Coaching Consultations

Coaching consultations give general advice to runners who are not looking for a dedicated training plan but still want the expertise of a qualified and experienced coach in trail and ultra running.

The aim is to provide high-level direction and general options to guide you through the process of training and racing.

The consultation takes the form of an hour-plus call following the submission of the questionnaire (See appendix for responses).

The output is a document providing the details of what was discussed during the call and providing guidance for you on how to adapt your training and prepare for your race.
