How will we communicate?

• For Workout Feedback & Questions: Use FinalSurge to comment on your workouts, share your Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE), and describe how you felt during training. I will respond to your big workouts and long runs each week.

• Immediate Workout Questions: If you have urgent questions about pacing, reps, or technique, please text me, and I’ll respond ASAP. You can also put in the comments of the workout in FinalSurge a few days in advance, too, and I will get a notification.

• Injuries, Illness, & Events: If something comes up—whether it’s an injury, sickness, or unexpected life event—please comment or use the note feature in FinalSurge. For any upcoming travel or vacation, use the label feature to mark it.

• General Communication: You can text, call, or email me anytime. I aim to respond within 2 to 6 hours depending on the time/day.

• Monthly Check-Ins: Online athletes will have monthly check-ins scheduled, and in-person athletes (local to Albuquerque, NM) can have monthly meetups.

• Race Plans: I like to chat about race strategies before major races via text or phone.

• Race Review: I will ask you to respond to the following questions post-race (with opportunity for more, as needed )

  • What went well? What are you most proud of?

  • What was a key learning lesson, or something to keep in mind and adapt to for next time?

  • State-of-Health Checkin: Howa are you feeling mentally, physically, emotionally, and what are you looking forward to next? Any feedback for me or anything I should know about our training block?

• Group Updates: I’ll send out group emails periodically with discounts, highlights, and news.
