How to choose

Runners love logs and plans they can print and tick off. Keep plans conservative and general; personalized training is what clients pay for.

Whichever idea you pick, keep it to one problem, make it short enough to finish in one sitting, and end with a clear next step toward your paid offer. See also how long a lead magnet should be and what an opt-in page needs.

Common follow-up questions

Should I include pace targets?

Keep them general, like effort levels, since paces vary by runner.

Do runners prefer apps?

Many do, but a printable plan is still popular as a freebie.

How long should a lead magnet for running coaches be?

Short enough to use in one sitting: a one-page checklist or worksheet, or a short guide of roughly 5–15 pages.
