At first I was sceptical of whether online coaching would provide what I needed but I’ve got to say it worked really well for me.The app was really easy to use and it quickly became part of my daily routine to check in on what I had planned for the next day.The way you routinely flexed the plan to work around my calendar, goals and niggles was just what I needed.
When you originally asked about my goals, I wanted to stay injury free.Whilst there were knee issues and aches and pains on the way, I feel sure that I would have aggravated these if it hadn’t been for you keeping me on course and ensuring I did things properly, giving myself the time to recover when necessary.
As a runner (didn’t think I’d be calling myself that 18 months ago!) who struggled through C25K the wrong side of 50, I had no expectations, and the thought of entering races or running 10K plus couldn’t have been further from my mind.Your coaching and support continually increased my confidence and consequently my goals became more ambitious.Would I have been able to run a sub 50 minute 10K only 19 months from that first C25K run without your coaching, I think not!
