Running coaching intake that captures training goals up front
Ask whether the goal is a specific race, general fitness, or a return to running, capture experience level and preferred session format, and collect a recent training log before the intro session gets booked.
The exact intake your running coaching leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Running Coaching — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified running coaching lead should tell you
One-on-one or group coaching to help runners build pace, endurance, and race readiness, with the intake needing to establish who the coaching is for, their goal, and current experience level before a session gets booked.
- This Coaching
- Main Goal Coaching
- Current Running Experience Level
- Prefer In-Person, Virtual, Or
- Soon Would Like Coaching
- Person Who Will Decide
The questions your team needs answered
Every running coaching intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Who is this coaching for? | Distinguishes individual runners from parents, team managers, or employers booking on behalf of others, which changes both the intake path and the pricing conversation. |
| What is the main goal of the coaching? | Carries the heaviest scoring weight of any answer, since race-preparation goals signal the most committed and time-sensitive leads. |
| What is your current running experience level? | Lets a coach prepare the right session plan and flags when a group inquiry has mixed experience levels that need extra coordination. |
| Do you prefer in-person, virtual, or hybrid coaching sessions? | Determines whether the lead needs a local in-person time slot or can be served through a remote coaching calendar. |
| How soon would you like coaching to begin? | An 'Immediately' answer carries the highest weight and separates leads ready to book now from those still comparing coaches. |
| Are you the person who will decide on and schedule the coaching? | Flags whether the person completing the form can actually authorize and schedule the coaching, which matters most for parents or team submissions. |

Built for running coaching workflows
| Cliont capability | Running Coaching application |
|---|---|
| Automatic lead scoring | Weighs the running goal answer so race-preparation leads score higher than general fitness or 'not sure yet' inquiries, and combines it with start-timing to rank leads by readiness. |
| Answer-based routing | Routes leads who select 'A team' or 'Employees' differently from individual 'Myself' bookings, so group inquiries reach the right coach or program without manual sorting. |
| Decision-maker flag | Surfaces the yes/no answer on whether the form-filler will actually schedule the coaching, which matters most when 'My child' is selected as who the coaching is for. |
| Session-format capture | Uses the in-person, virtual, or hybrid preference to pre-sort leads for a local coach's calendar versus a remote coaching roster before the intro session is booked. |
| Document collection | Requests a recent race result or training log up front so the coach can review current fitness level before the first conversation instead of asking for it on the call. |
Common running coaching lead scenarios
Marathon buildup, ready now
Runner selects race preparation as the goal and immediately as the start timing, both high-weight answers, so the lead lands as high priority for a coach to call today.
Parent booking for their teen
The intake flags 'My child' as who the coaching is for and 'No' on the decision-maker question, prompting the coach to confirm scheduling authority before locking an intro session.
Employer inquiring for a running team
When the answer is 'Employees' or 'A team' with mixed experience levels, the coach sees a group-format lead that needs a different session structure than an individual runner.
Comeback runner after a break
Someone returning to running after time off selects beginner experience and 'within a month' timing, giving the coach context to plan a gradual reintroduction rather than a race-pace program.
Just browsing, not sure yet
A lead who picks 'Not sure yet' for goal and 'Just exploring options' for timing still gets captured and scored, but lands lower in priority than a runner ready to commit.

Running Coaching lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake handle group or team running inquiries?
When someone selects 'A team' or 'Employees' for who the coaching is for, and picks 'Mixed levels' for experience, the lead is flagged as a group inquiry rather than an individual booking, so the coach can respond with group pricing or format details instead of a single-runner session.
Does a race-specific goal get prioritized over general fitness?
Yes. 'Preparing for a specific race' carries the highest weight of the goal options, so those leads tend to score higher and surface as more urgent than someone training for general fitness or exploring options.
Can a parent submit the intake on behalf of their child?
Yes, the intake includes 'My child' as an option for who the coaching is for, paired with a yes/no question on whether the person filling out the form is the one who will actually schedule and decide, so the coach knows if a follow-up call is needed to confirm.
How does the intake capture in-person versus virtual preference?
The intake asks directly whether the runner prefers in-person, virtual, hybrid, or has no preference, which lets you route leads to the right calendar or coach roster without a back-and-forth email.
What happens to leads who say they're 'just exploring options'?
Those leads still get captured and scored, but the start-timing answer carries less weight than 'Immediately' or 'Within a month', so they land as a lower-priority follow-up instead of a same-day call.
Is this intake different from the one for sport-specific conditioning?
Yes. This form asks about running goal, experience level, and session format specific to running programs, whereas the sport-specific conditioning intake is built around a different set of qualifying questions for that subservice.
