Overview

How Our Run Coaching And Programming Works

Programming and coaching for runners is a combination of science and art. We use scientific and proven principles in combination with what we know works best for our runners in order to achieve an optimal personalised outcome that aligns with your goals.

In order to create a true personalised running program, we get to know you. In our initial appointment we will discuss your specific goals, injury history, running and training history, what you may have tried in the past and what you found works best for you. We will also explore other wellness factors such as sleep, diet and stress to maximise the benefits from training and reduce the risk of injury.

PEAK’s running programming utilises the Training Peaks platform to allow you to view your program on your computer and mobile device, communicate with your coach and download your training program to your watch. In order to get the most out of your personalised running program we strongly recommend that you have a device that is compatible with the Training Peaks program. Here is a list of compatible devices.

We will run through the specifics of setting up your Training Peaks account, how to sync it to your watch and how to communicate with your running coach via the program. Your running coach will work with you to create an initial 4-week training program that you will access on Training Peaks.

We will work together as a team to set you up for success and for you to get the best out of your training – a big part of this is our regular contact and using feedback and data to inform your programming. We will schedule regular check in’s via skype, facetime or e-mail so that we can adjust your program and provide ongoing coaching and feedback.

During the final check in for the month, we will discuss your progress against your goals and build the next 4-week program. This process will repeat based on your goals.
