That’s why my approach blends individualized run programming with strength, movement quality, recovery, and injury prevention. With backgrounds in both coaching and counseling, I help athletes build awareness, durability, and sustainable habits so progress can compound for years, not just one race cycle. ## Packages and prices - **60-minute private lesson**: 1 prepaid 60-minute lesson for $75.00 ($75.00 per lesson). One hour of one-on-one running built around your goals. ## Where lessons happen - Online lessons ## Weekly hours - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ## Cancellation policy - Cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours before a lesson. The coach charges no fee for a late cancellation or a no-show. ## Reviews > The plan had real structure but flexed when life got stressful. Some of my favorite memories were suffering through tempo Thursdays together with my coach. He pushed me out of my comfort zone while keeping it human the whole way. Id recommend him to literally anyone, from total beginners to established runners. His method is perfect. > From Julian, 5 out of 5 > I used to psych myself out about everything from cramping, fueling, and whether I could hold pace. But Dami was so confident in his method, and explained it so clearly, that the anxiety just melted away. He kept me healthy, helped me actually understand why we trained the way we did, and it made me feel unstoppable on race day. > From Zoe, 5 out of 5 > What I needed was a plan I could trust and someone holding me to it & thats exactly what I got. Dami’s coaching is calm, supportive, and flexible enough to fit around real life, and the weekly plans with consistent touch-based kept me moving forward. I’m a far more confident racer now. > From Keri, 5 out of 5 > In under 3 months, Dami changed how I train. The structure was clear, the accountability kept me honest, and the regular check-ins meant I never felt like I was figuring it out alone. I came out the other side a much more confident runner. > From Marc, 5 out of 5 > Dami really helped me understand the process of becoming a better runner. > From Marlene, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/dami-alao/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/dami-alao/services/index.md) - [Running Training Sessions](https://sites.coach/dami-alao/training/index.md) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/dami-alao/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Dami Alao sells Running lessons on this site.
