Coaching

coaching1Why use a coach when so much information already exists on the subject? Just read up on how to train effectively and apply what you learn, right? Are you sure downloading a training plan will lead to improvement?

Understand that there are patterns to training methods available to the masses that are easy to understand, but they are only patterns. Interpreting these patterns and applying them to your specific needs as an individual athlete is another matter. Just go participate in a race or local hammerfest and you will quickly know what you need to work on. But how hard? How much? How long? These are questions good coaches can answer.

More than that, a good coach is available to talk about how your training is going and make the necessary modifications to your training load that will keep you from cooking yourself. A good coach will keep  you accountable to your training plan on days you need to push and days you need to relax. Ultimately, a good coach will be your biggest fan, constantly and consistently encouraging you to meet your personal goals.
