Pat, The fact that my online clients are able to follow a personalised training program set by myself is an obvious benefit however it can often be more basic reasons that are appreciated. One of my online clients (Victor Allis) is based in the Netherlands and is the CEO of an International company (Quintiq). Victor advised in a recent email that his involvement with me helps keep him motivated while he is travelling the globe: What works very well for me is to have you as my coach, who simply puts in "2:20 relaxed run" as the goal. On most days, that is enough stimulus to finish the 2:20 as I do not want to report "got bored after 1:30" or so. So, the fact that SOMEBODY ELSE sets the challenge helps me a lot. Of course, also knowing that that somebody else knows what I am doing is a huge incentive in itself. The Gold Coast Airport Marathon is an event that starting the ball rolling regarding my running career and I often enjoy reflecting back on my great victories in the 10k/Half Marathon and Marathon. (I never entered the walk) The Countdown has started and as of this Sunday (Dec 9) the 2008 Gold Coast Airport Marathon (July 6) will only be 30 WEEKS AWAY and 2008 will be the 30th time Australia's premier Marathon will be held. We are therefore 30 weeks away from the 30th! The longer your campaign, the more gradual your training workload will be and the risk of injury will be far less. Enlist me now as your personal online coach for the 2008 Gold Coast Airport Marathon/Half Marathon or 10k (30 week duration) and only pay my 24 week fee ($300). You will receive a program that will take into consideration your current level of development. The gradual increase in workload will go a long way towards enabling you to remain injury free. Once you receive your program you will have the ability to converse with me via email as often as you like and I guarantee a reply within 24hrs (public holidays accepted). Regardless of your 2008 running goals I congratulate you on being a runner. Not only are we enjoying quality of life but we are also great role models for the community and our children. We are leading by example! Cheers
Pat Carroll
Helen Bruce (online client) was given an online coaching gift voucher last Christmas. Helen followed the training I set her to the letter and as a result had a memorable 2007 Gold Coast Airport Marathon experience. Here is Helen's story. PCRG gift vouchers are also available. Gift vouchers do not have to be used immediately and are valid for 12 months.
I'm proud of the feedback noted on the TESTIMONIAL page on my site for it reminds me I am making a difference by helping runners achieve. I can help provide you direction! You could enlist me as your 'personal online running coach' for the event you are preparing for.
