Questions

The things athletes usually ask.

How do I get started?

Fill in the Get in touch form and choose the plan you're interested in. I'll reply, send you the athlete questionnaire and a secure payment link, then build your plan from your answers.

Is ongoing coaching support included?

No. This is a one-off, personalised plan. If you'd like regular feedback and calls as you train, have a look at the monthly coaching packages.

Do I need a power meter or special kit?

No. A sports watch or app that records your sessions is enough. A heart rate monitor helps, and a power meter is useful but not essential.

Can I get a refund?

See the refunds and cancellations policy. In short, you can cancel within 14 days, but not once your full plan has been delivered.

What if I get ill or injured?

Get advice from your GP or a physio first. My plans aren't a substitute for medical advice.
