Ira H

I am Ira, an educated running coach and personal trainer, and I think that years of experience with coachees and customers with their different starting points, has created a good foundation for planning individual and systematic training. I am currently studying to become a professional coach in Varala, Tampere, Finland.

I am also a goal-oriented runner myself, and I know, that with versatile and comprehensive training, combined with a proper and healthy diet, you can achieve almost anything. Stress injuries have taught me that in addition to understand the importance of rest, it is important to find out the fundamental reasons behind them. Above all, the most important thing is to manage the big picture and bear in mind every parts of it, cause that is the key to achieve your goals. Finally the whole matters.

If you are a beginner or more competitive person, i'm the right coach for you. I'm happy to help you to get the best fitting coaching for you and your personal needs. I coach each person based on their individual level, background and needs. Your training will be tailored to fit your schedule. I am happy to help you to find the exactly right coaching for you.

With personal coaching service you will get a personal training program. I will design you an individual day-to-day training program to fit your goals and needs. In online coaching the communication takes place mainly through email and telephone, meaning that the customer can basically be anywhere in the world.

According to my coaching philosophy, and knowing that especially the endurance running requires a hard work, it's important to remember that there is also something else in your life than just running, training and races. When you stay healthy, regular and long-term training will be rewarded before long. When you have goal-oriented training, you don't have to make compromises as long as you remember to rest and recover enough. Also the timing of training is important when achieving the goals. Training should be fun and motivating, even though it isn't always as fun as usually. In rainy or slushy weather it doesn't feel so nice to go for run, but after training, the feeling is rarely annoyed.
