How Personalised Coaching works
The relationship will be one where you work together to grow you as an athlete
When you sign up for Personal Coaching you are getting an experienced, qualified coach to guide you on your own running journey.
Here's how the relationship works: ​
-
Send us an overview of what your goals are and what you are wanting to achieve with a one on one coach.
-
Our coach will make contact within 48-72 hours to have a chat about your goals so you can get an understanding of how the relationship will work and if you feel it will be a good fit for you.
-
If you want to go ahead - our coach will send you the details on how to get started!
-
Our coach will then be in contact to work through what you need (apps, gear needed etc) and the plan moving forward.
-
The coach will send through an outline of your periodised training plan aimed at achieving your goal.
-
They will then write your first month's training programme and go through it with you in a video meeting explainer.
-
Each week the coach will review your training (using TrainingPeaks) and give you feedback on your sessions and progress. This weekly feedback will occur for the duration of your coaching relationship and will help guide you through any training changes as they occur.
-
You will have monthly updates on your programme including a monthly 30min video meeting with your coach. These sessions will give you an opportunity to feedback progress, which will help guide the next stage of your customised programme. The coach will also teach you important lessons for achieving your goals (like running nutrition, race strategies and running technique).
-
The coach will always be available by email to answer your questions.
