MEET YOUR COACH
Jimmy Picard, DPT
Physical therapist. UESCA-certified ultrarunning coach. Fellow athlete.
I know what it means when running is more than exercise. My background in collegiate running, competitive cycling, and physical therapy shapes how I look at training: your workload, recovery, history, and life all matter.
We’ll build a plan around the runner you are today and the goals you’re working toward.

Which plan is right for me?
Choose Run Coaching for a personalized plan, structured weekly feedback, and one monthly call. Choose Coaching + if you want more discussion, feedback, and routine adjustments between weekly reviews, plus two monthly calls and access to office hours. Both tiers include injury-related training adjustments when needed.
What happens when I get started?
Coaching begins with a 60-minute consultation to review your goals, training history, schedule, and equipment. Complete your intake before the consultation. Your first training plan starts within the following two weeks, with timing based on your individual needs.
What does strength programming include?
Individualized strength programming is delivered through TrainingPeaks alongside your running plan. Sessions are tailored to your goals, experience, and available equipment, with exercise demonstration videos.
Is TrainingPeaks Premium included? What equipment do I need?
TrainingPeaks Premium is included in both tiers. A GPS watch is required; a heart-rate monitor is optional. Run Coaching plans are published every 1–2 weeks; Coaching + plans are updated weekly or as needed.
How do we communicate, and when will I hear back?
Use TrainingPeaks for workout comments and email for check-ins and scheduling. Replies arrive within two business days, Monday–Friday. Run Coaching includes a weekly check-in. Coaching + includes unlimited messaging and feedback between reviews when you raise a question or training concern. Unlimited messaging does not mean immediate replies or continuous monitoring.
How do coaching calls work?
Scheduled calls last 30 minutes. Run Coaching includes one call each month; Coaching + includes two. Unused calls do not roll over.
What are office hours?
Coaching + includes optional weekly office hours: time Jimmy reserves for individual support on a first-come, first-served basis. These are separate from your scheduled calls and are not group sessions. Available times are shared during onboarding.
What if I develop symptoms or get injured?
Both tiers include injury-related training adjustments when needed, including between weekly reviews. Flag symptoms so your training can be adjusted. Physical therapy evaluation and treatment are booked and billed separately.
What do I need to do as an athlete?
Log your workouts and perceived effort, complete weekly check-ins, and communicate symptoms or schedule changes. This helps keep your plan aligned with your progress and needs.
How do billing, cancellation, and pauses work?
Coaching is month-to-month with automatic monthly billing and no minimum commitment. Cancel at least seven days before your next billing date. Pauses must be arranged before the next billing date.
