Coach-Guided 6 Week speed bootcamp
Spice up your training and dust off the cobwebs on your speed (or finally get some if you’ve never had it 🙂
Our 6 week bootcamp will be a fun change to your training, give you measurable improvements in speed, and translate to improved performance to longer events.
Ready to Improve Your Speed?
Did you know that one of the first things you lose as you get older is your speed? Did you also know that improving your speed (and therefore your mechanics and efficiency) can make a tremendous impact on your half and marathon times?
Luckily, speed is something that we can get back and improve if we focus on it in training.
Unfortunately, for most runners like you and I, we tend to get into cycles of training for race after race and never have the time to actually focus on keeping up or improving our speed.
Well, now’s the time!
This 6-week speed bootcamp will target your training to either a mile or 5k race, whichever you prefer and fits best with your goals.
Then, you’ll follow our custom 6-week speed plan that incorporates some new and exciting workouts to get your legs moving fast. Plus, you’ll have strength work to prevent injuries and plyometric and drills to get your muscles firing explosively again!
All this while being guided by our resident sub-4 miler coach Michael Hammond and a small team of like-minded runners to keep you accountable and having fun.
Are you ready to unleash the speed within you? Let’s do it!

We Write You a Custom Schedule
Your training schedule is custom created and meticulously written just for you.

How Our Coaches Help Guide Your Training
In addition to your group coach, we use our team of expert coaches to help answer your questions, adjust your training, and keep you accountable. You can ask questions in our private stream, post questions when you log your workouts, and interact with us during the live calls.
Strength Work Built Into Your Plan
We will assign you specific strength routines each day so you’ll know exactly what you need to do each day of the week. We include include a variety of different strength exercises, such as core, hip strength, total body, circuits, and injury prevention work based on your training history, age, injury history and goals, all of which don’t require a gym. Thus, your strength training will be unique to you.
Injury Prevention And Treatment
A Fun Team to Keep You Motivated and Accountable
Our platform helps to keep you motivated by connecting you to small-group team of other runners doing the same bootcamp challenge. The teams are small, so you’re not “sharing with the world” and can build real comradery through your shared experiences with the workouts and challenges.
Weekly Zoom Calls With Your Coaches and Team
Our zoom calls are an awesome combination of fun and learning. You’ll have a chance to ask questions to your coach, review the previous week of training, and of course interact and see your new teammates. These Zoom calls will quickly become the favorite part of your week. All Zoom calls are recorded so you can view later if you can’t attend live.
Don't Take Our Word For It
“I learned new tricks on how to increase my speed. I restored my will to do strength training, and I had fun chatting with the speedsters and the coach every Wednesday.
The Mile Time Trial was the cherry on top, but the truth is that way before that I was having so much fun that it could not go wrong. The result was that my confidence is back and, hey, I broke all my PRs from 100m to the mile in the process!
This bootcamp restored my confidence! I still have it and I can do it!
I have my mojo back!
Oh yes, and I am running like the wind…”

Hi, we’re the team at RunnersConnect
Here’s how we can help you
We’ve been coaching runners since 2009, one of the first companies to actually start “online coaching for runners”.
For many years, we mainly focused on helping runners train for races. However, over the years, we’ve learned two important things…
Many runners don’t always want to be training for a race and need help in that time between
And there are many of you who don’t even have races as a goal – you just want to enjoy running more and improve.
So, over the past few years, we’ve applied a lot about what we’ve learned works and doesn’t work when training for races and adapted it to runners who aren’t training for races.
What started as a platform geared towards runners training for races has become one of the most unique ways for runners to target their training and have more fun while being guided by an expert plan and coaches.
Now, we’re ready to help you become a fitter, more knowledgeable runner and make training as fun as it has ever been

Still Have Questions?
We’ll do our best to answer them here, but feel free to email support@runnersconnect.net if you have any questions not covered here.
No, no gym is needed. All strength, stretching and accessory work can be done at your home. We do have gym options for those that have one and want to use one, but it is not required.
The running schedule and strength workouts are delivered via our training app, which allows our coaches and you to track your progress and import/export to your favorite tracking devices. You can watch a video below about how this works.
Most likely yes. Our plans are custom, so we can work around any needs you may have. We’ve worked with athletes in 80 different countries and people from just starting out to Boston qualifiers. We also have worked with runners as old as 77.
Our coach-guided bootcamps function like a class, so you can start anytime between now and when enrollment ends.
Once you signup you’ll receive instructions for how to access everything and start the interview process so our coaches can write your custom plan. It usually takes us about 24 hours to write your plan.
That’s okay as long as your race isn’t within the next 10-12 weeks.
The bootcamp is designed to work on a specific part of training outside of race specific workouts, so you’ll get the most value if you don’t have another race soon.
That said, if you want to join for the community and still want a schedule for your race, we can accommodate that.
We offer two types of bootcamp levels to better fit your budget and coaching needs.
Simple speaking, coach-guided bootcamps also include coaching.
This means you’ll get daily feedback on your workouts and our coaches will more closely monitor your training.
Our self-guided bootcamps do not include daily coaching, but you can still ask questions when you have them.
This allows us to make the self-guided bootcamps cheaper.
Our bootcamps are divided into two types: coach-guided and self-guided.
Coach-guided bootcamps are equivalent to our Guidance membership and thus, they are free to join for Guidance members.
Self-guided bootcamps are the same membership level as our Training membership. Therefore, if you are a training member, it’s free to join any self-guided bootcamp.
The bootcamps are included and there is no additional fee.
If you’d like to join a Coach-Guided bootcamp for the 6 weeks, we can upgrade your membership and we’ll prorate your amount based on the monthly membership price.
Feel free to reach out to support@runnersconnect.net if you have any questions.
We understand that our live zoom calls won’t always work for you. However, we will take questions beforehand and have recordings of each meetup so you can watch whenever you have time.
We use our team of expert coaches to help answer your questions, adjust your training, and keep you accountable.
You can ask questions in our private stream, post questions when you log your workouts, and interact with us during the live zoom calls.
You can also request feedback on any run or workout, even if you don’t have questions.
We get it, training rarely ever goes to plan. If you miss a day or need an adjustment our coaches are here to help realign your plan.
Plus, your schedule will constantly adapt your training to your progress. If we notice that you’re having an easy time with all of the workouts we prescribe, we’ll speed things up to ensure you’re challenged appropriately. If you’re struggling or you have an injury pop up – we’ll back off and get your training on the right track.
This focused training bootcamp is designed to function like a small group class. Therefore, we want everyone to be pretty much on the same timeline.
If you’re really interested but not able to start one of theses sessions, drop us a line at support@runnersconnect.net and let us know.
