More about Personalized Coaching
Hey, Melody here! Thanks so much in your interest in personalized coaching. Jacob and I are so excited to tell you a little more about it. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us through our website or e-mail us at trailto100@gmail.com. We can’t wait to help you finish your first 100 mile race!
When you sign up for personalized coaching, you will recieve a CUSTOM, in-depth training plan – including running and strength – that will be delivered to you via google drive.
After receiving your workout plan, we (Jacob and I) will plan a zoom call at least once a month with you to talk about whatever we need to talk about, including race nutrition, race strategy, mental blocks ect. On top of this, you’ll be able to reach out to us via text as often as you need. Additional calls can be scheduled as needed. We also like to recommend other resources including books, podcasts, race reviews, instagram pages, blogs ect.
We want to make sure that you are 100% ready to go on race day, so we will help you put together a race plan before race day. We also want to make sure that your crew and pacers are ready to help you out. We can plan a pre-race meeting with the entire crew to make sure everyone is on the same page and ready to get you across the finish line.
We only accept a handful of athletes because we want to give you the time and attention you deserve. We believe in QUALITY coaching. Building a relationship with you is one of our top priorities as a coaches. Our athletes become some of our closest friends.
If you are accepted as a Trail to 100 Athlete, we promise to give you all the tools and resources you need to get that belt buckle and hopefully even help you grow as a person. But remember…only YOU can put in the work to make that happen. If you’re ready to start your Trail to 100, apply for coaching today. We can’t wait to see you cross the finish line!
