Online Coaching With Lisa Smith-Batchen: How it Works

I utilize my numerous athletic achievements and 20+ years of coaching experience to train athletes of all levels and abilities. Whether you’re training to walk your first 10k, run your first marathon or triathlon… or you’re an elite athlete attempting to win a 100 mile trail race, my on-line coaching programs are customized to help you achieve your individual goals.

My bi-weekly workout schedules provide incredible variety and are designed around goals, personal life and work commitments. I listen to your desires and provide a plan that will help you reach your objective because my ultimate goal is to see you live your dream.

Before signing on with Lisa, please schedule (by email) a 30 minute phone consultation to review your coaching information, talk about goal’s and establish a great working relationship. The first phone consult of 30 min is free. and the student should be prepared to discuss any questions at that time. (Any phone call must be scheduled at least 7 days in advance.)

HOW IT WORKS: From Lisa…

    Louise Cooper with Lisa and Jay Batchen

    Every 2 weeks, I prepare a new training schedule for you based on your previous two weeks of training. At the end of your 2 week schedule, I ask you to copy the schedule and in CAPS tell me all you were able to accomplish, how you felt, HR information and anything else that will help me coach you to your potential. (Again, your schedule is based upon your ability, goals and dreams, as well as your family, work and other commitments.)

  • You are responsible for returning a complete update/recap of the previous two weeks to me, even if you were not able to complete all of the assigned workouts, and provide any other information you feel is pertinent to your training (ie: soreness, injuries, illness, etc.) This update/recap must be returned to me in order for you to receive your schedule for the following two weeks. If you need to send your update later than the due date, PLEASE inform me so I can plan accordingly. I do not send out emails requesting your update; that responsibility rests on your shoulders.
  • In each of your update/recap please at this time inform me of any travel or days off that your new schedule will need to accommodate.
  • You can email me with questions and I will do my best to respond within 24 hours (except Sundays and on weekends when I am running a race, crewing a client or assisting with race organizing). I am there for you every step of the way. Occasionally, my travel schedule might delay my response time, but I will always provide ample opportunity for you to ask questions before I leave.
  • I can also assist with nutritional needs during your training, as well as before, during and after your events. I will help you find the products that work for you and your goals.
