Biel/Bienne

Running coach in Biel/Bienne

Biel is the only Swiss town where French and German are genuinely used interchangeably in the same conversation, and that extends to coaching: most of our coaches here switch mid-sentence without thinking about it. If you want to train in one language and are used to being pushed into the other, this is the easiest place in Switzerland to get what you asked for.

The lake is small and warm, the Jura rises immediately behind the town, and the flat Seeland stretches north. Three completely different training surfaces within ten minutes of the station.

Running

What an hour of running coaching actually covers

Usually one of three things. Form — cadence, foot strike, what your arms are doing on a hill. Pacing — most recreational runners run every session at the same uncomfortable middle speed, and fixing that alone changes results. Or race preparation, where the session is built backwards from a date you have in the calendar.

Hills are not optional here

This is not flat country. Any route from the lake goes up, which means hill technique matters more here than it does for someone training in Amsterdam. It also means your coach will likely take you somewhere with a gradient whether or not you asked.

Common questions

I am slow. Will I be able to keep up?

Your coach runs at your pace, not theirs. A coaching session is not a training run with someone fitter than you.

Do you write training plans?

A session can end with a plan for the next few weeks, and many do. Say when you book that this is what you want so your coach builds the hour around it.

What if it rains?

We run. If conditions are genuinely dangerous — ice, storm — your coach will contact you and we move the session at no cost.

Can I book with a friend?

Yes, if you run at roughly similar paces. Choose the 90-minute session so there is time for both of you.
