Once you make contact through social media or the the website, I will arrange a phone call at your convenience. You will then be sent a questionnaire to learn a bit more about your background and your goals. This will form the basis of your training plan.
You will receive a full training plan based on initial goals set, whether that’s starting from scratch and building your base fitness up, or leading up to your initial goal race, whether it’s 12 weeks, 16 weeks or even longer away with a recovery plan factored in.
Your unique training plan will contain periodisation of specific training blocks designed to improve your fitness at the stage you’re at in your running journey, and get you ready for any race day you may have in mind. You will also be fully informed of the reasoning behind each training block – it’s important that you’re invested in your training and you understand the logic and reasoning behind what, why and when you’re doing it. Nutrition, strength and mobility advice will also be provided.
Continuous monitoring and evaluation of your training will ensure you hit your goals, adjusting as and when needed, whilst a race day plan will be formed to fully prepare you for your target events. This will include how to pace, suggested nutrition advice and suggested gear.
*You will be eligible for free Pennine Trails races whilst coached by Endurance State
