Running Coaching Client Intake Form

Onboard a new running client with goals, history, and availability, capturing their PBs, mileage, and injuries in one form.

Description

The Running Coaching Client Intake Form gives coaches a thorough way to onboard a new runner. It captures their main goal, their running so far, and how long they have been running, along with current weekly mileage and how many days they can train, so you understand the runner before building any plan.

Fields for a goal race and date, recent PBs across distances, any current or recurring injuries, and how they track their runs complete the picture, while a confidentiality step covers their information. Capturing all this upfront means coaching that is personal and effective from day one.

A full picture makes for sharper coaching. Sign up for a free Fun Forms account to customize the fields and embed this intake form on your website.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Running Coaching Client Intake Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a running coaching client intake form?

A running coaching client intake form is an online form new runners complete to onboard with a coach. It captures their goals, history, and availability, so a coach can understand the runner and build a personal, effective plan from the very first week.

Why capture recent PBs across distances?

Recent PBs across distances reveal a runner’s strengths and current fitness, from speed at 5K to endurance at the marathon. They let a coach set training paces accurately, judge where the runner excels, and design a plan that plays to their abilities and target.

Why ask how a runner tracks their runs?

Knowing how a runner tracks their runs, whether by watch, app, or not at all, tells a coach what data they can work with. It shapes how you set and review sessions, so coaching fits the tools the runner already uses day to day.

Why ask about recurring injuries?

Recurring injuries reveal a runner’s weak points, which is essential for building a plan that keeps them healthy. Knowing them lets a coach build in prehab and manage load carefully, so the runner trains consistently rather than repeating the injury cycle that holds many back.

Why include a confidentiality step?

Intake gathers personal and sometimes health-related information, so a confidentiality step reassures the runner and records their agreement to how it is handled. It builds the trust good coaching depends on and supports responsible, professional treatment of their data.

Is the running coaching client intake form free?

Yes, this running coaching client intake form is completely free, and you can customize the fields to fit your coaching, embed it on your website, and go live with no coding required. Just create a free Fun Forms account to start onboarding runners online.
