Training PlansIn order to reach a goal it is important to have a structured training plan based on recent performances, time available to train, work or family commitments.
Our Plans can be tailored specifically to your target race or event.
The plans are usually 16 weeks long, there is a base phase, build 1 phase, build 2 phase and a peak phase.
The programme can also include specific strength resistance exercises for running which help prevent fatigue in a race and also help prevent injury.
Please contact Julie on 07789 511979 or email juliefairclough@aol.com if you would like more information. A peronalised training plan can help you achieve your dream, whether it be a personal best for a 5k race or to complete your first ever marathon.
I have recently coached and prepared plans for 2 athletes who, using my plans, qualified for and competed in the World Duathlon Championships in Spain.

I’d
like to say a big ‘thank-you’ for your help and encouragement with my
run training in preparation for the World Duathlon Championships held in
Spain last week-end. The schedules you devised for my winter and
summer training were tailored perfectly. Your support was instrumental
in enabling me both to qualify for the GB team and be competitive at the
World Championships. I really can’t thank you enough and would
recommend your services to anyone. I finished in 6 place
in my age group – a result I could only have dreamed of prior to
embarking on the training plans you provided. So thanks again for all
your help. The result means I’ve automatically qualified for the GB
team for next year’s World Championships, so I’ll be using your services
again :-)

I have been in Julie's training group at Stockport Harriers now for 2-3years. Julie has excellent
skills and knowledge to work with the individual needs of an athlete.
Julie saw my potential to qualify for the World Duathlon
Championship in 2011 and after qualifying to represent Team GB in my age group
in the early part of 2011, Julie put together a programme to improve my
results. In particular we needed to concentrate on my cycling so that I could
be within sight, or closer, to the faster cyclists so that my running skills
could be put to good use. Over a period of 7 months Julie nurtured my
bike/running transitions, including early morning 'brick-sessions', always
making sure that her schedule combined well with my bike/running aspirations.
Julie's task was to work with my previous background in
fell-running, cross country and road running, which is all about strength, to
help turn me into a more duathlon-based athlete, one who could run/cycle very
efficiently over the duathlon sprint distances. Julie’s coaching skills have
been paramount in helping me achieve the successful results in duathlon races
this year culminating in my Gold Medal win in The World Duathlon Championships
in Gijon, Spain in September 2011.
