Coaching

 1 week testing with metric analysis and personal consultation by Coach Mike Chadwick on objective measures. This begins on the first day of the programme and is known as TEST WEEK.  Test Week is repeated every 4 weeks to adjust training.

With your metrics taken during Test Week, you are provided with 4 weeks bespoke training with 4 sessions a week prescribed.  Accurate prescription is key and the stimulus provided during each session, promotes adaptation towards your goal.

 Exercises are prescribed with your current ability, current climate and intend aim in mind.  Each session your exact weight, reps, sets, tempo and rest are prescribed for each exercise. This ensures you never under or over train.

If your aim requires an improvement in aerobic capacity, then you will also be provided with the exact time, distance and speed to do so.  This is worked out to the exact meter and the exact second, using any training modality (run, row, cycle, erg)

  Each block lasts 5 weeks and is repeated x3 (Block 1, Block 2 & Block 3).  Your programme develops and adapts as you develop and adapt.  Progression is not linear and although the aim may remain the same, how you get there will change 

You will also be given a personalised loaded march and additional running sessions if required.  The exact time, distance, speed and weight will all be prescribed to ensure you never have to guess and accumulative stress and fatigue are both monitored.

 Access to a closed mobile app for support and exercise instructional videos. You can track progress, message your personal coach and upload pictures and metrics on there.  Each block is sent as PDF which can be printed or saved and used offline. 

 After every block we reflect, analyse and adapt.  You are given access to monthly objective analysis to show trends and percentile increase/decrease on performance.This provides rationale to our shared aim. I will be ruthless in reflection.

Information shared between coach and athlete is completely confidential.  You will need to sign a GDPR to allow me to use your information to build your programme.  I need to know you personally along with your current ability to help you evolve.

This guide gives you many of the tools required to increase awareness of calories, your caloric intake and how you would go about manipulating both the quality and quantity of them to fit with your own personal goals.  The quality and quantity  you consume is critical.

You can increase your physical performance capability through physical training, and reach your biological tipping point, but only if it is supported by the correct nutrition.  You will receive multiple Red On Recipe books to work in unison with your ‘Guide to Calories’. 

Negotiating your nutritional landscape is of critical importance. The number of people eating out and ordering in due to the current climate, is increasing  whilst home cooking is in decline.   Multiple guides will help you navigate eating out and ordering in.
