Alan Whitton

For more than 12 years I have helped clients reach goals, get rid of problems and develop themselves.

Common issues that crop up throughout working with people are Confidence, Self Belief and Perceived Worth, Overwhelm, Analysis,  Paralysis,  Lack of Focus, Authenticity, Work/Life Balance, Anxiety, Negative Memories and Emotions.

I use standard Life Coaching protocols;

  • NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming)
  • IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy)
  • Strategic Provocation,
  • Hypnosis,
  • Mindfulness
  • Common sense
  • Humour

And whatever else will help move you forward.

For some this will mean making progress in business, for some it’ll be getting rid of a nagging problem or memory.

For others, it’s winning at their given endeavours, whether, Business, Sport, Relationships or general life.

There’s nothing wrong about wanting things or wanting to get rid of something that doesn’t serve you.

Your ability to feel deserving is an often discussed point in our work together, I’ll help you with that.

When working with people lacking supportive beliefs about their own worth, I will help create them and an *active* regular practice for making these beliefs a cornerstone running through life in an ongoing way, – all in the face of life and its chaos and challenges.

Personal Strength, resilience and  having a  flexible approach are Ideas that permeate my approach.

As well as the pursuit of never ending progress – treating yourself as an ongoing project, balancing presence of mind with ambition.

Personal Flexibility – practising and knowing (two different elements) when to be hard on yourself and when to cut yourself a break, as well as other ways of shifting where your mind ‘is at’, and being able to move fluidly in between any required frame of mind.

A couple of things about my personal highlights in life:

  • Representing England for Karate
  • Winning English Heavyweight Thai Boxing and British Freestyle Kickboxing titles.
  • Working with London’s homeless on a simple soup kitchen.
  • Collecting medical/educational equipment and clothing and toys, and visiting and distributing it to AIDS orphans and schools in Tanzania.
  • Raising children.

I completely disagree with the philosophy you can’t teach an old dog new tricks – you just need to be more committed and prepared that it will take longer!

If any of the above resonates with you, drop me a message. If I can help you out with a few pointers I’ll gladly do so.

If after a discussion together you feel you’re ready to commit to working on your issues or focus, and we both make a good fit, then we can move into working together

Which RTG is for me?

Not sure which Remote Training Group is best suited to your specific needs? Don't worry we have got you covered, just answer a few questions below and we can give you our recommendation!
Are you training for an event that requires you to carry weight?

Let's learn some more about your event...

Does your chosen event or focus include inclines and declines?
Does your chosen event or focus require you to work across undulating rough ground, where foot placement can sometimes be rocky, poor ground underfoot?
Is your chosen event or focus under 12 miles?
Is your chosen event or focus on adventure type racing or assault course inclusion?

Your personalised recommendation...

The following recommendations are based on your answers. If you sign-up for any of our remote training groups (RTGs) one of our team will discuss your specific needs with you in more detail. This will ensure you get the maximum benefits to achieve your target.
Include progressive programming through strength and conditioning to improve your baseline S&C and robustness at a tendon, ligament, and muscular level. Move through running, cross country running and then fell running to allow the adaptations in your balancing muscles and coordination and thus agility. Advanced strength training to improve capacity to include training with weight over undulating ground when you are capable and efficient, to hill reps and weighted tempo sessions to build that strength lactate threshold and multi-system taxing above and beyond weight and duration of event.
Progressive running program to include cross training such as Bike work and strength and conditioning.
Inclusion of progressive Bergen weighted work on inclines at speed for tempo rate sessions to improve strength and lactate threshold, shorter duration rep work to improve VO2 max and power rate.
Quality speed work program with and without weight to improve your flat speed. Inclusion of some interval and tempo work on inclines. Cross country running to hit balancing muscles and improve coordination and overall flat speed. Later progress tempo into longer speed for endurance sessions.
Progression onto fell running with and without weight to improve strength and conditioning and power, thus allowing latter sessions to work hard off the beaten track to facilitate efficiencies at a coordination and balance level. Hill work with weight. Include cross graining on fitness days with weight or fell running, working hard on down hills.
Lighter inclusion into off road/track fell running to improve conditioning leg strength and balance. Progressive program to set training targets above goal weight and duration to improve capacity at higher rate.
Work hard at improving VO2 max and Lactate threshold levels, shorter power sessions to include hill reps, tempo work and strength and conditioning cross training such as inclusion of jump squats and burpees into interval sessions. Working towards speed over distance training between 1-3 miles x 4 with efficiency rate recoveries.
Increasing long slow distance, hill work and endurance sessions to allow for Mitochondria efficiency and increase. Progressing into heavy weighted hill running emphasis on incline and decline speed and efficiency midline rate. Progressing to be able to put the power down for extended periods. Strength and conditioning reducing in the latter period to take up the slack on increased capacity building.
Baseline strength and conditioning to improve flexibility, strength and coordination moving to deficit style training to explore capabilities before failure. Multi-disciplined training sessions to allow for multi system taxing.
