Does Coach Nick Hunt offer online running coaching in Indiana?
Yes. I offer personal running coaching for middle school and high school distance runners anywhere in Indiana. Athletes get a personalized training plan updated in Final Surge, texts and phone calls as needed, workout check-ins through Final Surge uploads, and meet planning and support through the indoor and outdoor track seasons.
How much does running coaching cost for a middle school or high school runner?
Personal coaching is $150 per month for the first 10 athletes who sign up (founding rate). After those spots fill, the rate is $200 per month. Coaching is month to month and you can cancel anytime. Meet entry fees are paid separately.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No. Coaching is billed month to month and families can cancel anytime.
What does the coaching year look like?
Indoor track runs December through March, outdoor track runs March through June, and then training shifts to summer base building and the cross country season.
Can high school runners on a school team still work with Coach Hunt?
Yes. If the school has a coach, Coach Hunt works alongside them where it makes sense to help make sure the runner gets the right training and support. If there is not much coaching at school, Coach Hunt provides the training plan.
What is Final Surge?
Final Surge is a free training app and website where your personalized plan lives. I post and update workouts there, and athletes log their runs and leave comments so the plan can be adjusted.
Can you help my runner qualify for New Balance or Nike Indoor Nationals?
Yes. Coach Hunt sets a realistic target, builds a winter plan that peaks on time, and schedules official meets in January and February to chase the standard before registration deadlines. See the indoor nationals guide for dates and standards.
When does indoor track season start in Indiana?
Indoor training starts in December and most indoor meets for youth and high school runners run from January through early March, before the spring high school track season begins.
Can my runner compete in indoor track if their school does not have an indoor team?
Yes. Runners can train with a remote plan and race open and youth indoor meets through a club. I help families choose which meets to enter and when to race.
What should a middle school runner do between cross country and track season?
Take a short break after cross country, then rebuild with consistent easy running and a little faster work through the winter. An indoor season with a few well-chosen meets keeps runners motivated and gives them a head start on spring track.
Who does Coach Nick Hunt coach?
Middle school and high school distance runners, from first-year runners to athletes chasing state-level and national-level goals. I'm the head coach of Lapel Middle School Cross Country and the founder of Indiana MS Distance Collective.
