Why are your plans so expensive?

When you work with an effective coach (someone who can help you improve while ensuring it’s enjoyable), it’s not just about the time you spend with them. It’s about the knowledge they’ve accumulated over years of experience and study … knowledge that will be used to develop and work through a well-rounded training plan. It’s taken almost seven years and hundreds of questions and answers in running groups, along with study and certification, to reach the level I’m at today – you get the benefit.

While £359 may seem expensive for a marathon plan, after the setup cost, it’s just £20 per week over the 16 weeks we’ll work together. For that £20, you get a plan that is designed to improve your running while minimising injury risk (including runs, strength & mobility workouts, and drills), you get someone monitoring your progress and working with you to adjust the plan if it’s not working as expected or if “life happens”, you get access to the running group (from1runner2another) or to me if you have any questions, you get race-day advice & strategy, and you get someone that believes in training the whole runner, rather than just focusing on the running workouts.

All for £20 per week.

What are your payment terms?

All of our payment requests and invoices are due on receipt. Invoices are issued (and must be paid) prior to the next plan period.

Why? I am a small business that needs to be careful with cashflow.

Do you accept Credit Cards or PayPal?

At this time I only accept payment via bank transfer or standing order.

Do I have to pay up-front? Or can I pay monthly?

You don’t need to pay the full amount up-front. Instead, there’s an up-front deposit, with the balance billed every 4 weeks (for Event plans) or monthly (for Starting Running or Month-by-Month plans).

This enables both of us to budget on a monthly basis.
