Do I need to be a fast runner to work with you?

• Absolutely not. I work with runners at every level, from first-timers to Boston hopefuls. What matters is that you're committed to showing up and putting in the work. Speed is something we build together.

What makes your 1:1 programming different from a generic plan or AI plan?

• A generic plan doesn't know about your weird left knee, your 6am commute, or the fact that you've had three "almost injuries" in the last year. I build programs around your body, your schedule, and your goals... and I check in regularly to adjust as things evolve. You're not just a template.

I already have a running coach, can I still work with you?

• Yes!!! This actually comes up a lot! If you have a running coach you love, I offer a custom strength program that syncs with your existing training plan. You get the strength work without disrupting what's already working on the running side

How much time will I have to dedicate to strength training?

• Depends on the plan. Workouts are generally 35-45 mins long, but can be shortened or lengthened. And the goal is to do a minimum of 2 days/week up to 5 days/week. 

What's the difference between a program on the App and 1:1 Personalized Training?

• The App Subscription is a structured, runner-specific strength program delivered through an app. It's all of Coach Meg J's brainwork poured into seasonal programs which are built for runners who want a clear system without the custom price tag. The Personalized Programs are built specifically for you, with two check-ins per week and real-time adjustments. Here's the full breakdown:​
  • ​App is ranges from $49.99 monthly to $49.99-249.00, depending on how many weeks the plan lasts
    
  • Custom Running & Strength Plans are $400.oo/month
    
  • Custom Strength Plans are $300.00/month
    
  • Custom Running Plans are $200/month
    

Do I need a gym membership?

• A gym membership is really helpful, but a lot can be done at home with a few weights and bands. For personalized programs, we'll build around whatever equipment and space you have access to. Just let me know what you're working with.

Will strength training make me bulky or slow?

• This is probably the most common concern I hear... and the short answer is NO. The programs I design for runners are focused on strength, power, and injury prevention, not muscle size. We're training your body to run better, not to look like a bodybuilder. You'll feel stronger. You'll run faster. And honestly, your arms will look better too. 

How quickly will I see results?

• Most runners notice changes in how they feel... less fatigue, fewer nagging aches... within the first 4–6 weeks. Performance gains (faster paces, better race splits) tend to show up over a full training cycle. Strength training is a long game, but it's one of the highest-return investments you can make in your running.

I'm currently injured. Can I still work with you?​

• It depends on the injury and where you are in recovery. Reach out and let's talk — I've navigated my own share of setbacks (sprained ankles, lost toenails, and yes, brain surgery) so I don't take this stuff lightly. In many cases, strategic strength work is exactly what helps runners come back stronger. In others, we wait until you're cleared. Either way, I'll be honest with you.

Which option is right for me?

• Fill out the form on the home page, and we'll set up a call or over email. I'd rather spend five minutes helping you figure out the right fit than have you sign up for the wrong thing.

Do you have any free resources?

• Yes! I host free workshops (like the Anti-Injury Workshop with Coach K), send a weekly email packed with practical training tips, and post frequently on Instagram (@coachmegjulian). All are great ways to get a feel for how I coach before committing to a program. Sign up on the Weekly Email page.
