Answers to Your Questions
How does this work
You can use the contact form on the home page to get in touch with me about your needs.
Alternatively I will get in touch with you when you fill up one of my questionnaires.
What do you charge for your services?
As the famous consulting response goes - It depends...on what you need.
My work with companies is paid for by the companies as per my contract with them.
For individual coaching (running, weight loss, fitness) assignments, I have a range of fees - which varies based on the level of engagement (training plan, revisions, 1:1 chat, diet discussions, gear selection, race selection, etc). As of 2024, it is ~ INR 17,000/USD 200 for a basic 16 week engagement for new trainees for a 10K/half marathon/marathon.
If all you want is just a customized training plan with no interaction over the duration of training, that is possible too. Just send me an email at runningcoach@outlook.com with some details I will ask for once you write in. It is available for a nominal fee.
If you are interested in a one-off discussion, you will pay me based on the time I think it will take to answer your query. Once you send me the query via the contact form, I will get in touch with you as per the details you fill in the form.
What are some things you have coached people for?
