Personal Best Running Program

Eliminate the guesswork and get faster

If you are training for an event such as a marathon, half marathon, Ultra - Marathon, 5k, 10k or just running for fun,  The Running Coaches at Third Coast Training has a training solution help you achieve your fitness and performance goals. Get on track with one of our running testing or training packages and understand the heart rate where you reach your anaerobic threshold. Our running coaches will help you learn about your Aerobic base, how wide your base is and how aerobically efficient you are. The exact amount of calories you need to consume to fuel up for your training and running event. Avoid the bonk!


With this valuable information and correct training regime your body will make adaptations which will improve your aerobic capacity and efficiency, help move your anaerobic threshold higher, train your body to burn fat as a preferred fuel. As your heart rate training zones move higher you will notice how your times improve, how much stronger you feel, how your body composition improves and how training becomes less stressful and challenging.

Train smarter not harder

Many marathon runners start a race at to quick a pace working anaerobicly, knowing your threshold and having a efficient aerobic base allows you to run at a sustainable pace and prevents fatigue in the latter stages of the race or training session.If too much of your training is spent at or above your threshold you may find your fitness level plateau's or may even decrease, the metabolic assessment will help you prevent the negative effects of over training.You will know your heart rates for your base training sessions, the intensities you need to train at for your speed work, interval sessions, and where to train on your recovery days.

Break your performance plateau


Whether you're training for a 5k, 10k, half marathon, marathon or ultra-marathon don't be intimidated, Third Coast Training has something for everyone, at every level ... custom programs designed for elite, experienced and beginner athletes.
