Training
that Fits Your Life
Serious goals
take a
serious commitment. However, real, long term success also
requires a healthy balance in all areas of your life: work, school,
family, friends,
etc.
I create training plans programs that
work with your life - time
constraints and stresses - to help you
maintain a healthy life balance.

Are you using
someone else's training plan? One-size-fits-all training
programs - group training, book, magazine,
and web based programs - are fine to a point, but will only get you
so far. Almost any consistent training will help. However, is it really
the best for you? Does it take advantage of your individual strenghts
and weaknesses? Does it take into account the real time constraints and
stress factors in your life? Does it follow a smart progression that
allows you to get better at a rate in tune with your own body, and
minimizes the risk of injury?
I design training programs that take advantage of your
individual strengths and weaknesses, and that work with your lifestyle
- a program can take you farther in much less time.
Who can
benefit from coaching?
Coaching is for
anyone looking to improve, train smarter, and train
more efficiently. It's athletes of all age, ability and experience;
whether
you are training for your first 5km, your 50th marathon, or just
want to get into better shape.
- Running: Road & Trail. 5km to 100 miles
- Multisport: Triathlon and Duathlon
- Adventure Racing andOther Endurance Sports
- Communication
is
essential to a successful coaching
relationship. Each person responds differently to the stresses of
training. Feedback is essential so I can
custom fit your program to your body and lifestyle.
- Mutual trust
is
important. This enables free
flowing and open
communication.
- I try to adapt my communication
style to fit your personality. For example, some people need
more of a cheerleader style, others want more of a parent to keep them
"honest" to their training.
- Learn as
you Train
- I give you
the reason behind each
workout, and teach you how to better understand your own body's
signals. I don't expect you to blindly follow each workout without
question. The more you learn, the better the quality of the feedback,
and the better you are able to modify your
training to sudden changes in your life.
- Collaboration
-
This is a team effort. I am responsible for giving you the workouts.
You are responsible for doing the training. Neither one works without
the other, and the keys mentions above.
There are certain
fundamental truths of training.
However, no two individuals are alike. Thus, no two training programs
should be the same.
What does that really mean? It means that each person has different
inherent strengths and weaknesses, and respond to the different
stresses of training differently. What works for Deena, or Lance, or
your training partner, may not be the best for you.
I work with sound, scientific training principles (check back
later for more information) to tailor
training programs to your individual strengths and weaknesses, and
around your lifestyle. I create a program unique to you, one that helps
you get the most out of your time and abilities. There are no quick
fixes or magic pills. I emphasize
consistent, long term, injury free progress and fun.
- Standard
Coaching:
Daily/weekly workouts. Regular feedback, phone or e-mail.
- Consulting:
One
time or periodic meetings where I give you advice
and answer questions on anything you want. Typically, we review your
goals, current training and history, and life style, then develop a
training outline and give you some training fundamentals to manage your
own training. A session lasts about 60-75 minutes. I don't punch a
clock, I want to make sure we have enough time to get you going on your
own, with limits. This can be done in person or on the phone. There's
an additional charge for traveling out of the area.
- Hybrid -
Starts
with an initial consultation. You make your own daily/weekly training
schedule. Includes regular feedback sessions to help you adjust your
training or answer other questions.
- Semi-Private,
Group
Training: I can design special programs for a
small group of friends, or larger training groups.
