Holistic Running Coaching - Focusing on You!

 

01 — Tailored to You

No two runners have the same work and personal commitments, the same running history, the same injury history. So why should you have the same training? Each week is planned around your lifestyle, ability and goals with specific paces and intensities for every run so you know exactly how hard you should be working!

02 — Weekly updates

Life comes at you fast and your training often needs to be adjusted to meet your needs. I won’t give you months of training and say good luck - I provide one to two weeks of training at a time based on your current fitness and demands of your schedule which can further be modified.

03 — Educate and Empower

I don’t write plans and just leave you to it. I want you to know the reasons why you are doing each run so you can develop your understanding of the training process, learn more about your body and expand your running knowledge.

04 — On-going communication

No goal is ever too ambitious and no question is ever too silly. I am here to support and guide you in every step of your running journey. Coaching is a relationship and being able to openly communicate as needed is essential for success. As a Pondi Express’ athlete, you will have my phone number and e-mail ID and you’ll be able to reach out via phone call, text/whatsapp, e-mail, or app whenever you have questions.
