1:1 online coaching · in English or Italian
A coach in your corner, every week.
Fully custom 1:1 online trail running coaching - built around your races, your terrain, and the life that happens outside of running. Written by a CONI-certified coach in the Italian Alps. No templates, no junk volume.
What's included
Everything you need, nothing you don't.
A fully personalized training plan
Built around your goal race, terrain, current fitness, and the actual shape of your week - not a template with your name pasted on top.
Weekly adjustments, every week
Your plan reacts to how you're recovering, sleeping, and living - not just what was written four weeks ago.
Direct messaging access
Questions about a workout, a niggle, or a schedule conflict get answered between sessions, not just on call day.
Monthly video check-ins
A real conversation about training, racing, and life - not just a spreadsheet review.
Race-day pacing & strategy
Course-specific pacing, effort targets, and a plan for what to do when the race stops going to plan.
Fueling & hydration guidance
A practiced-in-training nutrition strategy so race day isn't the first time you try it.
Strength & injury-prevention work
Targeted strength sessions that support your running instead of competing with it for recovery.
Your race files, read by a coach
Race predictor, readiness score, and race report analysis - the same free tools on this site, but interpreted with you and folded straight into your plan.
Who this is for
Coaching is worth it for some runners and not for others.
I'd rather you self-select honestly than sign up and find out in week six. Here's the same test I use on the intro call.
Coaching makes sense if
- Your first ultra, or a step up in distance - 50K to 100K, 100K to 100 miles.
- A goal race with real consequences: a lottery entry, a qualifier, a trip you have saved for.
- A complicated life. Shift work, small children, heavy travel - a static plan can't survive that, a coach can.
- You have plateaued after two or three seasons of self-coaching, or you keep getting hurt mid-build.
Probably not the right fit if
- You want a plan and nothing else. Buy a good template, or use Trailia.
- You won't follow the plan. Coaching can't fix motivation.
- The cost would create real financial stress. It shouldn't.
- You want a coach who never says "run slower". I say it a lot.
Still unsure? Do you actually need a trail running coach? is the long version of this test.
How it works
From sign-up to week one.
Tell me about your goals
Fill in the short form below: your race, your experience, your current training. Takes about two minutes.
Secure checkout
Confirm your monthly plan through Stripe's secure checkout. Billed monthly, cancel anytime.
Complete your onboarding form
Straight after checkout you'll land on your private onboarding form - eleven short sections on your history, goals, health, and logistics. Answers autosave, so you can finish it later from any device using your personal link.
Onboarding call, then week one
I'll reach out within 2 business days to go over the details, then your first custom training week lands in your inbox.
The onboarding form
Real personalization starts with real detail.
"Custom plan" means nothing without the input to back it up. Right after checkout you get a private onboarding form covering eleven areas of your training and life - the same depth of intake I'd want if I were hiring a coach. It's saved as you go, so there's no pressure to finish it in one sitting: close the tab, come back on your phone tomorrow, and pick up exactly where you left off using your personal link.
Profile, history & goals
Who you are, your sporting background, races you've completed, and the goal race everything gets built around.
Health, injuries & test data
Past and current injuries, medical context, and any lactate, VO2max, or bloodwork results you already have.
Logistics & real life
Weekly availability, work schedule, family commitments, and access to mountains, gym, or a treadmill.
Nutrition, gear & mindset
Fueling experience, current equipment, and how you handle pressure, setbacks, and race-day nerves.
Everything above, every week.
This is founding-athlete pricing. I'm building a deliberately small roster and keeping the price low while it fills; it will rise for new athletes as spots go, and anyone who joins at this rate keeps it.
