hi! currently a junior HS athlete with times of sub 15:50 5k, sub 9:40 3200, and sub 4:30 1600 looking into runccg and other similar private coaches. my weekly mileage is 15MPW. Am interested if anyone with similar times and similar mileage had a huge change when they had a change of coaches and such. we currently do not have a coach and am desperately looking to help from online
if you need more information about current coaching please feel happy to ask
RunCCG would be a great fit

15 mpw is too low
The magic man coach J.S is your best take. Great online coach.
Get a coach, but don't be afraid to up your miles. Just add easy distance over the summer, gradually. Big benefits at 30+. Just don't push it to get there.

Eff that, I’ll coach him for free. And I won’t give him a cookie cutter plan of increasing volume and intensity like RunCCG would

Find someone with experience successfully coaching people all the way from your age to the elite level. Talk with this guy, especially if you're in the Atlanta area, but even if you're not.
Once again, I’ll do it for FREE. You shouldn’t have to pay for a competent coach especially as a young high schooler

I think this is the one guy JS would tell to run more. Maybe he would actually be a good fit.
OP what is making you consider private coaching? You seem to have relatively good success on a low mileage program. Do you feel your current coach is holding you back ? Is there an issue with your current coach?
I think its going to be a bit hard to find someone and when you do, their training plan for you will be radically different from your current low mileage approach.
You could try JS, I guess, he'll probably show up in this thread sooner or later. Otherwise, there is always Daniels running formula if you would be interested in coaching yourself through a more moderate mileage approach.
