Price.
The price of the coaching plan is £250/month, billed quarterly. It’s expensive because it’s a premium service.
The minimum commitment for coaching is 3 months.
However, if within the first 30 days of the first billing period, you aren’t satisfied, I will give you your money back no questions asked.
If you have any questions, get in touch! We can discuss your goals and how I can help you get ready for race day!
How it works.
We will start with a conversation to go over your objectives, current physical fitness, experience with running, past injuries, life/job obligations, and the time you have available for training.
I will create a custom program tailored to your personal needs, aimed to help you reach your goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
To help you understand when to push and when to rest, I will provide exact training duration and intensities. Finding the right balance between tough workouts and recovery is essential.
I can offer counsel on various elements of training, including strength workouts, cross-training approaches, running gear, injury avoidance, daily nutrition, and nutrition for racing events.
The level of coaching and communication provided varies based on your requirements for direction, feedback, responsibility, and motivation.
You can tell me how you feel about your training and how it's going, so I can make adjustments to your program to ensure you are making the most of it and heading towards your targets.
If you are unhappy with the coaching or it’s below your expectations, let me know within the first 30 days and I will give your money back with no questions asked.
Consultation.
If you don't require a complete coaching program, a 1 hour, 1-to-1 consultation can be a great choice.
This could range from a morale boost or help with a personal issue, the evaluation of a training plan or tips for a certain event, including nutrition and gear.
