Central Ohio Speed & Track Coaching

For middle school and high school sprinters and distance runners who want to get faster and fitter in the offseason, so they can compete at their best in track season.

Our offseason track training helps middle school and high school sprinters and distance runners of any skill level prepare for their indoor and outdoor track seasons. We keep our groups small so each athlete gets frequent attention.

Sessions are held on a real track in Lewis Center, Ohio, and are led by experienced coaches who have worked with middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes. Athletes who train through the offseason arrive at the first day of school practice ready to compete.

Why Train with Run For Performance?

Real Track, Real Results

Every session is held on a real track, not a gym. Athletes train in the same conditions they compete in.

Small Groups

Group sizes are intentionally managed. There are enough athletes to create energy and real camaraderie, and every athlete still gets individual coaching and feedback within the group.

Experienced Coaches

Our coaches have worked with athletes at every level: complete beginners, state and national qualifiers, and collegiate athletes. Every workout is planned and purposeful.

USATF Member Club

Run For Performance is a USATF member club committed to developing athletes the right way.

Evidence-Based, Periodized Training

Plans are built on current sports science and structured into training cycles, not assembled from generic programs. Every workout has a purpose and a place in the progression.

SafeSport Certified

Our coaches are SafeSport certified and have federal background checks through USATF.

Prefer to train individually?

We have a very limited number of 1:1 openings, because most of our private training times are held by current athletes. Contact us to check availability.

Late Fall / Winter 1:1 coaching: For Late Fall / Winter, new 1:1 athletes commit to the full season, November through February: 12 weekly sessions, prepaid at $960. Your athlete’s day and time are set based on availability, and stay the same each week. Because that time is reserved for your athlete, it generally does not move, though in a few cases we may be able to reschedule.
