However far you're going

The same four things, every time.

01

Map

Where you actually are, what your week actually looks like, and what your race actually demands: its distance, its terrain, its cut-offs. Then a plan built backwards from that.

02

Build

Endurance and the durability to still be running well late in the day. No junk kilometres to make a number look good.

03

Fuel

The one that decides your race. We find out what your gut can take, on purpose, and rehearse the whole race-day plan end to end before race day. Not on it.

04

Execute

Pacing, aid stations, kit, and whatever your specific course demands. Climbing, descending, technical terrain, or just holding pace on the flat. The day itself, planned and practised, so nothing about it is new.

What you actually get

Not a PDF. A plan that keeps up with you.

Same inclusions no matter which distance you're training for. Here's everything that comes with it.

  • A personalised training plan

    Built backwards from your race, your week and your body. Not a template with your name on it.

  • Strength and conditioning guidance

    Runs alongside the running plan, not bolted on as an afterthought.

  • A complete fuelling and hydration strategy

    Including your sweat test and every rehearsal. Tested in training, not guessed on race day.

  • A weekly one-on-one coaching call

    About 60 minutes, every week, for the full four months.

  • A weekly check-in I actually read

    Sunday night, every week. Your plan changes when your week does.

  • Ongoing messaging support between calls

    Questions don't wait a week for an answer.

  • Pacing and course-specific guidance

    Whatever your race actually demands, worked out and practised in advance.

  • Gear and equipment guidance

    What you actually need for your specific race. Not a generic packing list.

  • A continuation plan if your race falls later

    The four-month block ends. The coaching and the guarantee don't, right through to race day.

  • A final race-week preparation call

    Before your event, so race week itself holds no surprises either.

  • A post-race recovery plan

    What happens after doesn't get left to guesswork.

  • Lifetime access to your plan and resources

    Your own private hub, not something that disappears when the block ends.

  • A full intake before anything gets written

    Where you're actually at, what your week looks like, what your race demands. The plan gets built backwards from that, not handed to you first.

  • Deliberate over-fuelling sessions

    Pushed toward your actual gut ceiling on purpose, so you know exactly what you can take before race day forces you to find out.

  • Four to six full race-day rehearsals

    The whole plan, pacing and fuelling and all, run end to end before it's the day that actually matters.

  • Training built around what's actually true about your body

    Menstrual cycle, menopause, postpartum, low testosterone from under-fuelling, asthma, iron status. Accounted for, not bolted on.

  • A downhill and technical-terrain progression

    Introduced deliberately from week five, not left for you to work out on race day.

  • Nutrition check-ins during your heaviest weeks

    So your eating goes up before the training does, not after you've already crashed.

  • Training that pauses when you need it to

    Injury or illness pauses the plan and the guarantee. It doesn't just keep running without you.

What you'd actually receive

A sample week from a Skippa Coaching plan.

Week one of a real sixteen-week build. Every plan starts easy and builds from exactly where you are.

TueQuality — 45 min
ThuEasy — 40 min
SatMid-long — 50 min
SunLong run — 70 min

Total: 3 hours 25 minutes for the week. By week 13, the long run alone builds to five hours, matched to exactly what your race demands.

Built for your body, not a generic one.

Most plans have to assume a standard body, because that's what lets them scale to hundreds of people at once. This one doesn't have to, because it isn't trying to.

Menstrual cycle. Menopause. Coming back to running postpartum. Low testosterone from under-fuelling. Asthma. Iron status. These aren't footnotes bolted onto a template built for someone else. They actually change what gets prescribed, and when.

If your body doesn't match the assumption most plans make, that's exactly who this is built for.

Book a call.

We'll work out what you actually need. Got a plan already, whether you found it online or built it yourself? Bring it and I'll tell you what's missing.
