Do you like to set your own plan, but need some help structuring it?
Do you work odd irregular hours that makes a more formally structured plan more complicated, and need some help to set your direction?
Have you not had the season you wanted, and want to try to understand why? And then work out how to be better next year?
Are you struggling to work out how to fit everything together in training?
If any of these are you, then it could be that you need to chat with someone who can help you objectively and quantifiably analyse your training and races, and help you to design a Road Map Plan. From this plan, you can then set the specific sessions following your ideas. The Road Map provides you with the destination and the route; you need to decide how much to do each day and when.
