Why Our Coaching Works — For Everyone
No matter your starting point, we meet you with a plan built around your goals. Our training method combines deep expertise with real communication and a hybrid-first mindset — so progress fits your life, not the other way around.
Coached Like a Pro, Backed by a Team
You're supported by a team of specialists — not just one coach. Like a pro athlete, you get expert input on pacing, form, mindset, and recovery — all personalized to you.
Training That Evolves With You
Life changes — and so does your plan. We adapt everything based on your goals, health, and schedule. Whether you're training for a race or coming back from injury, we meet you where you are.
Hybrid from Day One
In-person, remote, or a mix of both — our coaching system is designed to flex. You get structure, communication, and progress tracking, no matter where you train.
Built on Science, Tuned to You
We combine biomechanics, sport psychology, and physiology to guide every session. It's not guesswork — it's smart training made personal.

Founder Story
Natalia Generalova
Running Coach, Yoga Instructor, Founder of RunLikePro School
I've been running for over 25 years — from chasing my own personal bests to studying the science behind performance. Along the way, I earned a degree in sports science, coached in a professional running school, and helped develop national-level talent. But what truly inspired me was seeing everyday people transform through running.
That's why I started RunLikePro — a place where anyone, at any level, can train with purpose.
At RunLikePro, I focus on an individual, structured, and gradual approach. Whether you're here to build consistency, boost performance, or simply enjoy the process, I'm here to help you run smarter, stay healthy, and feel stronger — on and off the track.
