More FAQ’S…
+ What do I do next?
Follow the Timeline in the START section
+ What do I do if I feel I need more support?
Leave a message on the Facebook Training Group or work through the Decision Tree. If you still feel like you need help, just reach out however you feel able.
+ What do I do if `I feel I am ready to progress before the end of 12 weeks?
Let's book a call.
+ Am I able to strength train and still do my sport on the same day?
In short, yes. But it depends on a number of things - what the sessions look like, how your body recovers and what your overall training load looks like and this is all part of what you'll learn whilst working with us.
With our help you'll learn how to map out your training week to that you get the most benefit out of every session, whether it be in the pool, on the trail or in the gym.
+ What are our expectations
- With our guidance, fit in 2-3 x 45minute strength sessions a week
- Have the willingness to listen, accept and embrace the changes that need to be made
- Be honest and provide regular feedback, maintaining communication throughout.
- Engage in the extra content and opportunities provided.
All these will be key to optimising your results.
+ When working remotely how do you know if I'm training correctly?
Any good coaching program should follow a logical progression so that your form and movement can be monitored and corrected along the way.
By starting with the basics, you have to earn the right to lift heavy, move fast and run long.
By filming certain exercises, providing feedback on how things feel and asking when you aren’t sure, we can identify errors in technique and program regressions and progressions accordingly, allowing you to train with confidence.
