Marathons Training

Does anyone think that i can get paid as a training consultant for people who want to run marathons?

I am an experienced marathoner. I’m not very very fast but above average. I also have experience in ironman triathlons and other small events like half marathons and 5-10ks. I am wondering if i can make money off of all the hard work i have done and after all the studying i have done on training methodology and coaching. All of this was on my spare time and i have no tangible credentials like a degree or certification.
I live in NYC where people will pay you $300 per week to run their dogs for 4 miles 3 days a week. Do you really think that i wouldn’t find ANYBODY AT ALL?

In our society, anything and everything is possible. If you live in a large-to-mid-sized city, where they have free “throw-away” newspapers, you may want to run a small ad offering your services.

If your local YMCA has a bulletin board, ask if you can post a notice. Also, post on the bulletin boards at all of the supermarkets in your city. Wherever you see bulletin boards, post your flyer, unless, the board has restrictions on what type of information can be posted posted.

When you talk to prospective clients, explain, in your FIRST telephone/screening conversation, with them that you do not have tangible credits in the field, and focus only on what you have done, so far, in the field. You may want to give a “trial offer, of a two or three free sessions,” to your first few clients.
Make sure they know that you are not licensed in this area.

You should also contact the Department of Licensing in your state, to find out if you MUST be licensed to offer your service to the public.

Good luck.
