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 (running and strength) that will be delivered to you via google excel sheets. This plan will include a weekly schedule, monthly schedule, and yearly schedule. It will include an overview of your pre-season, in-season, and off-season as well.
Also included in your shared google excel sheet will be a tab to keep track of your race nutrition. We can work together to figure out what foods work for you an what foods don’t! Gut issues are the #1 reason people DNF their first ultra, so we want to make sure we are really dialed in here! We’ll also include a list of resources for you throughout the duration of our coaching that might include things like books, podcasts, specific 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! On top of that, we 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!!
