Begin with a free, no-obligation consultation to see whether this is the right service for you.
Initial consultation
The initial consultation is a free, no-obligation chat and questionnaire to establish your goals, training history, and demands of your daily life. It's also a chance to discuss the approach and decide whether it suits you.
No payment or card details at this stage.

The best programs are ones that are personal and that you believe in. We believe athletes deserve answers to the question "why am I doing this?", which is why every program includes the justifications for every decision made. This is not just good coaching practice that forces us to think about what we are doing: it also gives you more insight into why you're doing what you're doing and enables you to ask specific questions about your training when these explanations fall short or run counter to what you believe.
The program starts with your current fitness, health, and capacity to recover, and includes running, cross training, and for most people, strength work. Exercise guidance and feedback on technique videos are always available.
A plan that changes with you
Billing is every four weeks, but you'll only receive two weeks of training at a time. Cookie-cutter training plans give you the entire program up front, but your mind, body, and calendar don't always behave in predictable ways. The two-week time horizon gives you enough space to organise your week while leaving room for the next block to reflect how you actually responded to the work. If you'd like to view more of your training plan, that can be discussed, but be aware that, unless specifically requested, workouts more than two weeks away may change.
Fuelling and race preparation
All plans include basic nutrition guidance so you can get the most out of your recovery and adapt to the training. Race preparation is also included, so that you can master your taper, race-day routine, and tactics on the big day.
Regular conversation
A scheduled 30-minute meeting each month gives you time to discuss progress beyond the latest sessions. Between meetings, text or email your coach whenever you need to, and arrange additional calls as often as you like. There will also be shorter, weekly check-ins so we can assess how you're responding to the training.
If a session feels wrong or your week changes, you should raise it as it happens. Discussing the options makes the programme more responsive and helps you develop your own judgement about training.
