More about Personalized Coaching
Hey, Melody here! Thanks so much in your interest in personalized coaching! I’m 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! I’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.
I want to make sure that you are 100% ready to go on race day, so I want to help you put together a race plan! On top of that, I 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!
I only accept a handful of athletes because I want to give my athletes the time and attention they deserve. I believe in QUALITY coaching. Building a relationship with you is one of my top priorities as a coach. My athletes become some of my closest friends.
If you are accepted as a Trail to 100 Athlete, I promise to give you all the tools and resources that you need and that that I can offer you to get you 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!! I can’t wait to see you cross that finish line!!
