Running coach in Villars-sur-Ollon
Villars sits on a terrace above the Rhône valley looking straight across at the Dents du Midi, which is the view people remember long after the skiing. The slopes are gentler than Verbier's and considerably more forgiving, which makes it the better choice for a first week on skis, for children, and for anyone rebuilding confidence after a bad fall.
It works year round rather than seasonally. In summer the same terrain becomes hiking and climbing country, and the altitude golf course is one of the highest in Europe. Families make up most of what we arrange here, and the sessions are usually planned around two very different levels in one group.
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.
