Effective date: July 21, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website l2endurance.com and the coaching services provided by L2 Endurance Coaching (“L2 Endurance Coaching,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by L2 Endurance Coaching, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company owned by Russell D. Painter, Jr. (“Rusty”), and based in Columbia, Richland County, South Carolina. By purchasing coaching, submitting a form, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
1. Who Can Use Our Services
Our services are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. By using our services you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are using them with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.
2. Our Services
L2 Endurance Coaching provides personalized endurance running coaching for runners of all levels, delivered online. Current offerings include: 1:1 Online Monthly coaching (ongoing, month-to-month); fixed-term race-specific training blocks (such as our 12-Week Block for the 5K through half marathon, and our 16-Week Block for a first marathon); One-Off Training Plans (a single written plan with no ongoing support or adjustments); and free resources such as our 12-week Couch to 5K plan. Online coaching and plans are delivered primarily through the Final Surge platform. Specific plan features and pricing are described at the time of purchase and may change. The details of your coaching engagement are governed by the Coaching Services Agreement you accept at the time of purchase, and participation requires a signed Assumption of Risk, Waiver of Liability, and Release of Claims.
3. Medical Disclaimer: Please Read Carefully
Rusty Painter is an ISSA-Certified Running Coach. He is not a physician, physical therapist, dietitian, or other licensed medical professional, and nothing provided by L2 Endurance Coaching is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Our coaching, training plans, and content are for general fitness and educational purposes only.
You should consult a qualified physician before beginning any exercise or training program, particularly if you have any medical condition, injury, cardiac history, are pregnant, are taking medication, or have any concern about your ability to exercise safely. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of anything you receive from us. If you experience chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or any other warning sign during exercise, stop immediately and seek medical attention.
4. Assumption of Risk and Release of Liability
You understand that running, physical training, and related activities carry inherent risks, including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, fractures, overuse injuries, heat-related illness, cardiac events, and in rare cases serious injury or death. These risks exist even in properly designed programs and even for people in apparent good health.
By using our services, you knowingly and voluntarily accept and assume all such risks. You represent that you are physically able to participate and, where appropriate, have obtained medical clearance to do so. You participate at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold harmless L2 Endurance Coaching, LLC, Rusty Painter, and anyone acting on their behalf from any and all claims, liabilities, or damages arising out of or related to your participation in any training, plan, or activity connected with our services.
5. Pricing, Billing, and Renewal
Prices for coaching and plans are shown at checkout and are stated in U.S. dollars. Monthly coaching is billed in advance on a recurring basis and automatically renews each billing period until you cancel. Fixed-term training blocks are billed in full at the start of the block (or in the installments shown at checkout). One-off plans are payable in full at the time of purchase. Payments are processed securely by our payment provider, Stripe, through SureCart. You authorize us and our payment provider to charge your chosen payment method for the applicable fees, including recurring subscription fees, until you cancel.
If a payment fails or is more than ten (10) days late, we may suspend your coaching (including access to plans and messaging) until your account is current. You remain responsible for fees accrued before suspension and for any bank or processor fees resulting from a failed payment.
We may change our fees on at least thirty (30) days’ notice; a change takes effect at your next renewal, and prices are locked for the duration of any fixed-term training block you have already paid for.
6. Cancellation and Refunds
Monthly coaching. Monthly coaching is month-to-month with no long-term contract. You may cancel at any time by written notice (email is sufficient) with at least thirty (30) days’ notice before your next billing date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid month, and you keep access to coaching through the end of that month. Fees already paid for the current or any partial billing period are non-refundable.
Race-specific training blocks. Because we reserve coaching capacity and build your plan in advance, training-block refunds work as follows: a full refund if you cancel fourteen (14) or more days before the block start date; a refund less a seventy-five dollar ($75) administrative fee if you cancel fewer than fourteen (14) days before the start date; and no refund once the block has begun. If you must stop mid-block for a documented medical reason, we will credit the unused portion of the block toward a future block or toward monthly coaching, usable within twelve (12) months of cancellation.
One-off plans. One-off and pre-written training plans are non-refundable once delivered, because these are digital products, all sales are final once the plan has been purchased or delivered.
Pauses. You may pause monthly coaching for up to eight (8) weeks per twelve (12) months (for injury, travel, illness, or life events) in minimum increments of one (1) week, by written notice. Billing is suspended during an approved pause.
If you believe there has been a billing error, contact us at coaching@l2endurance.com and we will work with you in good faith to resolve it.
7. Your Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate and complete information, including honest disclosure of your health history, injuries, and any medical considerations, so that we can coach you as safely as possible. You are responsible for your own training decisions and for listening to your body. Following any plan or recommendation is at your own discretion and risk.
8. Intellectual Property and Personal Use
All training plans, workouts, written materials, and other content we provide are owned by L2 Endurance Coaching and are licensed to you for your personal, individual use only. You may not resell, share, redistribute, publish, or use them to coach or train others without our written permission.
9. Third-Party Platforms
Our services rely on third-party platforms, including Final Surge (coaching delivery) and Stripe (payments). Your use of those platforms is also governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their services.
10. No Guarantee of Results
We are committed to helping you train effectively, but individual results vary and depend on many factors outside our control, including your effort, consistency, health, and circumstances. We do not guarantee any specific performance, fitness, weight, race, or health outcome. Our services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, L2 Endurance Coaching and Rusty Painter will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss arising out of your use of our services. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us for the service giving rise to the claim.
12. Termination
We may suspend or end your access to our services at any time if you violate these Terms or if we are unable to continue providing services. You may stop using our services at any time.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in South Carolina.
14. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date above, and your continued use of our services means you accept the updated Terms.
