Consistency before complexity
We establish a repeatable aerobic rhythm before layering in more volume or intensity.

THE APPROACH
Structure where it helps.
Flexibility where it matters.
Your training is shaped by your history, goals, recovery, schedule, and response—not by a generic template.
Decisions with context
Workout data matters, but so do sleep, stress, confidence, schedule changes, and how the effort actually felt.
Adapt without drifting
When life changes the week, the plan changes with it—while the larger progression stays clear.
WHAT COACHING CAN INCLUDE
A complete view of your running.
Personal training plan
A week-by-week plan designed around your current volume, available running days, race calendar, and progression guardrails.
Weekly check-ins
A consistent space to review completion, recovery, confidence, discomfort, and what needs to change next.
Run-data review
Review of activity data from COROS, Garmin, or structured uploads to spot patterns without overreacting to a single run.
Race-goal planning
Goal setting, checkpoint review, pacing strategy, and honest recalibration as fitness develops.
Flexible adjustments
Practical alternatives when work, travel, weather, or recovery disrupt the original schedule.
Coaching conversations
Clear decisions, useful notes, and agreed next actions—so you always understand the purpose behind the week.
Running-specific coaching for adults. Strength-training services are not currently offered.

ABOUT IRIS
Experience from both sides of the training plan.
I’m Iris—a lifelong runner, Six Star finisher, and 3:12 marathoner. I know the satisfaction of ambitious goals, the patience of rebuilding, and the reality that training rarely happens under perfect conditions.
My coaching style is attentive, pragmatic, and collaborative. I want athletes to understand their training, notice their own patterns, and build progress they can carry forward.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you inquire.
Do I need to be training for a marathon?
No. Coaching can support consistency, a first race, a faster 10K or half, a marathon goal, or a return to structured running.
What if my weekly schedule changes often?
That is exactly why the plan includes priorities and alternatives. We adjust the week without losing sight of the larger goal.
Do you coach in kilometers or miles?
Both. Plans and data views can use either system, and key information can be shown in both.
Do you provide strength programming?
No. This service is focused specifically on running, race preparation, recovery awareness, and training decisions.
