Schedule an appointment, via this website, with your coach, either online or in person at our Seattle Coffee Shop location in Foreshore, Cape Town.

We will:

Review the questionnaire you filled out, covering medical history, running background, goals, and achievements.
Discuss your weekly schedule and available time for training, including both running and strength training.
Address any additional questions or concerns you may have, ensuring clarity and understanding of the training process.

After meeting your coach:

Receive a link via email to download the V.O2 app after meeting your coach.
Input information about your runs into the app to determine your fitness level and required paces for training sessions.
Access your weekly training schedule, including various forms of running training like interval, threshold, VO2 max, easy runs, and strength training.
Receive automatic updates to your schedule each week with the new program.
Sync your app with your smartwatch for seamless tracking; runs will automatically upload to your app.
Your coach can review and comment on your runs, and you can communicate with your coach within the app for any inquiries.
Your coach can assess your pace, heart rate, and identify areas for improvement based on your runs.

Join our exclusive, in-person group coaching sessions available throughout the week for registered coaching participants.

Each runner will receive their prescribed pace for the training session via the app.
The coach designs the workout, and runners ensure they maintain their designated pace.
If a registered runner is unable to attend a session, it will be included in their weekly schedule for them to complete independently, with insights and guidance provided by the coach through the app.

'Return to Run' group coaching session is held weekly to provide support, guidance, and motivation.
Road-runners group coaching session will focus on speed training, hills, and interval training, led by the coach.
Trail run coaching session will focus on running technique, speed, interval, and threshold training, at varying locations.

Weekend running crews are open to all, alternating between road runners and trail runners, with the coach's participation followed by coffee and chats.
