Club members in good standing (current year dues paid) are eligible for individualized coaching.
There are two coaching seasons:
Winter: from Nov 1 until April 30
Summer: from May 1 until Oct 31
Each participant will consult with the coach to determine their running goals. Goals will include fitness objectives, performance objectives, specific race event objectives and any additional goals agreed on by the coach and the participant. The coach will also ask the participant for any limitations the participant might have. This could include existing injuries, schedule constraints or other items as determined by the coach and the participant.
The coach will then create an individualized training program utilizing the goals and constraints of the participant. This program will provide a weekly plan listing work outs and objectives.
The participant may request weekly feedback on their progress. The primary vehicle of the feedback will be email. The participant will send the coach their weekly status. The coach will review this, provide feedback and adjust the plan as needed.
The coach is only required to provide weekly feedback, but may, at the coach’s discretion, provide more frequent support. The participant can request a meeting with the coach from time to time. The coach can acquiesce to these meetings at the coach’s discretion.
The cost of coaching for each season (Winter or Summer) is $50.
The participant by their payment and signature (below) acknowledges the following:
