FAQ

What is 2L Coaching Services?

A company that provides personalized individual coaching to runners and triathletes of all ages and ability levels by assigning them to a personal running or triathlon coach who will work with that individual to help them get the most out of their training.

Is this a computer program?

No. You’ll get a real person who will work with you similar to a personal trainer at a gym, except that it will be someone with a background specifically in running and/or triathlons.

Why do I need a coach?

Runners, triathletes, and duathletes need a coach for various reasons. Some people need help with motivation. Others need someone with experience designing training for people like you. Most people are not capable of objectively coaching themselves, and under or over train without guidance. A coach can help you get the most out of training while minimizing the risk of injuries.

Are all coaches the same?

No. You should look into the background of all coaches and companies very carefully. Find out if the coach has experience working with people like you, if their company has been in business long, and if they are certified.

Who is an “ideal” person for this service?

Anyone! Beginners will benefit from the knowledge that an experienced coach has. Even experienced and accomplished runners will benefit from having someone who has coached NCAA All-Americans and international athletes guide their training.

How do you decide which coach I will get?

Coaching assignments are based on matching your background and goals with the coach that can best help you achieve them. Once you sign up, we have you complete a comprehensive member questionnaire that will help us pair you up with a coach. If you have looked over our staff and have a preference for a specific coach, just contact us and let us know - we'll be happy to honor that request.

How will I receive my workouts?

Workouts will be given to you in one of three ways – you decide which one. You can have them posted on the website in the member’s area, have them sent to you by email, or faxed to you if you do not have regular access to email and/or the internet.

How much can I expect to improve if I use this service?

It varies tremendously from person to person, depending on your background and other factors. Results in running are not instant; they take time and hard work on the part of you and your coach. People who are new to the sport can expect to improve more than people who have been running for years, but everyone can reap the benefits and see improvement from this coaching service.

Is this just for runners?

No. Our coaching staff has personal atheletic and coaching experience working with general fitness individuals and triathletes over the years to develop training plans that encompass the various disciplines and bring the various components of multi-sport training together in one cohesive set of workouts.

What is the difference between a sports nutritionist and a registered dietician working with athletes?

Any coach, personal trainer, or fitness professional with any level of education in nutrition can call them a nutritionist. A registered dietician has gone through a rigorous education program and been licensed by the state agency certifying their in-depth knowlege of nutrition.
