The job of a running coach requires a lot of willpower, motivation, and training. It is essential to obtain a professional sports educator card to become a running coach or a sports coach. To obtain this card, several courses are possible, such as the federal track of the French Athletics Federation (FTA), the university track (DEUG Staps, License Staps, Master Staps, and pro License Staps), and the track of the sports educator state diploma (BPJEPS, DESJEPS, or DEJEPS specialty educator or sports improvement, mention athletics or associated disciplines). After their studies, a future running coach can also choose the specialty of jogging. A jogging coach must possess several competencies and qualities to ensure coaching and tailored training to the jogger's needs. They must analyze the training done with software or an application, determine the client's capabilities, and suggest customized training plans for the client to progress. A jogging coach must also know the potential physical weakness and how to motivate the runner. Availability, attention to detail, and listening skills are also essential qualities in this profession.

The running coach can create a running program for adults, seniors, and children. His sessions are based on endurance exercises, accelerations, and breathing techniques. He can train his clients to jog, do fast walking, marathons, trail running, and sprints. Typically, he can help a jogger run several kilometers per week at a slow pace. He can also help an athlete prepare for championships and maintain their fitness level. He can assist a beginner runner to lose weight, start running, and regain their fitness. He can organize jogging sessions in various locations, whether it is running outdoors (in the forest, on the athletics track, off-road, on the pavement...) or running on a treadmill. His classes can take place every day, especially on weekends, and are aimed at beginner runners, experienced runners, and high-level athletes. Depending on their progress, he can increase the intensity of his training sessions and plan recovery periods to obtain the benefits of running. The jogging coach can also give advice and suggest a personalized diet plan and training program. He is willing to provide distance coaching using more advanced training methods (Trail Connect, Runkeeper, Garmin, Training peaks...). Cardio, fitness, weightlifting, and jumping rope are often combined with a jogging session.

In order to go jogging, run quickly, and improve endurance, it is preferable to be coached by a running coach. They combine expertise and experience to provide a training program tailored to the client's needs and to effectively achieve their athletic goal. The presence of a jogging coach also allows the runner to reap the benefits of running (overall health, well-being, weight loss, muscle strengthening, increased endurance, etc.). They know how to run at a moderate pace and can show the runner how to run, techniques for breathing, warm-up, and physical resistance. They can also help improve speed and maintain regular running habits. In addition, they can adapt their running session based on the client's ability (development of VMA, working on running pace, sprints, etc.), physical condition, and availability. They can guarantee customized and personalized support.

Whether it's participating in running races (long distance, middle distance, half marathon, crossfit...), restarting running or simply learning to run, a jogging coach can provide guidance. From the warm-up phase to physical preparation, including stretching, it's necessary to rely on a jogging coach to make rapid progress. Their intervention is also essential for improving personal records, losing weight, working on endurance, preparing for a race or sports competition (Olympic games, marathons, triathlons...) and avoiding injuries (muscle soreness, fractures, sprains...). They can provide daily support and guidance to obtain the benefits of running.
