How does it work?
-
I will send you a questionnaire to complete about your running. We will then have an initial consultation call via phone or video call of up to one hour to understand your current fitness levels, goals, and available training time.
-
A clear training plan will be presented to you through an online training log/calendar built solely to your needs outlining what each session involves and what 'good' looks like
-
Regular monthly one to one coach contact via phone or video call of up to one hour which will include pre-race discussion on tactics, food, race nerves etc if required
-
Post-race debrief and analysis
-
Unlimited personal communication via email or WhatsApp to ask questions or let me know of any problems / unexpected events that impact your plan
Communication is essential for remote coaching so the more I get to know you and you provide feedback the better I can make the plan for you!
Monthly plan charge £90
Bucket List Race Training
If you have an entry to one of the bucket list/dream marathons or ultra races from around the world then you'll want to get all of your race preparations and race strategy right. I've seen very good athletes DNF due to a lack of knowledge about the race terrain and climate, being poorly prepared and making mistakes come race day.
Your 1-2-1 coaching plan will be specifically targeted for your dream race and your regular coaching calls will develop your knowledge of the race, tactics, kit etc over several months so you feel ready and confident on the start line.
