The trail running online coaching session takes place via a one-on-one video call. Before the session, you’ll receive a short questionnaire so we can make the most of our time together.
Typical topics of discussion (selection):
- Race preparation: Training plan for a specific race, taper strategy, race-day plan, pacing calculation based on elevation gain and course characteristics, mandatory gear, and drop bag planning.
- Injury Management & Rehabilitation: Assessment of symptoms (ligaments, hamstrings, knees, soles of the feet), load management during rehab, transition back to training, prevention of relapses, coordination with physical therapy.
- Training Planning & Periodization: Weekly structure based on performance level and available time, intensity distribution, elevation gain progression, strength and stability training as a supplement.
- Altitude Training & Training Camps: Timing and benefits of altitude camps, acclimatization considerations, performance expectations at altitude, risk assessment.
- Equipment & Nutrition: Shoe selection based on terrain and foot type, use of poles during races, nutrition strategy for long runs, calorie planning for ultras.
- Running Technique: Uphill and downhill technique, ground contact and cadence, fall and fatigue prevention.
