The coaching philosophy employed by Sportstest, is that we are all individuals, and we all respond differently to training.

Additionally personal commitments can often change, and projected training availability can decrease or even increase. Add this to our wonderful changing British climate (ever tried doing that long training session in ankle deep snow or horizontal rain?). Top this with the way you are feeling (ever wondered if you really should be training with that tickly throat or "heavy legs"?), makes deciding what training to do an absolute nightmare.

Unfortunately a 4 week “coached” plan, a 15 week “training package”, or a programme picked from a book, whilst better than having no structure to training at all, really won’t provide you with the optimal solution. They also don’t offer any flexibility where you need to make changes.

Sportstest only offers a bespoke service giving personalised plans . These are checked and updated weekly (or more frequently if your circumstances change), and are supported with unlimited communication with your coach* (please note there will be times when your coach may not be immediately available). All of this will be based on the most current scientific knowledge.


So with coaching from Sportstest you can be sure that you will receive a training programme which is:

• Specific to your needs, targeted towards your goals and aims.

• Flexible, when and as often as, you need.

• Uses your time to the best, allowing you to train smart and reduce the chances of illness, over training or injury.

• Updated weekly, but supported by unlimited contact with your coach via telephone, text, email or internet messaging.

• Underpinned by scientific principles, and on-going analysis of your training data (heart rate and/or power files).

In addition to this, coached athletes will receive additional discounts on their Sportstest sessions.

Anyone looking to achieve their potential and get the most from their training time can benefit from being coached by Sportstest. So contact us now or call 0333 900 3330 to get the most from your training time.
