Training and feedback
Understand what your training is showing.
Your programme is delivered through TrainingPeaks. A free Basic account is sufficient, while Premium is optional. A compatible GPS watch or device is required.
Logged training is normally reviewed within 48 hours, Monday to Friday. Every Monday, you receive a detailed personal report covering your recent training, consistency, progress and areas requiring attention.
Zones and testing
Train with appropriate direction.
Where appropriate, Telani prescribes remote tests to establish or update your training zones. If it is too early to test, initial zones can be estimated using your history and available information, with testing introduced later.
Strength training is included in every coaching programme.
Preparing for your first race
You do not need to be experienced before you contact Telani.
Your programme provides a clear path from your current position towards your event. You do not need to already be fit—you need enough time to prepare responsibly and a willingness to follow the process.
Beginning earlier provides more time to build progressively. Some events may require longer than the initial 12-week commitment.
“Coach Telani took me from uncertainty to confidence, and from surviving long runs to actually enjoying them. Her impact went far beyond race day—it changed how I run and how I see myself as an athlete.”
