Tailored plan was perfect for me and coach was always available to talk about things
Very clear process for communicating training plan and providing feedback
Training plan easy to understand and follow
Proactive reaching out to check on how I’m doing and feeling
The plan was clear to follow, a challenge but manageable. I was physically and mentally prepared on race day, executed the plan and finished in a time and way that I’m really pleased with.
A very comprehensive and well planned training plan, with good response and feedback, adjusting the plan if and when needed.
Ensured good understanding of my running goals – I always felt that these were clear and that the plan was aimed at achieving these
It was good to hand over the reins to Steve and just follow the training set by him. It was good to communicate the ups and downs in training and to share the worries before race day and gain some confidence from the reassuring tips throughout the build-up
Always available, clear structure, great mentorship
Clear, understandable training (and the reasons for doing it) and good to have the feedback
Always on hand to answer any question that might arise.
I also had a lot of communication with Steve before and after the race, which was great and he gave me lots of useful advice. He was always willing to answer any questions I had and helped me feel calmer when stress levels were starting to rise!
Taking into account my opinions and plan the training accordingly. It was working together/ mutual planning. Good communication and talks throughout the build up and talks that settled the nerves before the race
Check-ins were consistent and always right on time (when some reflection was called for)
