Any suggestions and/or recommendations?

Had a coach many many many years ago

Didn’t work out well. Left on good terms felt it was most likely my fault. Don’t think I know what I was looking for

How do you choose a coach?

Maybe I need to be more specific with what I am looking for. Or am I being too specific?

I’m willing to learn. Heck I finally got it right with March dot com by asking for exactly what I wanted.

Instead if being politically correct. and have now been happily married for 15 years

So here goes

My perfect coach would believe in HUGE amounts of base work in level 1 and 2. For 6 months or so. I’m almost 60 and find this helps me avoid injuries.

Of the last 1040 self planned workouts have missed 9 because on injury and competed each of the other 1031

Motivation is not an issue for me.

I’m retired and have many hours to train and recover

Believe in Approx 3 months of specific strengthening such as hills. 3 months of tempo, intervals and 1 - 2 weeks taper Looking at another 70.6 with eyes POSSIBLY late 2020 or sometime in 2021

Not in a hurry. I’ll let my fitness dictate what races I’m ready for


Thank you in advance
