Train Like You Mean It

Running Coach in Indianapolis & Online

Personalized Running Coaching to Help You Run Stronger, Faster, and Smarter.

Whether you’re training for your first 5K, preparing for a half marathon, or chasing a new marathon PR, you deserve a training plan built around you.

I’m Jon Wade, an RRCA Certified Running Coach based in Indianapolis, Indiana. I work with runners locally and online nationwide to build personalized training programs that fit their goals, experience, and everyday lives.

Meet Your Running Coach

Real Coaching. Real Experience. Real Progress.

I’m Jon Wade, an RRCA Certified Running Coach, distance runner, and someone who genuinely loves helping people become better runners.

I know what it’s like to train for a big goal, push through challenging workouts, balance running with everyday responsibilities, and experience the excitement of crossing a finish line knowing you’ve given it your best.

As the Official Training Coach for the Geist Half Marathon, I’ve had the opportunity to help runners prepare for one of the Indianapolis area’s signature running events.

My coaching philosophy is simple: training should challenge you, build your confidence, and help you improve without taking the fun out of running.

Whether you’re just getting started or have years of racing experience, I’ll help you train with purpose and make every mile count.

Why Work With a Running Coach?

Stop Guessing. Start Training With Purpose.

There is no shortage of running advice out there. But knowing what actually works for you can be a challenge.

Working with a running coach means having someone who understands your goals, helps you make sense of your training, and provides guidance when things don’t go according to plan.

With personalized running coaching, you’ll get:

Training Built Around You: Workouts that reflect your current fitness, experience, schedule, and goals.
Smarter Training: A balanced approach to easy runs, long runs, speed work, strength, and recovery.
Accountability & Support: A coach who follows your progress, answers questions, and helps you stay consistent.
Training That Adapts: Adjustments when life gets busy, workouts don’t go as planned, or your fitness improves.
Race-Day Confidence: Preparation and guidance to help you show up ready to give your best.

You bring the effort. I’ll help you make that effort count.
