The read you can’t give yourself.

Sixty minutes with a coach who has already been through your last six months of training — the files, not the summary — and a written plan of action within 48 hours.

$150 60 minutes · your training reviewed before we talk

Two futures

Two ways to spend the next twelve weeks.

In one, you keep doing what got you here — the plan off a forum, the intervals you like, the long session you always do — and hope it adds up by race day.

In the other, someone who reads ski files for a living has already seen what your last six months actually were, and tells you the one thing that would change the most.

Same skis. Same hours. Different twelve weeks.

How it works

Book. Thirty seconds. You get a welcome email with three links.
Connect your TrainingPeaks. One click, sign in, tap Accept — I can now see your training. No TrainingPeaks? Send me your files or a Strava link instead.
Answer twelve questions. Your goal event, your hours, the one thing you most want answered. Five minutes.
Your read arrives — before we talk. I go through how you have actually been training, not how you meant to. Then we get on a call and skip the basics.
Sixty minutes, then a written plan of action within 48 hours. Specific. Referenced to your own data. Yours to keep.

What I actually look at

  • How much of your hard training was actually hard. Long sustained efforts and short surges look the same in a weekly total. They train very different things. I separate them.
  • Whether your fitness is climbing, flat, or quietly sliding — and how the last three months compare to the same stretch last year.
  • Whether your long sessions are getting easier deep in, or whether the last hour still costs you more than the first.
  • When you last tested yourself, and whether the numbers your zones are built on are still true. Most people’s aren’t.
  • Where your training doesn’t match the event you’re training for.

You’ll get the answers in plain English, with the numbers behind them if you want them.

What we can cover

Race selection · Season planning · How your week should be built · Fuelling · Skis and gear choices · Race-day execution · What to do about the thing that keeps going wrong

Not sure your question fits? It probably does. Book it and ask.

The plan, if you want it (+$100)

Most people leave the call knowing what to change. Some want it built.

Custom plan add-on — $100. A twelve-week plan built from your consult and your data — not a template with your name on it — loaded onto your TrainingPeaks calendar within a week of the call, with one round of adjustments in the first fortnight.

The honest limits: one goal event, up to twelve weeks. If your race is further out, we build the last twelve before it (or the next twelve — your call). Longer than that is coaching, and I’ll say so. Available for seven days after the call; after that it’s the store price.

Who you’ll talk to

I’m Matti. Twelve years at TrainingPeaks, 100+ athletes coached, 1,000+ training plans sold. I’ve raced endurance events at a national level and paid for bad pacing enough times to know what it actually costs.

I built a database of 229 cross-country ski races — terrain, climbing, altitude, how they tend to be won and lost. When you ask “which race should I do?” or “how do I fuel for this one?”, the answer comes from that, not from vibes.

Is this for you?

For you if

you have a goal event and real questions · you’ll connect your TrainingPeaks or send files · you want an answer, not reassurance.

Not for you if

you want a pep talk · you want to be told the plan you’re on is fine. (It might be. I’ll say so — and I’ll say what isn’t.)

Questions

A welcome email with three links: pick your time, answer the twelve questions, connect your TrainingPeaks. Do all three and I’ll have your read done before we talk.
Reply to the welcome email with a Strava link or your last three months of ski files. Same read, one extra step.
No — the call is still worth it. But the read is what makes this different from every other hour you could buy.
Book another. Each one stands alone — no packages, no subscriptions.
Yes, for seven days after the call. The offer is in your plan-of-action email.
Your answers and training data are used only to prepare your consult and any plan you buy; they aren’t shared or sold and are deleted on request.

Less than a race entry. More useful than the forum.

You already know what it feels like to start a race unsure the training was right. Sixty minutes to trade that for knowing.

If the consult turns into “I want this every week” — that’s coaching.
