Training Team

After years of running with the top companies and coaches, Coach Kelly saw a need for a community and running plans developed for busy, everyday runners.

​Running and training can be overwhelming. We aim to take the guesswork out of training and provide you with 6 weekly coaching calls where you can ask questions, learn with your teammates, and connect with Coach Kelly multiple times LIVE every single week.

No other training team or coach provides the opportunity to connect on a call 6 times a week.

You don’t have to be at a certain level to join the team. It is and always will be for everyone no matter where you’re at.  

Get a team of badass ladies in your corner! Join our Training Team and be part of the most supportive, inclusive, and badass team of women runners around. Together we’ll chase our personal bests and have way too much fun doing it. 

never train alone again.

    Read more about their stories and experience here.

  • We totally understand! We never want the Badass Lady Gang to be totally out of reach for any women who wants to join. Each year, we offer two 5K training experiences for free and we have a free 5K running plan.

    Additionally, BALG Community is totally free to join! This is our main form of communication as it’s safer and more private than normal social media platforms. Coach Kelly herself manually approves each new member, and once you’re in, you’ll be able to connect with hundreds of women. You can join at balgcommunity.com.

    On top of that, we ALSO have chapters around the country that meet-up weekly and are run by volunteer leaders. If you’re near one, you just need to reach out to them on IG and then show up to a meeting. Meet-ups are designed to be inclusive to all speeds and strengths - you’ll never be alone.

  • While we do not have scholarships available, we do offer ambassador opportunities throughout the year. If you’re interested in storytelling and sharing your training experience with the BALG on social media, keep your eyes on our social media handles for our ambassador application!

  • Final Surge is the platform we use to house our running plans. It is available in an app or on desktop at FinalSurge.com.

  • Our job as coaches is to do everything we can to keep our athletes strong and healthy. Strength training and prehab are important components of any running routine but even when you do everything you can, injuries happen. We are unable to offer refunds or exchanges but all running plans will remain in your V.O2 account for you to use and reuse.

  • Yes! We know that some athletes like a hard copy of their training plan.

    Check out this article to learn how you can print your running plan: https://support.finalsurge.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500001147621-Printing-Training-Plan-Workouts

  • Your running plan will live in your Final Surge account after you officially finish your plan. To re-use it, you can manually drag workouts (it’s easiest to do this on a Desktop), or, you can print a PDF version of your running plan in Final Surge for future use.

    Unfortunately, team BALG will not restart running plans for athletes to reuse after their running plan finishes.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot access your running plans on Final Surge if you are not a member of our BALG Training Team.

RUNNING PLANS

As a member of the team, you get access to all of our running plans. From base building plans and get stronger and faster mile plans to 5K, 10K, 10-mile, 15K, Half-Marathon, or Marathon plans, we’re here to help you build strength, confidence, and have more fun on the run! Our team members unlock access to Running Plans for all types of runners, from first-timers to marathoners — and everyone in between. 

Our Running Plans live on Final Surge, a training app that takes the guesswork out of training. Inside Final Surge, you’ll see your proper training paces while keeping you motivated with feedback to feed your strength and stamina. (Have a Garmin or Apple watch? Your workouts will sync with your watch so all you have to do is press start!) But you don’t need a fancy watch to enjoy Final Surge! All of our running plans come with Strength x Yoga videos from Coach Amanda to round out your training, prevent injuries, and help you have more fun on the run!

We recommend joining the team 1-2 weeks before you need your running plan to begin to have enough time to get your plan set up and customized to meet you where you are. Check out our 8, 12, and 16-week running plan guides below to help you find out when training officially begins.

Training Experiences

As a member of our training team, you get automatic entry into all of our training experiences throughout the year.

Our Training Experiences range from 5-12 weeks, tackling different distances and goals from 5 weeks to Get Stronger & Faster to 12-week Half Marathon Training Experiences.

Our training experiences have a dedicated weekly coaching call where our athletes can connect and lean on for support. It’s the perfect way to get the most of the team while training for the same goal.
