The Quiet Season
The Quiet Season is a group coaching programme for runners who want to keep moving forward through the winter. It’s designed for those targeting early-season races in 2027 (Spine and Arc runners are very welcome), as well as runners who simply value structure, accountability, and support during the darker months.
​
The name is a nod to the 'quiet' work that we do during this time - choosing to commit to consistent, unglamorous training that often involves solo miles, hours in the dark, the cold and the wet.
​
I've designed this programme to give you as many of the features of 1-1 coaching as possible at a price point which I hope will be accessible to more people. More below on what is and isn't included.
What's involved?
-
Initial 60 minute 1-1 consultation leading to a bespoke six month plan (hosted on Training Peaks) from September 2026 to February 2027 (or to match your race date)
-
Monthly group video call meets - social catch up, peer support and coaching input
-
Group WhatsApp for ongoing peer support and coaching questions
-
OPTIONAL: a half-way 1-1 meet, and your plan delivered in two three-month blocks
-
POSSIBLE: depending on where the group members are based, social runs may work - I'd do my best to attend too!
-
The group will be a minimum of six and a maximum of 12 runners
​
Not included:
-
Unlimited 1-1 WhatsApp support (always happy to answer a few questions, but support and coaching input mainly via the group)
-
Unlimited plan updates (I'll help with advice on tweaking your plan if anything changes unexpectedly, but complete re-writes won't be included)
-
If either of these is important to you, chat to me about 1-1 availability
Costs and commitments
-
I'd love you to be committed to the idea of community - you don't need to be glued to your phone, but open to being a supportive, friendly presence in the WhatsApp group, and perhaps to meeting others in the group for social runs if locations and paces align.
-
Video calls are likely to be a mixture of Wednesday and Thursday evenings - you don't need to make every single one, but a commitment to the idea of them would be great.
​
Cost: £300. If you'd like to add the half-way 1-1 and two-part plan, add £75.
