FAQs

I provide training plans for endurance events – any distance from 3k up to and including a Marathon.

I don’t provide plans for distances longer than a marathon.

This requires specialist knowledge and experience that I don’t have.

I provide plans for running. I don’t provide plans for multi-sports, or for the running elements of multi-sports.

This requires specialist knowledge and experience that I don’t have.

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.

To learn about running with power, try the 5-Minute Guide to Running with Power.

Alternatively, try one of my Running with Power books:

• Running with Power: Why would you? WHY you might Run with Power. Explores what running with power is, what’s different about power, and why you should use it – the benefits.
• Running with Power: The Basics HOW to Run with Power. Covers the powerful models and metrics that you can use to guide your training and racing more effectively than using Heart Rate or Pace.

Power Meters for running include the Stryd Footpod,  the Garmin Running Dynamics Pod, HRM-Run, or HRM-Pro, the RunScribe Plus or Red, the Polar Grit or Vantage V, and the RUNVI insoles.

More recently, all of the major running watch manufacturers have included wrist-based power in their new models – if you have a recent watch, check with your watch manufacturer to see if it includes Power.

Personally, I’ve used Stryd Footpods (non-wind and wind versions) since 2018 and am 100% happy with them. Plus, Stryd consistently scores highly in reviews and comparisons (fellrnr, dcrainmaker, Outside) and comes with great customer service.

Should “life happen” and you need to take a break from training, just let me know. We can discuss what to do next.

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.

Please refer to my Terms & Conditions for more information.

I do not charge VAT (Value Added Tax / Sales Tax)

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

Why? I am a small business that needs to be careful with cashflow, including charges added by payment providers.

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