GARMIN Coaching

- Want the freedom to train on your own without a coach?
Then this program is for you!
I will teach you how to use your GARMIN to coach yourself!
Traditional online run coaching is antiquated.
Pre-designed training plans, even though they may be “custom”, have little value as they can’t adapt to the daily changes in an athlete’s schedule, life and physiological status.
Today’s state of the art running watches have the ability to constantly monitor an athlete’s physiological status, recent training activity and recovery 24/7 and recommend the optimal workout based on these factors every day.
Therefore designing and managing a training plan is not the best use of a coach’s time nor will it result in the most effective program for an athlete.
I will teach you how to use your GARMIN to coach yourself.
Though every athlete is different, the following aspects are foundational to my program and what I will work to achieve with all athletes:
- Becoming acquainted with your GARMIN’s functionality and building an understanding of the information it provides.
- Using GARMIN to calibrate your baselines of fitness, rest and perceived effort in order to properly execute a training plan and evaluate progress.
- Defining your running goals and determining which of GARMIN’s features will best help you achieve those goals.
- Developing a plan to work towards your goals using GARMIN to guide and monitor your progress.
- Embarking on the training plan, monitoring your progress towards your goals and adjusting the strategy or methodology as needed.

If necessary I’ll be happy to jump on a video call in between our regularly scheduled meetings to talk through any issues or questions.
