FAQs
After signing up you're added to the Final Surge app where your programme is loaded. You complete your sessions, your GPS watch syncs automatically, and Wayne reviews your data. In Ask the Coach, you ask questions inside workout comments. In Personalised Coaching, Wayne analyses every session and contacts you with feedback plus scheduled video calls.

How does online run coaching work?
A GPS watch is recommended so Wayne can see your pace, heart rate, and training load. Most athletes use Garmin. A basic model is fine to start — you don't need anything expensive.

Do I need a GPS watch?
What distances and races does this cover?
3
All distances — 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultramarathon — on both road and trail. Whether it's your first 5K or a sub-4-hour marathon target, Wayne builds the programme around your specific goal.
Both programmes bill fortnightly with no fixed term. Wayne recommends a minimum of 12 weeks to see real results. Most athletes stay 3–6 months leading into a race, then continue after.
