Last week I said something new was coming. Here it is: SmartRun.
For those who don’t know me, I’m Jean-Baptiste, co-founder of PaceMates and passionate about running for years.
This new adventure started with my own training. I wanted to understand how to train properly, reduce injury risk, make real progress, get the fundamentals right. So I read. A lot. Books like La Bible du Running and Daniels’ Running Formula became my foundation. Once I could apply what I learned to myself, I wanted to share it. I’ve always loved helping people, so helping them with their own journey was the natural next step.
I’ve been coaching quietly since December. 15 runners so far, different levels, different reasons, same method: we start with a VMA test done together in person, which sets your pace zones. From there every session has a purpose instead of just a distance. You get a plan built around your goal and your life, an app to follow it, and a call every two weeks to adjust.
Beginner in running or chasing a PB? There is a plan for you!
Same passion, new format. 🏃🏽
DM me if you want to talk about your next goal.
