3 Steps to Attract More Running Clients to Your Coaching Business This LinkedIn article was adapted from an article written by Phil White for TrainingPeaks. Read the original article here: https://lnkd.in/gxxakcgi Good news for endurance coaches: running race participation is on the rise according to a mid-year RunSignup report, showing an 8% increase in U.S. registrations from 2023. But what’s the secret to attracting these runners to your coaching business? It all starts with finding your niche. Let’s dive into three simple, effective steps to tap into the growing running market. 1st: Find Your Niche Don’t let the draw of being something for everyone cloud your vision. The needs of athletes, as well as the way you speak to them, vary dramatically from 5Kers to ultrarunners. Pick a distance that you resonate with and focus on targeting athletes (https://lnkd.in/gPaFVTBx) who participate in that distance. Having a specialty will make marketing your business much easier in the long run. 2nd: Create a Running Club Run clubs are on the rise, growing globally by 30% over the past five years according to a report by the International Association of Athletics Federation. Consider starting a weekly group run with some of your local athletes to test out the waters. Once you’ve figured out your favorite routes and are seeing consistent attendance, you can find partners in your local community (like gear shops or coffee bars) that will help you host larger events and grow your prospective client base. (https://lnkd.in/gbjbUx_X) 3rd: Nurture Your Relationships With Your Athletes Once you have a few running athletes, your top priority should be delivering them the best coaching experience possible. Enhancing the value you can offer your runners — through things like strength programming and consistent feedback — goes a long, long way. It might sound simple, but paying attention to nurturing current relationships will build loyalty, retention, and referrals much faster than if your focus is turned toward acquiring new clients. It’s the timeless tale of quality beating quantity — but in this case, quality precedes quantity! https://lnkd.in/gwtczCjh https://lnkd.in/gvrPa8J4 As always, TrainingPeaks is here to help support you and your coaching business.
