Coach

Jernej Markovc

I'm a former professional athlete with a background in rowing, cycling, and running. I competed in rowing from age 10 to 23, became a European Junior Champion, World Runner-Up, European Championship bronze medalist, and twice won the NCAA National Championship in the U.S.

Today I bring that endurance background into running coaching, including road, trail, and marathon preparation. My own marathon best is 2:29:41.

FAQ

Quick answers before we talk.

I want to run but do not know where to start.

Reach out with your current situation and goal. If you are a complete beginner, I can help you start with a simple beginner plan.

Do I need a GPS watch?

No. A GPS watch helps with tracking and planning, but it is not a deal-breaker. Training can still be structured without one.

How often do I have to run?

It depends on your goal and lifestyle. Coaching is tailored to you; prebuilt plans vary by distance and ability.

How will I receive my plan?

Plans are delivered through a spreadsheet or email, with TrainingPeaks integration planned for the future.
