How My Coaching Works
This is Personalized Coaching for Every Athlete
Whether you’re training for your first race or competing at an elite level, my coaching approach is built around you. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all training plans, your program is tailored to your goals, experience, and lifestyle.
What You Can Expect
1. Initial Consultation & Athlete Assessment
We start with a deep dive into your training history, goals, schedule, and any limitations (injuries, time constraints, etc.). This helps me build a program that fits your needs while maximizing your potential.
2. Customized Training Plan
Your training plan is designed specifically for you, taking into account your fitness level, race schedule, and personal commitments. I use a combination of linear and non-linear periodization to ensure continual progress while keeping training adaptable. This is about training to adaptations, not mindless volume training.
3. Ongoing Communication & Adjustments
Training is dynamic, life happens, and your plan should adjust accordingly. I provide regular and frank feedback, data analysis, and adjustments to ensure you’re progressing without burnout or injury.
4. Data-Driven Performance Optimization
I use all data metrics, heart rate, power, and pace analysis to fine-tune your workouts and race strategies. Every session has a purpose, and I’ll help you understand how to train smarter, not just harder.
5. Race Preparation & Strategy
From pacing strategies to race-day nutrition, I ensure you’re fully prepared for your target event. We’ll refine your race plan, practice transitions (if applicable), and build confidence leading up to the big day.
More Than Just a Training Plan
Coaching is about more than just workouts, it is holistic and about education, accountability, and long-term development. Whether you need guidance on bike fit, running gait analysis, or fueling strategies, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Reach out for a consultation, and let’s build a plan that works for you.
