversation at, and a weekly structure that adds load gradually instead of doubling it because you felt good on Tuesday. Two short strength sessions ride alongside the running, because durable runners are built in the gym as much as on the road. The early goals are concrete — a continuous 5K, then a structured 10K — with sessions written as effort targets you can follow with or without a watch. Check-ins review your completed runs, how they felt, and any niggles early, so small complaints get schedule changes before they become forced breaks.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Starts at zero if needed: run-walk intervals that build the habit before the distance.
- Easy pace defined honestly — conversational — so base miles actually stay easy.
- Weekly load progressed gradually, with cutback weeks written into every block.
- Two short strength sessions alongside the running, because durable runners are strong ones.
- Niggles reported at check-ins get same-week schedule changes, not a push-through order.
Who this is for:
- Complete beginners who want a coached path from the first run-walk to a continuous 5K and beyond.
- Returning runners whose last three attempts ended in shin or knee complaints by week four.

Common questions
I have never run in my life. Where do I actually start?
With run-walk intervals sized to your Body Scan answers — short run segments inside a walking session, progressed week by week. The first milestone is a continuous easy run, and the plan gets you there without heroics.
How do I avoid the shin and knee pain that stopped me last time?
Most new-runner complaints trace to load rising faster than the body adapts. The plan progresses volume conservatively, keeps easy runs genuinely easy, and adds strength work — and anything that persists belongs with a clinician, with the plan adjusted around their advice.
Do I need to work on speed as a beginner?
Not yet. The base comes first: easy, conversational running builds the aerobic engine that later speed work spends. Strides and light interval work enter the plan once the base holds — in that order, on purpose.
