Not sure if your marathon training is actually working?
Get an experienced pair of eyes on your training.
After payment, you’ll complete a short questionnaire and choose a time for your call.
You don’t necessarily need months of coaching.
Sometimes you just need someone who understands marathon training to look at what you’re doing, answer your questions and help you work out what needs to change.
That’s exactly what the Marathon Strategy Call is for.
60 minutes. 1:1. Focused entirely on your marathon.
This is a private 60-minute call where we’ll look at your current training, your marathon goal and the things you’re unsure about.
Maybe you’re wondering:
- Am I training enough?
- Is my target time realistic?
- Am I running my long runs at the right pace?
- What should I do about the training I’ve missed?
- How should I pace my marathon?
- Is my fuelling strategy right?
- Why do my marathons keep falling apart towards the end?
Or perhaps you’ve got a training plan but aren’t completely sure how to make it work around your life.
Bring the questions. We’ll work through them together.
How it works
Tell me about your marathon
Before we speak, you’ll complete a short questionnaire covering your running background, current training, marathon goal and the main questions you’d like answered.
That means we don’t waste the first 20 minutes of the call figuring out where you are.
Your 60-minute Strategy Call
We’ll meet privately online and focus specifically on your situation. Depending on what you need, we can look at:
- Your current marathon training
- Training structure and mileage
- Long runs
- Pacing and realistic race targets
- Fuelling
- Missed or disrupted training
- Tapering
- Race-day strategy
- Previous marathon performances
- How to adapt your training around work and family
This isn’t a generic marathon consultation. It’s about your marathon and your questions.
Leave knowing what to do next
The objective is simple.
By the end of the call, you should have much greater clarity about what you’re doing, what I’d change and what you should focus on next.
One payment. One 60-minute call. No ongoing commitment.
After payment, you’ll complete a short questionnaire and choose a time for your call.
Who is this for?
The Marathon Strategy Call is ideal if you’re training for a marathon and:
- You already have a training plan but aren’t sure you’re using it properly.
- You’ve missed training and don’t know how to adjust.
- You’re unsure what marathon pace you should target.
- You’ve struggled in previous marathons and want to understand why.
- You’ve got questions about long runs, pacing, fuelling or race strategy.
Or you simply want an experienced marathon coach to look at what you’re doing before you get to race day.
Who is it not for?
This isn’t ongoing 1:1 coaching.
It doesn’t include a personalised training plan, ongoing WhatsApp support or regular follow-up.
If you want ongoing support throughout your marathon preparation, my 12 Months to Marathon coaching programme is designed for that.
The Strategy Call is deliberately simpler:
One hour. Your marathon. Your questions. Clear direction.
Why work with me?
I’ve been coaching for over 15 years, and I’ve been involved in marathon running for over a decade, both as a runner and as a coach.
I’ve completed 16 marathons since the age of 35, run under three hours twice, and coached runners of different ages and abilities through their own marathon journeys.
One thing I’ve learned is that having a training plan isn’t usually the difficult part.
Knowing what to do when real life doesn’t follow the plan is. That’s where experience matters.
If you’ve got questions about your marathon training and want an experienced pair of eyes on what you’re doing, book a Strategy Call.
