I only accept payment via bank transfer (UK or international) or standing order.
Why? I am a small business that needs to be careful with cashflow, including charges added by payment providers.
Do you charge VAT?
I do not charge VAT (Value Added Tax / Sales Tax)
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 Month-by-Month plans).
This enables both of us to budget on a monthly basis.
Please refer to my Terms & Conditions for more information.
What if “life happens” and I need to take a break from training?
Should “life happen” and you need to take a break from training, just let me know. We can discuss what to do next.
Why is your coaching 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 more than ten 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 £300+ may seem expensive for coaching a marathon, after the setup cost, it’s just £20 per week over the 16-20 weeks we’ll work together. For that £20, you get:
🔹 a plan that is designed to improve your running while minimising injury risk
🔹 someone monitoring your progress and working with you to adjust the plan if it’s not working as expected or if “life happens”
🔹 access to the running group (from1runner2another) or to me if you have any questions
🔹 race-day advice & strategy
🔹 someone that believes in training the whole runner, rather than just focusing on the running workouts.
All for £20 per week.
