The ADVANCED STRATEGIES OF RUNNING PROGRAMME is a minimum of 8 weeks. However if you feel you would like more time in achieving your results before moving on to THE HIGH PERFORMANCE RUNNER PROGRAMME then you can opt for my pay-as-you-go coaching sessions via my hourly PERFORMANCE CONSULTING.

'In-Person Consulting' Cancellation Policy

• Please inform Davina Ellis Running Coach, 24 hours at the latest of any session you cannot attend. Any cancellation after this period will be charged in full. This applies to In-Person Consulting Sessions.

Termination of Monthly Training Programme

• An athlete wishing to terminate their monthly training programme must provide at least 14 days’ written notice prior to the end of the calendar month. Where the required notice is provided, no additional termination fee will apply. The monthly training fee remains payable in full for the calendar month in which the notice is given, irrespective of whether the athlete chooses to continue using the training programme during the notice period.

• Where an athlete provides less than 14 days’ notice prior to the end of the calendar month, 50% of the applicable monthly training fee will be payable in addition to any outstanding fees already incurred.

• Termination does not cancel or waive any fees relating to training programmes that have already been prepared or issued, or any other outstanding invoices or charges incurred prior to the effective date of termination.

Programme Information & Amendments

• Athletes are required to notify Davina Ellis Running Coach of any races, events, holidays, changes to availability, training preferences or other relevant personal circumstances that may affect their training programme at least 7 days prior to the issue of their next two-week training programme.

• Information or requests received after this deadline may not be able to be accommodated within the forthcoming programme. Where changes or amendments are requested after this deadline, an administration fee of £25 per amendment may apply, at the discretion of Davina Ellis Running Coach.

• Davina Ellis Running Coach reserves the right to determine whether a requested amendment can reasonably be accommodated within the existing training programme and whether an administration fee is applicable.

Training Programme: Athlete-Requested Amendments

• Once a two-week training programme has been issued, any athlete-requested amendments to that programme will incur a £25 administration fee per amendment. 

• Athletes are therefore responsible for communicating such information within the required timeframe so that their training programme can be appropriately structured.

Payment Policy

• Full payment must be made and cleared prior to receiving any package or attending any session.

• Please see Payment Options for how to pay.

After the right package has been chosen for your running journey an invoice will be emailed to you. Once paid for in full, your running journey will begin.
