PERSONAL RUNNING SUPPORT
Forty-five minutes. One real problem. A clear week you can actually follow.
This is not a motivational speech
A one-to-one running call is a working session.
We look at what you are doing, what keeps going wrong and what you can realistically change next.
The goal is clarity.
Before the call
You complete a short questionnaire at least one day before the meeting.
The useful questions are practical:
- How many days can you actually train?
- What has your running looked like during the last four weeks?
- What is your longest recent run?
- What goal or race matters now?
- What normally stops you from following a plan?
- Are there current pains, previous injuries or health concerns?
- What do sleep, stress, routes and climate look like?
Garmin or Strava data can help, but you do not need perfect data to have a useful conversation.
The 45-minute structure
| Time | Focus | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 0–5 minutes | Define the problem | Agree on what would make the call valuable. |
| 5–15 minutes | Understand your background | Current running, available days, history, sleep and stress. |
| 15–25 minutes | Find the main limiter | Too much intensity, poor consistency, unrealistic volume, heat, recovery or schedule. |
| 25–35 minutes | Build the week | Place easy runs, quality, long run, strength and rest. |
| 35–42 minutes | Choose next actions | Maximum three priorities. |
| 42–45 minutes | Confirm the plan | You repeat what happens next and when to adjust. |
What we may discover
Every run is too hard
The plan needs protected easy running, not more motivation.
The week has no structure
Hard sessions collide, the long run moves randomly and recovery disappears.
The goal is ahead of the base
The next block should build consistency before adding race-specific pressure.
The plan ignores real life
Training days need to move around work, family, travel and Thailand heat.
What you receive after the call
You receive a short written summary with the key decisions.
- Your main training problem in simple language.
- A suggested weekly structure.
- Up to three concrete actions.
- Clear effort guidance.
- Rules for adjusting when recovery, pain, heat or life changes.
The call is not medical treatment, injury rehabilitation or a guarantee of results. Current or complex pain should be assessed by an appropriate health professional.
Who the call is for
It is designed for beginners, everyday runners and runners over 35 who want a realistic direction.
It is especially useful when you keep repeating the same bad week, do not understand your Garmin data or cannot make a standard plan fit your life.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need Garmin or Strava for the call?
No. Data can help, but your recent running, available days, recovery and goals are enough to begin.
Will I receive a full training plan?
The one-to-one call includes a suggested weekly structure and written next steps. A detailed multi-week plan is a separate service.
Is the call suitable for injured runners?
It is not injury diagnosis or rehabilitation. Current, persistent or complex pain should be assessed by a qualified health professional.
Who benefits most from the call?
Beginners, everyday runners and runners over 35 who feel stuck, train too hard or need a week that fits work, family, travel and heat.
Ready to talk through your running?
Bring your current week, your Garmin data if you have it, and the problem that keeps repeating. We will turn it into a small number of practical next steps.
