It’s important to note a few things when you join a coach. We understand that ‘life happens’ and there are days when, for whatever reason beyond your control, you may need to skip a session. Sessions are placed in a pre-determined order for good reason. The concept of periodisation and easy-hard days are extremely important. Skipped sessions cannot be made up by doubling up the next day. What is lost is lost, otherwise you are at risk of poor performance or injury. Always keep in mind that consistency and frequency are the key to maximising your gains. If you happen to skip a day of training, please let your coach know the reason, so that they know it is work / family / injury / fatigue related.
It is important to avoid additional sessions that are not on the programme. This too is counter-productive and lead to poor results or injury. It is therefore essential to follow the programme and not to change it. All races should be discussed in advanced so that there are no unexpected ‘roadblocks’ in the training process. Usually I require a list of the races you want to run for the next 6 – 12 months. They should be listed as either A, B, or C type races:
A – Goal race
B – Run hard-ish but not a goal race and there will be short or no taper for these races.
C – Not racing, but just include as a TRAINING RUN / social runs
(You can read more about A, B and C runs here)
Having goal races and objectives in vital because it enables your coach to formulate and plan your build-up. No goal means that you are aimlessly running for the sake of running (junk miles). Training is periodised, meaning that during various phases of the training programme, you will focus on very specific training, be it base phase, build phase, peaking phase, tapering phase and transition phase. The type of training changes and can consist of Aerobic, Threshold, Vo2 Max, Power, Strength Race Simulation etc. Athletes cannot train all these physiologic components at the same time, all the time.
