Be specific where you can. "I want to get faster" is less useful than "I want to complete my first sportive under 5 hours by September." Specificity lets us build backwards from an outcome.

Training doesn't happen in a vacuum. Stress, sleep, and work patterns all affect adaptation and recovery. The more context I have, the better I can programme realistically rather than ideally.

Please answer honestly. This is strictly confidential and ensures your programme is safe and appropriate. If you have any doubts about your suitability to begin training, consult your GP first.

This section matters as much as any other. A good coaching relationship goes two ways and is built on honest expectations on both sides. Please be direct — there are no wrong answers.
