Frequently Asked Questions
- Why are you are so inexpensive as a coach?
Because I believe everyone deserves the right to have a coach. Not everyone can afford the $100+ per month that some coaches charge. I also have a really good job that pays my bills, so I am doing this because I love to help people!
- I want to jump into the ultra world, can you help me?
Yes I can! We will talk about what races you are interested in, narrow it down to your top race and then the goals you have for that race. I will then put together a running plan for you and we will work together as you chase that goal.
- What if things come up in my day to day life and I miss a day or two?
I completely understand a busy life! I work full time and occasionally have to stay late at work or I have had a very rough day and I just don’t want to get out. Missing a day or two won’t hurt anything, trust me…I know! If something comes up, just shoot me a message(text or email) and we can either adjust the training schedule or just keep pushing on.
- What does a training plan look like?
Depending on the race and the amount of time we have before the race, I will carefully develop a plan that will include some aerobic conditioning, vo2 max, steady state and lactate threshold training as well. Recovery/easy runs will be added in there to help as well. Our main focus will be on your running but I will also include some strength training exercises(bodyweight, kettlebells or dumbbells) that will help support your training. We will schedule rest/recovery days into the plan. We don’t want you to get burnt out and hate training. We will have fun even during the hard training.
- Are you a certified coach?
I have currently completed the USECA Ultrarunning coaching program and I am currently refreshing the material before I take the tests. So very soon I will be a certified coach.
