Welcome to One to One coaching.

Our team of nine coaches work by constructing a day by day training program bespoke to you, taking into account your goal race and work/ life commitments. You do the training and at the end of each day or week we go over everything with you. We then adapt the following week's schedule based on your feedback so that every day/ week of your training is optimised towards getting you in the best shape possible to achieve your goals.

Initially we ask you to fill out the form below. Once you have submitted it, we will contact you with our initial thoughts and get you to give us as much detail as possible about your past racing and training experiences, daily life, strengths, past injuries, goals and ambitions.

Based on the information you have provided your lead coach will then schedule the initial call, to gain more insight and to openly discuss your program and within 24 hours, you will receive the first fortnight of your training plan. Your lead coach will have the majority of the contact with you through whatsapp, email & skype/ phone calls. Our other coaches will provide input towards your plan and communicate back to your lead coach. In this way, you benefit from combined experience and knowledge behind the construction of your bespoke plan.

Everything we send to you is based on the information that you give to us. No two training plans are alike because your goals as a runner and available time to train and race are different from the next person's.

The coaching service you will receive is highly personal. You will receive a training plan with detailed notes regards training (or rest!) for every day you are with us. The plan will be updated as often as required based on email communication between you and us. Skype calls will be included as often as necessary for you to go over anything you wish with us & in order for us to stay as close to you and your plan as possible.

All coaching clients get priority entry to Centurion events. Entry is available up to 6 weeks up to any of our events even if general entries are sold out.

All coaching clients also receive a 15% discount on any purchases made at the Centurion Running online store.
