PFM Coaching uses a dedicated coaching platform that connects to most watch brands including Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Coros, Wahoo and also Strava.  In the case of Coros and Garmin the plan and structured workouts will be uploaded directly to your watch.
There are many benefits to working with a running coach both in person and also, with todays technology, remotely.  Here are some of the main benefits:
  • Personalised Training - A running coach will consider your specific running level, running goals and circumstances  developing a plan that will cater to your specific needs and individual goals.
  • Improved Performance - with guidance from a running coach you will learn proper running technique (I offer online gait analysis), how to train at appropriate intensities and how to fuel your runs resulting in improvements in pace, and endurance.
  • Reduced Injury Risk - A running coach will monitor your training load and fatigue levels, adjusting as necessary to maintain appropriate training levels.  This combined with helping you to run with proper form will minimise your risk of injury.
  • Accountability & motivation - A running coach will help keep you on track with your training plan, recognise your achievements and help you reframe setbacks to make them work for you.
  • Expert support & advice - Have a question, a running coach can give you an informed answer or will be able to look into it for you.
  • Flexibility - Online running coaching platforms now offer a fantastically flexible system to allow effective run coaching even from a distance with scheduling, communication etc all just a click away.
A running coach can provide focus helping you achieve your running goals sooner in a more enjoyable way!
What better way than to start your running journey than guided by a fully qualified coach who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, monitor how you respond to training and help guide you so that you avoid the many mistakes that beginner runners often make resulting in injury and frustration.
At PFM Coaching I offer a completely free, no obligation consultation via google meet.  During this consultation we can discuss your running journey including where you are now, goals you would like to achieve and how PFM Coaching can help you progress to achieving those goals.  At this point I can advise which option I feel better fits your needs.  You an book your free consultation HERE.
As a fully qualified coach I can help identify areas of your training that can be improved, introduce new training methods that you may be unfamiliar with and structure your training more effectively to help take you to that next level in your running.
All coaching and training plan prices are clearly shown on the relevant website pages.  There are no hidden additional costs involved and everything outlined on the sign up page is included.
100% and this is my preferred distance to coach.  I hold the UESCA Ultra Running Coaching certification and am also an experienced ultra runner myself having completed single stage events up to 200 miles and multiday events of 235 miles.  I can combine the science of training with personal experience of what it feels like in reality.
