Frequently asked questions...
For any questions not answered below, or any further information, please send us a message using the contact page...
Do I need to be at a certain level of fitness?
No. We will discuss where you are currently, take that into consideration and create an individual program to suit you.
We work with all levels of athletes across a wide range of sports. Their goals range from gaining a new 5k PB to completing multi-day endurance events.
Do I need to live nearby?
No. That is one big advantage to this structure of training program. Video calls from wherever you may be, plus all your training sessions are delivered via online platforms, updated in real-time giving you access to your workouts and messaging anytime you need it.
How much time will I need to find?
We will take into consideration your current commitments with family, work and hobbies to find the most suitable structure that will integrate into your lifestyle.
By discussing your aspirations and goal events, we can determine a realistic time frame for you, along with a minimum and maximum availability within that plan.
Is there a minimum term?
All we ask is a minimum two month commitment upon working together, which includes the set up and screening, after that period there is no minimum term and becomes a rolling month to month basis.
As a female athlete, how is my training different?
Women are physiologically different to men and there are ways to adapt your training and nutrition so that you can get the best from yourself at any time.
We encourage our female athletes to track their menstrual cycle and look for patterns in how they feel, their response to training and recovery. This feedback is used to adjust your training and build a structure that suits you.
We hope you have the trust, and feel comfortable to talk openly as it will bring benefits not just to your training but your day to day life.
How is my training plan delivered?
Your online training plan is delivered via Training Peaks Strength sessions are delivered via Everfit. Both are directly linked to your coach for in-app messaging and questions.
Both apps are available to download on both Android an IOS, and desktop versions are supported. An invitation link will be sent to you, with instructions on how to setup your account and link with us as your coach.
What equipment will I need?
Training sessions are based around hitting the right intensity for you to manage your effort and training load. A heart-rate monitor connected to your GPS watch will allow you to monitor your efforts during sessions.
For your strength sessions, a minimum requirement would be a set of resistance bands and mini bands. Ideally some dumbbells or kettlebells would be beneficial for your progression, as would a suspension trainer, but these could be added further along the journey. Exercises are adapted based on the equipment you have available.
How will you help with my nutrition?
We work closely with our athletes to make small yet significant adjustments to their daily diet and training nutrition strategies to enhance their ability to train, recover, and compete at their highest level.
Through a food first approach, we will look at optimising the quantity, type and timing of certain foods in your diet. This approach will help maximise energy levels, training adaptations and body composition whilst also considering potential supplement strategies to maximise each element of your health and performance.
