Why choose DDR?

We are a premium coaching service that gets results.  As our name and mission states, Distance Driven Racing wants to help our athletes grow and push their limits.  Our focus is writing quality training and providing clear communication in order to show our athletes the joys of racing and improving.  We typically train athletes from 800 meters through the Marathon, and are looking to help our athletes lower their personal bests on the track and the roads! 

While Distance Driven Racing is currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we are happy to coach runners across the United States. Check out our testimonials!

*Our expectations for our athletes are very simple: bring a positive attitude to the table, work hard, and communicate with your coach*

We are currently coaching athletes from the following MN clubs: Mill City Running & Twin Cities Track Club

 What you can expect

Our coaches have over 10 years of experience in running, between their high school, collegiate, and post collegiate careers.  This means we have been put through the ringer of difficult training blocks and understand what it takes to be a dedicated runner.  Having a coach who has run similar workouts that are being prescribed, gives insight into how our athletes will react to different sessions.

Our coaches at DDR currently are writing their training plans in Final Surge.  This allows both our athletes and coaches to see a mutual document that is individualized for that particular athlete.  Our coaching staff typically writes training cycles in 2-3 week segments.  This gives the athlete an idea of what they can expect, while leaving enough time for our coaches to adjust their training based on the feedback from their athlete.  A weekly email is sent out to each athlete outlining the purpose of the workouts for the week and making sure that they fit into the athlete’s schedule.
