The problem
Does this sound familiar:
❌You’re cobbling together training plans from YouTube, Instagram, and Reddit but nothing feels right for you
❌You love running, but you’re not sure if you’re doing it correctly (and you’re worried about getting injured)
❌You’ve tried free training plans, but they don’t account for your life, your body, or your goals
❌You’re tired of second-guessing every run: “Should I go harder? Should I rest? Why does my knee hurt?”
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need more information. You need the right information - customized to YOU - and someone to help you make sense of it all.
That’s exactly what Start Line Lab give you.

frequently asked questions about
group running coaching
I’m a beginner runner. Is this for me?
Absolutely.
Start Line Lab is designed to meet you where you are, whether you’re brand new to running or training for your 10th race.
Your training plan will be customized to YOUR fitness level. That means:
Beginners won’t be overwhelmed
Experienced runners won’t be bored
Everyone gets a plan that challenged them appropriately
Can I make adjustments to my training schedule during the program?
Yes!
Life happens. Work gets busy. Kids get sick. Your body needs rest.
Your training plan is a guide, not a prison sentence.
If you need to move a workout, skip a day, or adjust the volume, we’ll make it work. You’ll have direct access to me throughout the program to make changes as needed.
The whole point is to create a sustainable training approach, not to stress you out.
Is there a refund policy?
Due to the personalized nature of the program (custom training plans + small cohort size), all sales are final once enrollment closes.
However, if something comes up and you need to withdraw before the program starts (March 3, 2026), we can discuss options on a case-by-case basis.
How is this different from 1:1 coaching?
Start Line Lab
1:1 Coaching
Start Line Lab is the perfect “trial run” for coaching. If you love it and want more personalized support, you can always transition to 1:1 coaching after the program ends.
meet your running coach
Hi, I’m Mireille!
I’m a USATF Level 1 certified running coach, 80/20 Endurance certified, and AIP Certified Coach - and I’ve completed 14 marathons while managing lupus.
I know what it’s like to love running but feel uncertain about whether your body can handle it.
I know what it’s like to piece together training advice from the internet and hope it works.
I know what it’s like to wonder” “Am I doing this right? Am I going to get injured? Should I push harder or rest more?
That’s why I create Start Line Lab
I wanted to give runners - whether you’re brand new or experienced - a way to experience what real coaching feels like without committing to a long-term program.
I wanted to create a space where you could:
Learn the why behind training (not just follow a plan blindly)
Get personalized support (not cookie-cutter advice)
Build confidence in your body and your training
Because running should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
And with the right guidance, it can.
I also work with autoimmune athletes through my AIP coaching program, helping them manage symptoms while staying active.
