One coach. One plan. Built around you.

Every plan is built from scratch for one athlete. Life comes first. There is no qualifying time. The plan starts where you are today. Distances include 1500 m, 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra.

How coaching works

Final Surge is the training app where your sessions appear.

  1. Profile and assessment. History, strengths, weaknesses, and life.
  2. Consultation. Video call, about 30 minutes.
  3. Personalised roadmap. Blocks, peaks, recovery, and races.
  4. Training sessions. Final Surge workouts and notes.
  5. Weekly check-in. Feedback and targeted tweaks.
  6. Monthly check-in. Review training and recovery.

Calls sit roughly every six weeks, plus before and after key races. Related reading: How Stable coaching works

Questions runners ask

What is it? Individual Final Surge plans with weekly and monthly check-ins. Do I need to be fast? No. Why a human coach? Stazza sees what you log, reads your notes, and adjusts.
