Why Choose Kenyan Coaching?
– Authentic Kenyan running expertise
– Truly individualized coaching
– A global perspective for runners everywhere
I bring you years of experience as an elite Kenyan runner, insights gained from top coaches, and a lifelong passion for helping runners achieve their goals.
Kenya has produced generations of world-class distance runners, but successful training isn’t about copying what another athlete does.
Effective training means understanding the principles behind it and applying them to your circumstances, and my role as your online running coaching guide is to help you turn those principles into a training approach that works for you.
Your goals are unique—your training should be too.
There is no single training plan that works for every runner.
For this reason, your training needs to take into account your current fitness, running history, goal, available training time, lifestyle, recovery and the demands of your target race.
That’s why my coaching is 100% tailored to you.
I work with runners from different countries and at different levels, creating progressive training that adapts as you improve.
You don’t simply receive a training schedule.
You get more than a plan—you get an invested coach who tracks your progress, supports your journey, and guides you every step of the way.

Testimonials
Every runner’s success is my mission. Join dozens of athletes worldwide who’ve transformed with Kenyan coaching.
Pleasure to work with
“Justin is a pleasure to work with and helps you in your running journey. Like all coaching, the Long term is the way to go. Don’t book Justin for only 2 months, you can’t build a house without a fundament. And building that fundament takes the time needed to do so.”
Improved 30sec/km in 4 months
“Improved my speed in 4months by a good 20-30sec/km. He can also run 3min+sec/km at altitude. Don’t you want to be coached by someone who actually runs & has access to Kenyan running family secrets? You will be a faster runner!”
Great Coach!
“He’s a great coach!! Working with Justin Lagat since last summer (2019). Noticed improvement at Sept races! Now he’s helping me get ready for a 200 Km run (fundraiser) and then again for Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon and Canada Army Run.”
NYC Marathon Breakthrough
“I improved my PB at the NYC Marathon and my previous time by over 12 minutes within a few months of training with Justin Lagat.”
Endurance & Recovery Improved
“Prior to this, my longest run was 14 miles (22k), with the second half way slower than the first. With my last 16 miles (25k) long run, my last mile was the best. My recovery time has also improved a lot, and I seem to be able to just go out and run.”
Highly Recommended
“We highly recommend our senior writer for Kenya as your remote coach! Justin knows the sport and loves to run! Check him out!”
A HUGE difference
“I didn’t believe in my ability to hold the 3:15/km pace today but you were right! GAP was even 3:12/km on my watch app! Honestly, I didn’t think getting outside help with programming the training would make as HUGE a difference as it has! So, thank you!”
