RF-COACH · COURSE-SETTING SERVICE
Courses built around
your terrain and runners.
Course design for individual athletes, clubs, teams and event organisers. Tell me what you want the session or competition to achieve, and I will help turn that brief into courses suited to the map and the participants.
Let’s talk about your course →Individual training · Group sessions · Competition courses
THE APPROACHWhat should the runner have to solve?
For training, I start with the skill or decision you want to develop. For a competition, I consider the experience of the runners, the discipline and how the terrain can create variety and meaningful choices. The difficulty needs to fit the participants.
My experience designing training camps and Maximus O Meeting connects course setting with coaching. I think about what the runner will notice, which options are worth considering and how the next leg changes the rhythm of the course.
Course of the Year 2024
The Maximus O Meeting middle-distance course I designed was named World of O’s Course of the Year 2024.

HOW IT WORKSFrom the first conversation to the course.
Define the purpose
Tell me who the course is for, what you want to achieve and when you need it.
Understand the map
Share the available map, terrain information and any restrictions that affect the design.
Agree the brief
We clarify the scope, availability, delivery timing and price before work begins.
Design & prepare
The agreed course design is developed, together with the layout and Livelox arrangements.
A PRACTICAL EXAMPLEStart with the skill you want to train.
For exit direction, short legs with changing angles can give repeated opportunities to prepare the departure. For route choice, I look for alternatives with real differences in distance, climb, runnability or execution. For relay preparation, forking can test whether athletes keep navigating when other runners are nearby.
The exercise still needs to fit the map and the athlete. We can adjust length, complexity and format so the session gives you something useful to practise and review.
