Question 1

I've been burned by a bad coach or templated plan before. How is this different?

Accepted Answer

Everything is transparent and tied to your numbers. You'll always know why you're doing each session and what we're fixing. If something isn't working, it gets changed — not defended. The free call is your chance to bring your training data and ask hard questions before you commit to anything.

Question 2

I've already run a few marathons. Is coaching right for someone who isn't a beginner?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly who I work with. Most of my athletes have run 2–4 marathons and are stuck at the same time. They don't need to learn how to run — they need someone to find the specific thing capping their results. Usually it's fueling (too few carbs per hour). Sometimes it's pacing (going out too fast). Sometimes it's something structural you'd never find on your own.

Question 3

What if I need to miss a week or I get injured?

Accepted Answer

You've got a demanding job and a family — life happens. That's exactly why a real coach beats a static plan. I adjust your training around work travel, illness, injury, and family commitments in real time. You never feel like you've fallen off the plan, and you still arrive at the start line ready.

Question 4

How does online coaching actually work?

Accepted Answer

After your free call, I build your plan and deliver it through TrainingPeaks, which syncs straight to your Garmin, Coros, or Apple Watch. You'll see heart rate zones and pacing targets on your wrist. Weekly video check-ins and direct messaging for real-time adjustments.

Question 5

Do you coach athletes outside of Australia?

Accepted Answer

Yes — online coaching works across any time zone. I currently coach athletes across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and beyond.

Question 6

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

All plans are month-to-month with no lock-in. That said, the best results come from a full training cycle — most athletes stay 12–16 weeks to actually break through their plateau and race a PB.
