When you sign up for a virtual coaching package with Active4Life you do not get the standard one size fits all training plans that you find for free or in a magazine. You as a runner have individual fitness starting point, goals, training history, training preferences and most importantly training capacity. As a coach, I take into account your weekly life rhythm in order to best schedule your training so that it is realistic to fit it all in,maintaining the joy of running and not adding additional stress which will only hamper improvement.

Driven by passion and pursuing excellence, I am the eternal problem solver, always trying to find ways to help each runner run easier, stronger, faster and with more joy!


My training plans have a clear, simple, progressive structure built on 30 years competitive and 20 years coaching experience. No bells, whistles or AI and false quick success promises, only honest scientific coaching advice.

PREMIUM 1-ON-1 VIRTUAL COACHING

- Individualized and monitored Training Plan on Final Surge, Updated Monthly

- Additional plan revisions as required, because we know things don't always work as planned

- Regular Coaching Feedback
- Nutritional Guidance, including Race Day Fueling as required
- Race Strategy as required
- Unlimited Email/Whatsapp/Phone Communication


Your plan includes an initial consultation with the coach and a Final Surge account (shared online training log with automated workout reminders). Every training plan is customized to your schedule, goals, current fitness, and specific race and includes speed work, long runs, specified paces and distances, and clear workout instructions.

Running improvement takes time. Some progress might be seen right away, but you need to allow a few months or more of consistent training to unlock your full potential. For performance race goals I recommend starting a coaching plan 24 weeks before your goal race to allow for a complete training cycle.

If you are interested in coaching, I would love to hear from you!
