All general communication, Q+As, session feedback, and resource sharing is done via WhatsApp. Each week will feature a designated 'check-in' day where I provide analysis of the previous week’s key sessions ie. long runs, speed and/or hill workouts etc. and we discuss the specifics of the next week’s schedule as well as adjust training days if required

This is also a chance to further discuss any and all training comments made by you in the previous week and address any concerns or queries you might have. 

Aside from programming-specific discussions, athletes are more than welcome (and encouraged) to touch base at any time across the week seeking guidance on anything from nutrition and race scheduling, to training physiology and tapering. I will endeavour to respond as soon as possible but certainly within 24hrs.

Training programs are scheduled each week in an athlete’s Training Peaks calendar. Training Peaks can be synced with apps like Strava and watch systems ie. Coros and Garmin, meaning that when you finish a recorded run, it will automatically show up as completed in the calendar.

In addition, Training Peaks allows you to make comments on individual sessions, noting metrics like recovery, quality, and motivation. Through regular athlete feedback, patterns emerge and allow me to make more informed coaching decisions as well as note potential trends that could lead to issues in the future.

Through a combination of subjective metrics (made by you) and objective data sourced from WKO5 (an advanced running metric and analysis tool affiliated with Training Peaks), athletes receive a comprehensive, holistic picture of their key sessions as well as how the previous week’s training looked in general.

Using these tools, we can ensure A. that sessions are being appropriately planned, B. executed as per or as close to the prescription as possible, and C. extra-running variables ie. sleep, stress, nutrition etc. are considered within the context of performance.

More to the point, these analyses allow you the athlete to understand the reasons for why I’m programming a specific session, where we’re headed in terms of progression, where and why improvements can be made, and essentially allows us to be on the same page at all times.

Race weeks, no matter if it’s your 1st or 10th, always feature their share of nerves and excitement.

Having the opportunity to get on a call together via Zoom in the days leading up to your event and ask last minute questions, go over the pacing plan, and share nutrition thoughts etc. is an invaluable and comforting opportunity that allows you to toe that start line truly feeling like you’re in the best place possible.

AUD$180 per month. For just a little more than the cost of a coffee per day, you receive a personalised training and racing experience tackling all areas of endurance performance.

No.

All programming, analysis, coaching calls, and general support is included in the monthly fee.

If I am still able to provide you with valuable and regular emotional and rehabilitation support ie. calls, strength and conditioning workouts, liaising with allied health professionals etc. then your program payments will continue. If this is not the case or your injury requires extensive time off, then payments can be paused until you’re ready to return to training.

In short, yes! Absolutely.
