Endurance Coaching

We offer 2 different coaching packages to my running, biking, triathlon clients. In order to best communicate your training plan and achieve your goals for 2008 I will be using TrainingPeaks.com

You will be provided with a user name and password to access your coaching plans. TrainingPeaks.com has easy to follow instructions on site navigation and allows for an easy means of communication between coach and athlete. The cost of the site access is built into the cost of coaching. Due to schedule demands I will also be limiting my coaching clientele this year. Once capacity is met, I will no longer be taking on coaching clients. Level II "Assistance in Program Design" will not close as it is done on a meeting to meeting basis.


Level 1: Personalized Coaching Package

Level 2: Assistance in Program Design

Cost- $250 a month Includes:

  • In depth coaching plan complete with a day to day training plan on trainingpeaks.com (cost of training peaks is included in the monthly cost).  Training peaks can serve as your training log and is an invaluable tool for tracking your training volumes and intensities in a very easy to follow format (you will be assigned a username and password for your account). 

  • Initial one hour functional evaluation/ interview aimed at doing a thorough “needs assessment”.  The goal of this functional evaluation is to identify areas of strength/ weakness and vulnerability in order to maximize your biomechanics, reduce injury risk, maximize your gym routine, and ultimate training routine effectiveness.

  • 1 hour gym routine set-up appointment

  • Unlimited email access for your questions (typically responded to within 36-48 hours) *exceptions will include vacations, or work related limitations

  • 30 minute face to face meeting every 6 weeks used at the athletes discretion held at Central Mass PT.  (Appointment slots are subject to scheduling availability within my daily PT schedule at Central Mass PT.  It is recommended that scheduling be done 2 weeks ahead of time to maximize scheduling availability.)  This visit can be used for any of the following:
    • Deep tissue work- or manual techniques (preventive work)
    • Modifications/progressions to weight routine
    • Face to face meeting time to discuss training regime/modifications/goals/mental training
    • Bike fitting modifications
    • Run technique training sessions-with designation of drills specific to your need. 
    • Interpretation of physiological results

Level 2- Assistance in Program Design
This Level 2 program was designed for the athlete that like to design his/her own training season program and is looking for some advice or assistance in this endeavor.  Programs are limited to a maximum duration of 8 months due to the complexity in design and are typically completed and delivered in Microsoft Excel Spread Sheet format.  An initial meeting is mandatory in order for necessary background information to be gathered.

  • $65/ half hour in person ($90/hour)
  • $55/ hour consulting/modifications are not done in person
    • Athletes will be given unlimited email inquiries within the first week after delivery of plan to answer questions regarding the plan
      • Payments will be due upon receipt of invoice following completion of this plan
    • Once the 1 week period is over further support is available through the purchasing of the maintenance plan.
      • Maintenance plan  is available for $45/month and includes the following
        • Unlimited email questions to Mike regarding training after the first week

Information that should be brought to the first meeting-

  • Athlete history- Including PR’s for multiple distances with dates
  • Injury history- including specific injuries and dates
  • Training history- including detailed training logs for the last 6-18 months as well as a rough overview of the years past
  • Goals for the upcoming season (include a list of all planned races)
  • Fears and perceived weaknesses
  • Significant preplanned events that may limit training and that should be considered when designing plan
    (ie vacations, travel)
Payment is due on the 1st of each month (no invoice or reminders will be sent) and coaching plans beyond the paid date will be removed if past due--access to the site will also be removed if payment is over 7 days past due.

Availability is more limited in 2010 than in 09- so inquiry early is encouraged!—contact Mike directly at Mike@CentralMassPT.com to reserve your slot now! **Once capacity is met, athletes will be referred to other local coaches whom Central Mass PT endorses highly.
