Looking for a Running Coach
I would like to start running for fitness and weight loss, but seem unable to get myself into the groove on my own. I am not and have never been a runner -- I've tried the "Couch-to-5K" program a few times, but never finished it. I am thinking that a personal trainer/running coach would be a big help... someone who can coach me through challenges, help me set and achieve goals, and make sure I have good form and a sustainable program. I would be starting at a very basic level; I'm not sure I could even run 1/4 mile right now! If interested, please contact me directly. Thanks!

I haven't worked with a coach but have found that getting accountability really helps. I joined beginnertriathete.com and joined challenge groups. I joined Fb groups full of others tryign to achieve a fitness goal. Seeing others report on their daily goal being completed helps t get me off the couch.
I am not a running coach, but am also a mom who would be interested in doing something like this. Would you be interested in doing something together and hopefully splitting the trainer fees? One issue is that I am currently pregnant with baby #2 (due in May) and was hoping to start working out during my maternity leave, maybe sometime around late June or in July.
Also, in case it's helpful, I had been looking at this: http://www.irun365.org/ But note that the Yelp reviews for it were not good....
