ENJOY YOUR RUN
My name is Anton Zhiganov. I’m the coach and founder of LA Running School. For over 10 years, I’ve been organizing races and training amateur athletes, and I’m also a finisher and prize-winner in multiple endurance sports events. Through my experience, I truly understand the challenges that many amateur runners face.

Working with beginners and experienced runners alike, I see how many people don’t fully understand how to run safely and effectively. With the right approach, you can reach your goals faster and with more confidence. That’s why our school focuses on “smart running.” We help both beginner and advanced runners finish with a smile—whether it’s their first 5K, 10K, half-marathon, marathon, or even ultramarathon.

We invite you to join our training sessions—we’re here to help you achieve your running goals. Our school’s motto is “Enjoy Your Run,” and we look forward to running with you!

FAQs
We will also be happy to answer your question by phone: +1 (323) 765-4284
  • What level of running and experience is required to start training?
    We have no requirements for the initial level. You can join our school at any level, from beginners to advanced runners with experience. Everyone finds their own path here.
  • What equipment do I need to start training?
    When you sign up for a training session, you will receive an informational email detailing what to bring to your first training session. We don't recommend buying special shoes or gear right away, as there are many nuances that the coach will explain during the training. So, come in what you usually run or exercise in. No need to buy anything special; just come in your regular active running or walking attire.
  • What are the benefits for me if I can already run 5 kilometers?
    Our professional coaches will help you analyze your technique and identify any mistakes, assist you in finding new running goals, and help you achieve them. This experience will be beneficial for you to advance further, improve your current running and athletic performance, and elevate your current level. Additionally, our school will help you formulate future plans and teach you the correct approach to running training.
  • Can I join if I can't run at all or run very slowly?
    Yes, absolutely! You can join our school even if you're starting from scratch or run very slowly. Our coaches will teach you from the ground up, helping you learn the correct technique quickly without needing to spend a lot of time correcting mistakes.
  • What happens if I miss a training session?
    If you miss a training session, it's not a problem. We will send you a self-training assignment. If you are ill, you can freeze your training and reschedule it for another time. All issues regarding missed sessions can be handled through our coordinator.
