Other details, FAQ’s…
What exactly is the service again?
This is the application to be a selected runner for the BE Ultra Coaching Program. We built the program to serve as one of the best ways to be held accountable, and get high level coaching for your running goals. There is no cutter cutter programming here. Our coaching is all customized to the individual, your goals, your timelines.
What is unique about BE Ultra BAC Coaching?
There is a community built in to the coaching, Team BU. Other runners with similar goals will be bouncing ideas around and supporting each other from all angles.
Who will be my coach?
The founder of Becoming Ultra and longtime coach, Scott Jones, will be your coach. Getting the most out of our athletes/runners and the experience with the media necessary to make this work makes this program possible.
About Scott: He has probably done more V02 max tests on athletes than any podcaster in history and is still proud to be in the industry he loves and studied for at Marshall University over 16 years ago with his M.S. in exercise science.
Have questions? Email him at becomingultra@gmail.com
How long does the service last?
We ask first time clients to commit to at least 4 months. It’s not set in stone but it makes a lot of sense. We would love if you were training for something in the next year or for one of our meetup events but it isn’t necessary.
Do I get a running and training program to follow?
Yes you do. A customized and liquid plan that takes into account that life is happening. We don’t do cookie cutter. Most good coaches don’t.
Who shouldn’t apply?
This is going to push you outside your comfort zone physically and mentally. If you aren’t comfortable trying new things and being bold, we doubt this is for you.
Okay, I am ready to do this, what now?
Well, you do have to apply for the program. Once you do so, we will be in touch as soon as possible. All the info you need is on the application!
Before you apply to our coaching services
MUST READ
You realize that you are applying for a coaching service and if chosen will need to go through the checkout process to pay for the service. Basically, this is full service coaching with a wrinkle of added accountability!
We have found that the accountability of the original Becoming Ultra project is the "special sauce". Tapping into community and still getting high level coaching is the main concept.
This is a first come first serve program. Applying does not guarantee acceptance into the program although we usually note if coaches are not taking clients at any given time. You will have to register for the service if chosen.
You understand that you'll be signing a release for full access to the training and coaching sessions.
We are happy to take general running clients for this program and hopefully you can train for one of the organized events through the project. It really doesn't matter but we love to be able to see our runners in person!
You accept to be coached by Becoming Ultra lead coach Scott Jones or Lindsay LaForce. He has his M.S. in exercise science and is coaching athletes from all over to reach their goals. She is a PT and certified run coach who has worked with and treated endurance athletes for most of her career. Learn more about them here. You can listen to them on the podcast as well!
Once you have applied, we will let you know within a week as long as we don't have any other major questions!
The pricing for this program is currently $225/month for Scott and $175/month for Lindsay. They will be going up in June in 2023. The pricing includes access to Team BU which is an awesome community we have created for extra accountability.
