When you purchase a TMR Coaching plan, you’re getting a highly specific programme to prepare for your chosen goal. However, this plan doesn’t adjust after you’ve applied it to your account, and it won’t account for any unforeseen events like missed sessions or needing to change workouts around. Whilst you can make adjustments to your plan yourself, if you’re in doubt about how to better personalise your plan, you’ll appreciate an individual coaching contract instead.
As a coached athlete, you’ll also be able to communicate with us freely, ask us additional questions, and conduct regular reviews of your progress. These then enable us to personalise your plan even more.
Finally, if you’re a coached athlete, you’ll also benefit from specific race prep such as timing and nutrition advice, race specific workout sessions, and more. Learn about our coaching services.
