What You'll Learn
Here's Just Some of What You'll Learn
The Problem
You rest the injury, it feels better, you run, it comes right back. You've started to think it's permanent.
The Approach
How to load an injured tissue back to full strength instead of resting it, and bridge yourself from "cleared" back to the training you love.
The Problem
You keep breaking down every time you try to add mileage, and you aren't quite sure what to do when it comes to strength training.
The Approach
The two-day-a-week strength work, dosed for a runner, that gives your body the buffer it needs to handle everything you ask of it — and helps make you faster along the way.
The Problem
You're just training the same way everybody else is, and you don't seem to be making the same level of progress.
The Approach
Learn to train in a way that actually serves you and your body, instead of a generic plan built for someone else's fiber type and schedule.

About Will Frantz
I'm Will Frantz, and I help runners over 35 get out of pain and get faster without grinding themselves into the ground.
I've been a coach for 7 years, running-focused for the last 5. I'm a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA, a certified personal trainer, and I've spent years studying a lot of the stuff most coaches don't bother with: tendon rehab, plyometrics, running mechanics, and a bunch of other things that nobody really wants to hear about.
But what has that led to for the people I've coached? I've helped people finish 100-mile mountain races, even when they'd never run farther than a 50k. I've taken a runner from a tibial stress fracture to a sub-90 half and a Boston PR in a single year. I've had a guy come to me barely able to pick his own sunglasses off the floor because of a herniated disc, and a few months later he pulled a 400-pound trap-bar deadlift, a multi-decade personal record. Helping people train through injuries and improve their performance is what I love to do.
Now here's the more important part. I'm not selling you a magic story. I'm not a former professional athlete for whom these things always came easy. I was a kid who couldn't really breathe until I got a pretty extensive nasal surgery at 19. After that, I got in shape and lost a bunch of weight, but it wasn't in a way I'd actually recommend to anybody. I likely had an undiagnosed eating disorder, and that combination of overwork and underfueling would carry me through most of my twenties — a decade where I collected a pretty good batch of soft-tissue injuries, some of which still affect me to this day. I didn't figure out how to train properly until I was in my early 30s, already pursuing fitness as my career. Now I'm 37 and arguably stronger and faster than I've ever been.
And there wasn't any secret to it. I learned how to train well in ways that I both enjoy and that work for my body. Then I did it consistently for years. That's it. And I apply the same principles to all the people I coach.
"Most injuries are very treatable, and results come from simple, consistent work, not the flashy stuff the industry sells you."
The Runner's Tendon Triage Guide
The exact first-move loading protocol Will uses for the three injuries he sees most in runners — plantar fasciitis, Achilles and patellar tendon issues, and classic overuse aches. A smart, safe place to start on your own tissue this week instead of resting and hoping.
