Why Choose Us

What do you need in a running coach? A canned program that never gets updated? No contact except maybe an email or two? No understanding of how your training fits into the rest of your life? That’s not how the Runners Hotline works. We won’t develop a running training program for you without knowing you, your goals, your specific needs and challenges.

Need help with mental prep? You will get it. Need a strength and conditioning program. We can do that. Advice on nutrition? We’re here for you.

We will meet via Zoom at least 2x before we send you your program. We then meet every 2-4 weeks (depending on the program you select) to review your progress and make any required changes so that it fits into your life and we can carefully track your progress.

NUTRITION COACHING

Macro Roadmap to Results

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACHING GET STRONGER. REDUCE INJURY RISK. RUN FASTER

60-minute 1:1 Intensive session with Dietitian Nutrition Coach, Abby, who specializes in helping you achieve your performance goals using a customized Macro approach. In your Intensive session we will:

All for a one-time investment of $275.00 Chances are you’re being hounded with fad diet and quick fix ads, and that’s exactly why I created the Macro Roadmap to Results 1:1 Intensive. So that you can: Stop questioning if the diet you’re on is even working. Finally get permission to eat the carbs that your body needs to get strong, and improve your endurance and performance! Enjoy your tacos and margs without fearing you’ll lose progress.

Sometimes we might not need long-term coaching, accountability, and support; but just need the roadmap to get started. ie: You don’t know what to do, but can do it/follow through with professional guidance. You are highly motivated to take your roadmap and compass and use it to navigate through the different phases of your goal. Our clients don’t question their food choices because they have a clear, defined strategy of how to fuel their body for their personal goals. At CWA, we believe nutrition shouldn’t be a cookie cutter approach. Once you sign on with us, you’ll get access to our Nutrition Portal/App and complete your Initial Nutrition Assessment, giving Coach Abby all the details on where you currently are, so she can best strategize where you need to go.

From there, you will have your Initial Zoom Call with Coach Abby (usually ~1 week from when you sign on) to establish your nutrition roadmap with customized macro recommendations + a periodized plan. The performance you’re desiring is on the other side… And Iwe can help you achieve it! What are you waiting for?

20 Laws of Running

Get Stronger. Minimize Injuries. Run Faster.

Multi-phase approach to diagnosing what you need to do in order to train hard, stay injury-free and race fast. In your process we will:

We will then conduct a mobility/movement screening where you will video yourself doing movements so I can see exactly how your body moves and where you are strong and weak. I want to see how your body loads and unloads forces.

Next is a strength screening where you will perform several repetitions of various exercises. Yes, this can be humbling but we’re focusing on how to get you stronger and more injury-resistant, so you have to do it.

With these videos in hand, I will design a custom exercise program to take you through the training schedule with your running coach.  I will send the plan to your coach so it can be integrated into your training schedule. Get ready for big results!

ADDITIONAL STRENGTH

So many injuries are caused by weaknesses that force us to compensate by using our bodies in efficient ways. Our strength coach will show you the exercises you need to be your best

ADDITIONAL NUTRITION

Proper nutrition supports our running but too many of us don't know what we need and how to implement a program that works. Our nutrition specialist can solve that problem, today.
