FAQ

Often runners don't get a running coach because they believe they are not good enough for a coach. There is a misconception that coaches are for fast people. Podium people. Rake-thin-singlet-wearing people. So they wait to get a running coach for when they 'deserve' one. Often it is only when they are injured, over trained, demotivated, or frustrated that they get a coach. Just as you wouldn't try and become an expert pianist before hiring a piano tutor, don't make yourself wait to get a running coach. Getting coaching means you get:

• Personalised training that works for you.

• The mental load of planning your running training around work, kids, and life is lifted.

• An objective eye protecting you from over training (that's why even elite runners have coaches).

• Someone working with you to achieve your goals, like your personal cheer squad.

• Accountability; someone who knows and cares what you're doing and how it went, and providing you with motivation and support.

• Someone available to answer your questions, look at your gait, or anything else you need.

• Tips, techniques, and strategies personalised for you and your level of running.

• Someone who understands. There is a human being who understands and cares about you working out your plans.

• Someone who reworks your plans for you when life gets in the way.

You are good enough, and you deserve a running coach.

While I have decades of experience with teaching as a profession, am a highly experienced runner, and am a qualified, experienced coach, I am not a super fast runner who can coach you to placings.
