What People Are Saying

“I started running a few years ago to improve my health and fitness. I soon found many benefits from running, but I didn’t enjoy the running part of it. Now, through the Mojo for Running program and the podcasts I am really REALLY enjoying being a runner! I believe learning how to run properly, with Debbie’s coaching, has made all the difference.

— Carrie Gagne

“I started running earlier this year using a Couch to 5k app. After just one training session, I was AMAZED to find out that I LOVE running. But I knew little about it. In a Google search for advice on running, I found Debbie Voiles. Coach Deb offers a great program for anyone who wants to become a runner. No age is too old, no body shape is too large, no one is too out of shape. — Beth Kauffman

“I first met Debbie Voiles at this marathon [San Francisco Marathon]. She appeared at the Run Tampa dinner that evening after having fallen at mile 17, gotten up and finished the race with a broken arm, and then gone to ER. Yet there she was at dinner being her charming self. I thought ‘I want to learn to run from THIS woman!’ ” — Kristen Antona

“Coach Deb knows what she is talking about--- if you are a beginning runner sign up for her beginning runner schedule-- you will feel confident that you can succeed--- it will give the overweight or older person who desires to be a runner a schedule that will give confidence of how to start with a plan that will get you there with more confidence of not being sidelined by injury.” — Thomas Marino

Three Sets of Schedules

10 weeks of Conditioning Schedules
12 weeks of Walk to Run Schedules
12 weeks of First 5k Schedules

Diagnostic Test

The diagnostic test determines the appropriate starting point for you. Many will not need to start at Week 1 of the Conditioning Schedules. In fact, some will start well into the second set of schedules. The diagnostic test is just one way of customizing training.

The other way: You to stick with each week until it is no longer challenging. That’s when it’s time to move on. This way, you always look forward to workouts and feel happy and accomplished each time you finish.
