Who this is for

If you can film yourself sprinting, we can coach you — wherever you are.

  • Athletes outside Edinburgh — anywhere in the UK or abroad, if you've got a phone camera and decent wifi, we can work with you.
  • British and international families overseas — ideal if you're at school abroad and want UK-qualified coaching without flying home for it.
  • Current Meadowbank athletes — add remote programming for the weeks between sessions, school holidays or off-season.
  • Clubs and squads — group programs for teams who can't all train at one venue. Contact us for squad rates.
  • Adult and masters athletes — expert programming that fits around work and life, without a fixed weekly slot.
  • Young athletes with a parent on board — programs and video review coordinated through a parent or guardian, so younger athletes get expert input safely.

How it works

1

Tell us about you

Sport, goals, current times if you have them, training age and what you've got access to — track, gym, grass or garden.

2

We build your program

A periodised sprint program written specifically for you. Never a template.

3

You train, we watch

Film your key sessions on your phone and send them across.

4

You get feedback

Technique notes and program adjustments based on what we actually see — not guesswork.

5

We keep adjusting

As you get faster, the program moves with you.

Why it works

Sprint technique breaks down in specific, visible ways — foot strike, shin angle, arm drive, shoulder position, how you come out of the drive phase. All of it shows up on video. It's the same slow-motion analysis we use in our in-person Sprint Analysis sessions at Meadowbank — we're just doing it wherever you happen to be training.

You don't need a coach standing next to you to get expert eyes on your technique. You need a camera, decent light, and someone who knows what they're looking at.

Questions

Do I need a track to follow the program?

No. Programs are built around what you actually have access to — track, grass pitch, gym or garden space.

How is this different from a downloaded training plan?

A downloaded plan doesn't know your training age, injury history or the sport you're chasing speed for. Yours is built for you, and it changes based on what we see on video.

How often will I hear from my coach?

Depends on your plan — from monthly program updates up to fortnightly video review and direct WhatsApp access.

Does time zone matter if I'm based overseas?

Not for Program Only or Program + Coaching — everything runs on video, so you train and review whenever suits you. For Full Remote Coaching's monthly call, we'll just find a time that works for us both.

Can I combine this with in-person sessions at Meadowbank?

Yes. Several athletes use online coaching to fill the gaps between in-person sessions — see Plans & Pricing for on-track options.

What age groups is this suitable for?

From early teens upward. For athletes under 18, all video review and communication is coordinated through a parent or guardian.
