Kyle LoJacono, founder and Director of Training at Freedom Running Club, has spent 20 years in the sport as both an athlete and coach. What began as a personal pursuit in XC and track evolved into a mission to help others achieve more than they thought possible through running.
His own competitive career included highs and hard lessons—like an injury in college from overtraining that ended his senior season. That experience now shapes his coaching: focused on safe progression, long-term growth, and smart, science-based training.
Since 2013, Kyle has coached runners at every level—from middle school beginners to competitive high school, college, and adult athletes chasing PRs. With over two decades in the sport, his experience is matched by his passion for helping others succeed.
Kyle’s coaching stands out for its individualized, evidence-based approach. He holds certifications from USATF, World Athletics, RRCA, NFHS, and NASM, and continually expands his knowledge through clinics and study in physiology, nutrition, biomechanics, and sport psychology.
At FRC, Kyle combines deep expertise with respect for every athlete’s journey. Whether you're aiming for varsity, Boston, or your first finish line, he believes in creating a personalized path and being the coach who believes in your potential.
-Do you include nutrition counseling services?
Yes! We offer guidance on building sustainable nutrition habits, including personalized recommendations to support your training and goals.
-Do you give me a plan to train while I’m traveling?
Absolutely. We’ll provide flexible, equipment-optional workouts that travel with you—no matter where you are.
-Can you give me a plan of what to do at home in between sessions?
Yes. We’ll design a customized at-home plan to keep you progressing on non-training days, tailored to your space and equipment.
-Can you design a cardio training plan for me to do on my own outside of the gym?
Definitely. We’ll create a cardio plan that aligns with your fitness level and goals, whether you prefer walking, running, biking, or something else.
-Will you coach me how to do all of my exercises? Of course. Yes, we will work with you throughout the whole process to make sure you are confident in what is being asked of you for each workout.
-Will you tell me to run until I'm exhausted and to stop eating all of my favorite foods? Nope! Our goal is balance in everything we do. We’ll help you safely increase your aerobic capacity with the right amount and intensity of runs and include your favorite foods while staying on track.
-What is personalized training? Your plan is tailored to you and your goals and nothing else. You’re not doing the same workout as everyone else—and it grows with you as your fitness improves and goals are reset.
-Can I do this if I’ve never really run before? Yes! Many of our clients are beginners. We’ll start with the basics and build your confidence safely and progressively.
-Does FRC personalize the program for me? 100%. Every program is designed based on your goals, history, and lifestyle.
-How will you know how to design the best program for me? We begin with a comprehensive assessment and conversation about your goals, fitness history and any limitations, so we can build a plan that fits you perfectly.
-How will we track my progress? We use a combination of performance metrics, including your workout results and various tests throughout the training cycle, and goal check-ins to ensure you’re moving forward.
-Is there strength in your program? Yes, we include strength coaching as appropriate for you in your running journey as needed based on your goals.
-I have an old injury, should I see my doctor before reaching out? If your injury is recent or unresolved, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor first. Once cleared, we’ll work around limitations and create a safe plan for you.
-Does your program encourage clients to train through pain? No. Pain is your body’s way of signaling something isn’t right. We adjust and modify exercises to stay safe and effective.
-Will you tell me to do the same exercises as everyone else? Never. Your program is designed just for you. We tailor movements to your body and your goals.
-I’ve had trouble staying motivated while training in the past, can you help me? Yes. We focus on sustainable strategies, not quick fixes, combining smart training, nutrition support and accountability.
-How can you help keep me on track with my training? We provide habit coaching, regular check-ins, and flexible strategies to help you stay consistent—even when life gets busy.
-How can you help me be consistent in showing up to train? We’ll build a plan that fits your schedule, offer accountability, and create an environment you’ll actually want to show up for.
-Can you help me get faster? Yes! We specialize in progressive training and proper fueling to help you build your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to be at your best.
How Do I Know This Is Right for Me?
-I’m not in great shape—will I feel out of place? Not at all. Many of our clients start with little to no fitness background. We meet you where you are and progress at a pace that’s right for you.
-I’ve tried other programs before and didn’t stick with them. What makes this different? We focus on sustainable progress, accountability and personal connection. Your program is designed for your life, not someone else’s. That’s what keeps clients coming back—and growing.
-Do I have to be motivated before I start? Nope. In fact, many clients come to us because they’re struggling to find motivation. We help build momentum through structure, support, and wins you can feel.
-I don’t have a lot of time—can this still work for me? Yes. We create efficient plans based on your availability. Even a few focused sessions a week can produce real results.
-Will I have to commit to something long-term right away? No pressure. We offer flexible options and will help you choose the best starting point based on your comfort level and goals, including a 1-month trial to make sure this is right for you!
