It wasn't great
It wasn't great. I cycled through 2 coaches, neither of which truly coached or improved my running plan.

I've used RunDoyen to train for a marathon
I've used RunDoyen to train for a number of different marathons. The coaches were all very knowledgeable and listened to any concerns I had. I always felt like I was ready to go when I got to the start line.
Response from RunDoyenFeb 22, 2026
Thank you for sticking with us across multiple marathon cycles, Thomas. Hearing that you felt listened to and prepared on race day means a lot. That is what strong communication and personalized marathon coaching should deliver.

Second season with Jurrie
Second season with Jurrie. I am running great injury free. I am 43 and going for PRs. I am very happy with the program.
Response from RunDoyenFeb 22, 2026
Love hearing this, Bryan. Running strong, staying healthy, and chasing PRs at 43 is a fantastic place to be.

The model is great but not all coaches are worth the cost
The model is great. I enjoyed the coaching from Mark and I really found a new level to my running when I worked with him, including running the Boston marathon! Unfortunately he retired and I was placed with a new coach, Sean. I ran a half marathon and PRd. However, in working with him, I ended up with a hamstring injury. It took months for him to acknowledge my comments about it, and even then, my runs were not adjusted in a way that I felt addressed the injury. After eight months, I completed a second race under Sean. He seemed disengaged with me, unlike my husband, who was also training under him. Despite paying for the top tier, I never received a race plan. Days after the race, I realized I had seriously reinjured my hamstring. While I don’t expect a coach to be medically trained, the lack of acknowledgment and the overall lack of engagement caused me to end my training with Sean. I have found a new running coach who was able work with me on my goals and with my injury, and I just PRd in Chicago last weekend.

Thanks for sharing your honest feedback, Brynn. I’m so glad to hear our coaches helped you achieve a Boston Qualifier and a new Half Marathon PR — that’s an incredible accomplishment! I’m sorry we fell short when it came to supporting you through your injury. You deserve better than that, and feedback like this helps our coaches learn and continue improving the athlete experience. If you ever decide to give us another shot, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask for Jordan, our owner. He’d be more than happy to personally ensure you’re matched with the right coach for your next race.

Game Changing
Working with Run Doyen and Coach TJ was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve ran 3 Boston Qualifying times since running with Run Doyen. I truly believe my running successes come from the running plan that sets me up to achieve my goal. I recommend it to anyone that wants to achieve running goals and chase excellence.
Response from RunDoyenFeb 22, 2026
Three Boston qualifying times is incredible, Andrew. That is a major accomplishment, and we are proud TJ and RunDoyen have been part of the process. Thanks for the recommendation and for sharing your experience.

Couch to first marathon!
Run Doyen was so great, I went from never running, to doing my first marathon. Simone Plourde is amazing, she was my coach for a year. I’ll definitely go back when I start training for another marathon.
Response from RunDoyenFeb 22, 2026
From never running to finishing your first marathon is such a huge achievement, Brittany. We are thrilled Simone got to coach you through that journey. Stories like this are exactly why we believe personalized online coaching can help runners at every level.
