FAQ

Who is Run Squad for?

  • Busy runners chasing big fall marathon goals — whether it’s your first or your fastest. If you want structure, coaching, and results (without 50-mile weeks or burnout), you’re in the right place.


What races does this support?

  • Any October-December 2025 marathon. From Chicago to Lisbon, we’ve got you covered. We recommend you join at least 9 weeks out from your race — the earlier, the better.


Do I really need a $99 run plan?

  • We believe that your biggest goals deserve the best possible support. Run Squad gives you the complete package: a world-class training plan, personal coach support, smart fueling guidance, video-led workouts, and the motivation of a team. All in one place. No guesswork. No burnout. Just results. It’s the most economical, hassle-free way to get everything you need to succeed.


What’s different about Run Squad?

  • Thousands of athletes have seen real results. Here’s why: Our training plan is built for real life, with pre-prioritized sessions that make it easy to adapt around your schedule. We combine smart marathon-specific running sessions with integrated strength and cross-training to boost fitness without the wear and tear of high mileage. But it’s more than just a plan: You’ll get at least three video-led sessions per week, personalized coach support, targeted education, and ongoing motivation and inspiration through our community Hub.

    It’s complete performance training: custom-fit to your needs, backed by expert coaching, and designed to help you race strong, healthy, and confident.


What do I need to use the program?

  • A good pair of running shoes! Ideally, you’ll also have access to a bike (outdoor or indoor). For strength: resistance bands and a kettlebell or dumbbells are great. However, we can easily help you adapt the training to your available environment and equipment.


What happens after I sign up?

  • You’ll get your Trainingpeaks Premium account with training loaded in, along with access to our Purple Patch Hub app and video coaching platform. You’ll also have a one-on-one onboarding call with a coach to help you get set up. Our team will guide you every step of the way.
