Ultra running coaching involves much more than simply improving fitness and strength endurance, there will always be elements of nutrition, training environments, navigation, race tactics, checkpoint tactics, use of poles, mandatory kit and mountaincraft amongst other skills and knowledge that could improve your race experiences. This coaching package will cover all these and much more according to what you need to achieve your goals. The focus is very much on you and your welfare, not on the podium, we belive in loving the training and the journey to the start line, the race is then the icing that makes everything else worthwhile.

This coaching package looks deeper into the requirements of finishing longer and/or more technical races and brings together a small team of experts in their field to help with nutrition/hydration needs from a specialist sport nutritionist and biomechanics from a specialist FMS & Original Strength coach.

NUTRITION: Take your ultra performance to the next level with a personalised race nutrition strategy from a registered performance nutritionist and dietitian. In this 1:1, one-hour intensive session, we’ll plan your fuelling, including:

• optimal carb-loading
• pre-race nutrition
• in-race fuelling and hydration
• training & recovery nutrition

An evidence-based approach to gut training will also be discussed. After the consultation you’ll receive practical resources and an individualised nutrition plan for racing and training. Giving you the extra confidence and ready to perform your best. You will receive 1 session with Catherine every 6 months - first session after 4/5 weeks on programme.

MOVEMENT SCREEN: You will be sent instructions for an online screening of your biomechanics. This will look for weaknesses in stability, strength and flexibility and identify areas to target for balance and strength improvement. Even small imbalances can cause issues over the course of a long race and this will address your natural weaknesses into a bespoke strength & conditioning programme for your specific needs. You will receive 1 session every 3 months with Coach Jackie, a highly qualified Functional Movement Screening coach .

Once we establish your goals, current fitness and target races via an onboarding session, a bespoke training programme will be created and sent via a Premium Training Peaks account where you will receive session-by-session feedback.
