Online running coach in Detroit
Train with confidence for Michigan's biggest races. Whether you're training for the Detroit Free Press Marathon or just want to run stronger through Belle Isle or the Riverwalk, BeFit provides personalized online coaching that meets your needs. With Michigan’s shifting seasons and unique race routes, we tailor your training with strength workouts, recovery tools, and pacing strategies designed for Detroit runners. From downtown to Ann Arbor, our coaching adapts to your lifestyle and goals all from your phone.
Our plans provide comprehensive training designed to help you run joyfully without feeling overwhelmed.
Strength
Running well starts with moving well. Our weekly strength workouts help stabilize your joints, improve posture, and boost performance — especially useful when preparing for long races like the Detroit Free Press Half or Full Marathon.
Mobility & Yoga
Recovery is key for consistency. Our training plans include mobility flows and yoga designed to offset the tightness from long winter runs and improve range of motion for better stride efficiency.
Technique
We help you refine the small details of posture, cadence, and breathwork with personalized feedback to reduce injury risk and improve endurance.
Strategy
We coach you through seasonal shifts in Michigan, helping you balance effort-based training and recovery. Whether you’re navigating icy sidewalks or summer heat, your plan adjusts with you.
