With races cancelled or moving virtual, having a set plan is more important than ever. Whether collaborating to set meaningful goals or ensuring accountability, a coaching plan is an excellent way to stay motivated and focused on achieving your goals.
When it comes to training, there's no quick fix or one size fits all approach. In thinking about the rich tradition of the Church, we see too a great variety of devotions, religious communities, practices of prayer and favorite saints. We are, as St. Paul says, "many parts" in the One Body of Christ. This is seen in how we run and train as well.
Coach Sullivan will work with you to write a training plan designed to help you reach your goals and find joy in the process of getting there.
For some, this may mean earning a BQ, finishing your first 10k, victory at a local Turkey Trot, or just training to stay healthy.
While goals are important and help motivate and focus a training regimen, the guiding philosophy here at Frassati Running is to emphasize the process over the product.
In short, we believe that as runners and as people, we are more than what we produce. Our worth and dignity is derived from our Baptismal identity as sons and daughters of God.
We seek excellence in training, remain dedicated to the task, work hard in the process, but strive to remember that our identity is not found in race results but in the God who has given us the heart and lungs to get moving in the first place.

Individual, customized coaching plans are $40/month
Fast is a relative term - every speed, level, and age is welcome
Plans are custom, so we can build a plan for just about any distance. In full disclosure, I have no experience with ultra running or serious sprinting (anything less than a mile), so if you are looking to grab a golden ticket for Western States, there is probably a better suited coach for your needs.
That's alright - we can build a plan around general fitness and endurance and find a race that works as we progress.
Plans can be flexible. While athletes are expected to commit to the overall plan, there's no doubt that life can get pretty hectic. We don't sweat the small stuff here. If you miss a run, or need to cut one short by a little bit to take care of something else, it's all good. What's important is that athletes are committed to an overall goal and keep everything in perspective. Here at FRC, that perspective often means that training doesn't always come first.
