Run coaching in Murfreesboro, TN

Train smarter. Race without limits.

Most run coaching gives you a plan and sends you on your way. At Proactive Kinetics, coaching is backed by the same gait analysis and movement data used in our PT work. You train smarter because you actually know how your body moves.

Run coaching at Proactive Kinetics in Murfreesboro, TN.

Training hard without a plan only gets you to the same wall.

You train consistently but your times and fitness have stopped moving

More miles does not always mean more fitness. Without structure, progression, and feedback on how your body is adapting, effort can plateau fast.

You keep getting hurt right when training starts to build

Recurring injury is often a load management problem. Without a coached plan, it is hard to know where the line is until you have already crossed it.

Generic plans do not account for how your body actually moves

Online plans are built for averages. They do not know your gait, your injury history, or what your body can handle right now. That gap is where most running injuries start.

How it works

Our three-phase approach to lasting results

Resolve

Stop managing symptoms. We start with a deep-dive investigation to find the actual root cause of your pain, so your plan addresses the real problem from day one.

Reload

Take ownership of the work. Progressive loading bridges the gap from pain-free to powerful, rebuilding both strength and confidence in your movement.

Reinforce

Play the long game. Refined mechanics and self-management tools help you sustain your results for years, not weeks.

I am so glad I found Proactive Kinetics. Dr. Sam is compassionate and listens to all my concerns. She has provided with me with many techniques to improve pain and weakness. If you need PT you can't go wrong with Dr. Sam!

I went to Dr Sam for a sore shoulder I’d had for a few months. She was able to determine where the problem was originating and develop a plan of exercises, stretches and some other interventions to get the muscles to loosen up and move without pain. I’ve graduated from shoulder PT and would recommend her for PT or even for preventative care if you’re starting a new sport or exercise routine.

Dr. Samantha Elrod with Proactive Kinetics was great for my physical therapy. I quickly saw improvement with my issues. She was able to get me back to where I was before my accident in eight visits. The bonus was not having to drive somewhere for the treatment. She came to me. If would definitely recommend using Proactive Kinetics for any physical therapy that you may need.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about run coaching in Murfreesboro, answered by the Proactive Kinetics team.

Is this just a training plan, or is there analysis involved?

Both. Coaching at Proactive Kinetics is backed by the same gait and movement analysis used in our PT work. Your plan is built with real data about how your body moves, not just your current fitness numbers or a generic template.

Do I need to be injured to work with a run coach?

No. Most coaching clients are healthy runners who want structure, injury prevention built into their training, and a clearer path to their performance goals. You do not need to be hurt to benefit from a coached plan.

How does run coaching connect to the PT side?

At Proactive Kinetics, the coaching and PT sides share the same movement and gait analysis data. If something comes up during training that needs a clinical eye, you are already in the right place. The two services are designed to work together.

What types of runners do you work with?

Recreational through competitive runners, from 5K to full marathon, road and trail. Whether you are returning from injury, building your base, or preparing for a goal race, coaching can be structured around where you are and where you want to go.

What makes this different from a generic online training plan?

Generic plans are built for averages. They do not know your gait, your injury history, or what your body can handle right now. At Proactive Kinetics, coaching is individualized and backed by movement data, so the plan actually reflects your body.
