MAAM MEMBER PROFILE

Before this year, I was unmotivated to exercise alone, and never knew the value of a “running partner”. When I discovered MAAM’s Virtual Coach I couldn’t believe how inspired I became to work out. Every week I could “speak” to my coach online and get the encouragement and training advice I needed. Before I knew it, I met lots of women who lived close by who I now meet up with regularly!

Personalized Online Training Program

Virtual Coach

MAAM’s Virtual Coach offers convenient, interactive training programs designed just for mothers.

MAAM recognizes that the same running program doesn’t work for everyone: what motivates one person does not necessarily motivate another.

MAAM also realizes that mothers need extra support, flexibility and realistic training parameters that typical programs don’t offer.

So we take a basic mileage table and add features to be used at will. For example, a mother who likes routine can follow a simple mileage plan and run her preferred route every day; another who thrives on variety will savor  “adventure” runs and “daily insights”; a detail–oriented mom can log unlimited training notes, request pace suggestions and step up miles in decimals!!

The Virtual Coach has 4 main components: the running program (presented one week at a time), daily insights (to provide continual inspiration and learning), a running log (with a live coach to monitor your training), and a calendar (detailing group sessions, special events and announcements).
