Central Ohio Track Coaching
Build your competitive edge during your offseason
Private and small group track coaching is our specialty
We help middle school, high school, collegiate and masters level athletes of any skill level get season or race ready. Our current athletes range from complete beginners new to the sport as well as state, national and collegiate-level athletes. Whether your athlete is planning to run at the collegiate level or simply running for fun, we hope that their training leads to a life-long love of running and physical fitness.
We are a USA Track and Field club as well as a member of the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
How we help
We offer high school and middle school athletes prepare for their upcoming track season through off private and small group off-season training. We help them build speed, power, and endurance to be best prepared for their season. More importantly, we help athletes feel more confident, while developing a love for sport or competition
All training is applied based on an athlete’s current ability and experience as well as where they are in the offseason, or preseason training. We follow periodized training principles and apply the latest/proven sports science and sport performance methodologies. We don’t just “run” or do “busywork”.
Additionally, we occasionally use slow-motion video analysis and electronic timing systems to capture form, technique and accurate timing for sprints. Our electronic timing systems are accurate down to 2/100s of a second and can simulate “set commands” and simulated starter pistols.
1:1 Private Track Coaching
Our 1:1 Winter spots are currently full Winter. In the meantime, please check out our small group sessions below.
Our group sizes are kept small so your athlete gets personalized attention.
Small Group / Semi Private Track Coaching
Limited number of spaces are available for the days/times below.
Important Dates:
Small group training is available now and runs weekly through the weekend of February 22nd/23rd which is when most school teams will start official training.
What we do:
Each session is an hour long and starts with a warmup and form/technique drills. This prepares the athlete for their workout and helps focus on good form, technique and muscle activation. During the warm-up we will talk about the previous week’s workouts (which we will assign) and discuss progress, answer questions, etc.
After the warm-up we break up into two groups:
Sprinters and 400M runners will work on block starts, acceleration, max speed, breathing techniques, reactive drills, speed, strength, endurance, race strategy, and more.
Mid/Long distance runners will work on endurance, speed, strength, stamina, pacing, breathing, race strategy and more.
After the workout, we will do a cool-down and discuss what to work on during the upcoming week. We work as a team, regardless of each athletes ability or background.
* We do not coach field events, jumps. throws, or hurdle technique (Hurdlers would benefit from the running speed development).

We work with runners from dozens of Central Ohio school districts, including Olentangy, Dublin, Worthington, Westerville, Delaware, New Albany, Big Walnut, Johnstown-Monroe, Northridge, Centerburg, Hilliard, Columbus, Columbus Academy, Columbus School for Girls, Bishop Ready, Bishop Watterson, Clearfork, Grandview Heights, Bexley, Gahanna and Upper Arlington plus numerous middle schools across these districts.
Our coaches don’t just complete a “weekend certification”. Our coaches seek out continuing education programs and regularly attend national training clinics to make sure we are up to date on the latest training modalities and sports science.
Events we coach
We work with a wide range of Track and Cross Country athletes. We specialize in all running events, from sprints to mid/long distance individual and team relays. We do not coach hurdle technique, however we can help with power, speed and endurance.
Sprints
We coach the following Sprint distances:
Boys / Girls – 100M Dash
Boys / Girls – 200M Dash
Boys / Girls – 400M Dash
When we work with Sprinters, we focus our training around four primary phases of Sprint mechanics:
1. Starts (Including standing and block starts)
2. Acceleration
3. Drive phase (Top speed)
4. Deceleration*
*The name Deceleration is misleading – Here, we are not trying to actively slow down, but rather this is where we have to work harder to stave off fatigue factors that slow us down – for example, working on our anaerobic endurance)
Relays
We coach the following Relay distances:
Boys / Girls 4x100M
Boys / Girls 4x200M
Boys / Girls 4x400M
Boys / Girls 4x800M
Mid-Distance / Distance
Boys / Girls 800M Run
Boys / Girls 1600M Run
Boys / Girls 3200M Run
Events we don’t coach
We do not coach the following events:
Hurdles (although we CAN coach starts, acceleration, and speed/endurance – just not hurdle technique)
Jumps
Throws
