Coaching

The Running Fix Coaching Philosophy

 

The foundations of my coaching philosophy stem from my experiences as an athlete. 

 

The most fulfilling coach-athlete relationships for me have not been about the results or performances we achieved, but rather about the journey, and the strong bond we developed over time. As such, I know that coaching is so much more than just prescribing training sessions. It's far more complex and intricate than that.

 

Developing a positive and meaningful coach-athlete relationship is integral to success. 

 

This not only takes time, but also commitment, belief, trust, and a true understanding of your athletes - what makes them tick, their passion, their strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Most importantly, you have to understand who they are as a person, not just as an athlete. 

 

As with any relationship, coaching is about collaboration and mutual respect - really listening to the needs and desires of your athletes, and communicating effectively with them and their entire team and support network. 

 

Only with these strong foundations and a meaningful relationship in place do I believe that a coach can really have a positive impact on the life of their athletes, and help them achieve their goals. 

 

This is what I will strive to bring to my coaching - purpose, passion and genuine care.

Targeting a specific goal event is a fantastic way to focus your training and promote key outcomes - whether that be a personal best time, or running further than you ever have before. 

 

Training for an event can also be daunting, particularly if you don't know where to start. Our event-specific running plans have been designed to help you chase these goals, and you can choose the program that's right for you - based on your goal event distance, ability and experience level.

 

Training is periodised to progress, build and allow for recovery throughout the program to help you achieve your event goals. 

 

These running plans can be facilitated online via training peaks, or via email contact. Cost is dependent on the program complexity and duration. Get in touch to find out more.
