Personal Coaching

Personal coaching is ideal for athletes with medium and long-term fitness and performance goals. My coaching philosophy is straightforward: keep it simple, keep it fun, get the results you want.

“I love that you make our training down to earth and approachable. When things are not relevant you are happy to say they’re not relevant, and at the end of the day the most relevant things are actually quite accessible: do the right things, in the right way, at the right time, and keep doing them. Key to success.” -Rose, skier

With the Gold Coaching Package, you will receive:

  • A free initial consultation to help me determine your athletic goals, current physical fitness, and available training resources.
  • A fully customized training plan for a twelve week period.
  • One free in-person training session and discounted additional sessions, if you are where I am now.
  • Video instruction for your custom strength workouts, with new videos added regularly
  • Free or discounted access to many online classes
  • Regular feedback from me. This includes:
    • Instruction on filling out an online training log
    • Regular comments and feedback from me on your recorded training
    • Unlimited consultation via text, email and video chat.
    • Optional in-depth work for related goals such as weight management
    • Weekly check-ins from me, with adjustments to the training plan if necessary.

This is my most popular coaching package. Gold level coaching will teach you why your workouts work, not simply how to follow a plan. This is the place to be if you’re ready to improve your physical training, recovery, goal-setting, strength training, and injury prevention, and get more out of the work you’re already putting in. Gold level coaching is not limited to athletes with high-level performance goals.

If you are interested in Gold Level and haven’t already touched base with me, please fill out this form and I will be in touch to continue for free initial consultation.

Because it is my goal to develop a close relationship with the athletes I work with, I can accept a limited number of athletes for Gold Level personal coaching.

Who should choose this level? This plan is for athletes who will benefit from a high degree of attention, support, and accountability. Many athletes train more effectively when they have a coach to report to at the end of the day. As your personal coach I can offer just that, giving you feedback on each workout and making adjustments to the plan as needed, in addition to being available for all of your training questions.

With the Basic Coaching Package, you will receive:

Option 1: The Training Plan only

  • A free initial consultation to help me determine your athletic goals, current physical fitness, and available training resources.
  • A fully customized training plan for a twelve week period.
  • Video instruction for your custom strength workouts, with new videos added regularly
  • Discounted in-person training sessions, if you are where I am now.

Option 2: The Regular Feedback only

  • A free initial consultation to help me determine your athletic goals, current physical fitness, and available training resources.
  • Regular feedback from me. This includes:
    • Instruction on filling out an online training log
    • Regular comments and feedback from me on your recorded training
    • Unlimited consultation via text, email and video chat.
    • Weekly check-ins from me

If you choose Option 1, your plan will come with detailed information about how to get more out of the workouts you perform. This includes a day-by-day breakdown of each workout, including the basic physiology backing each workout so you understand why each workout is a step toward achieving your goal. Additionally, your plan will include information on intensity (interval) training, strength workouts, injury prevention, rest and recovery, nutrition, how to write a training log, and how to reschedule workouts. Photo and video instruction along with charts and checklists are also included.

If you choose Option 2, you get all the personal support of Gold Coaching while you follow a training program of your own choosing.

Who should this level? This option is ideal for athletes with a specific goal that requires personalized attention. It is also a good option for anyone making changes to, or just beginning, a training routine, as the period of transition is a critical one for avoiding injury and developing good training habits.

Additional Details and Pricing

In some cases I may be able to modify either the Basic or Gold Level training programs to better fit your athletic needs or budget. Please be in touch with questions. I accept Venmo, Paypal and checks.

 

Non-customized Race Training Plans

I offer non-custom training plans for registrants of local running races. For every race, multiple versions of the training plan are available; athletes select their preferred plan based on recent weekly mileage and competitive goals. These are always free with entry into a participating race.

Running a race that doesn’t currently offer this option? I recommend Basic or Gold Personal Coaching!

If you want to run a race that offers one of my plans, consider the Franconia Notch Half Marathon in Franconia, NH, or the Middlebury Maple Run Half Marathon & 3 Mile Fun Run in Middlebury, VT, or ask your local race director to request my plans.

Are you a race director who wants to add value to your race experience, and draw in more athletes? Let me know, and I might write a series of plans for your race. (It’s free!)

Consultation

One-time or periodic consultation is available independent of or in conjunction with a personal coaching program. Consultation is best suited for athletes with one-time questions about training or who want occasional feedback but do not want the structure of a personal training plan, or for athletes with a Basic Level training plan who wish to address a specific question or goal in more detail.

Pricing: $60/hour for remote, $80/hour in person
