Hi,
On-line coaching? Good, bad, ok, not worth it, what's the general view?
Some background to my question...
As someone who has been coaching themselves for several years, with some degree of success, I am now reaching a point where I feel I need some help to progress. Unfortunately, having coached myself for a while, I am concerned about handing over the reins to someone who does not know me. I am probably something of a control freak, which isn't going to help.
Do I need to take a leap of faith and just work through any initial misgivings I might have or should I be cautious and be wary that I might just be signing up to a weekly cut and paste instalment of an off the shelf training plan? I really don't want to waste important weeks of winter training figuring out that someone isn't really going to help me hit my goals any better than I could myself.
What have peoples experience's been? What are the things to look out for if going for a on-line coach? Is this an option used by many people looking to podium at races?
Thanks
