Running Coaches
Whether you're aiming for a first 5K or a sub-3 marathon, the right running coach builds smart weekly mileage, structured intervals, and injury-resistant strength. MojaFit lists certified running coaches across Kenya and South Africa.
MojaFit currently lists 3+ certified running coaches across Kenya and South Africa, available for in-person, online and asynchronous sessions.
Who running is for
First-time runners, people training for parkrun, 10K, half- and full-marathon goals, ultra-trail runners, returning-from-injury runners and recreational runners who want to drop time without breaking down.
What to expect
Most coaches start with a chat about your current weekly mileage, goal race, and any niggles. You'll get a 6-16 week programme with easy runs, intervals, long runs and strength. In-person sessions usually focus on form, hill technique and intervals.
How to choose the right coach
- Match the specialty exactly. Filter by running and read three or more recent reviews before booking.
- Check certifications and experience. A coach with relevant certifications and 100+ sessions logged is a safer bet than someone brand new.
- Confirm the format. In-person, online, or async — pick what fits your week.
- Message before you book. A 5-minute chat tells you if you'll click. The right coach should listen more than they pitch.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How much does running coaching cost on MojaFit?
- Rates vary by trainer and city. In Kenya, expect KES 1,500–3,500/hour; in South Africa, ZAR 250–600/hour. Online running coaching is usually cheaper. Every trainer's rate is shown upfront.
- I'm a complete beginner — is a coach overkill?
- Not at all. Beginners benefit most from a structured Couch-to-5K progression. A coach prevents the classic 'too much, too fast' injury that ends most beginner runs.
- Do I need to live near my coach?
- No — many MojaFit running coaches programme remotely. You log runs in Strava or Garmin, your coach reviews and adjusts week-by-week.
- What about Kenyan altitude camps?
- Trainers in Iten and Eldoret offer high-altitude camp packages for serious endurance athletes. Search by city to find them.
- How do I pay?
- Kenyan clients pay with M-Pesa or card. South African clients pay by card. All checkouts are PCI-compliant on MojaFit.
