Hello Everyone
First up welcome to the RHWB Lite program. Congrats on taking that first big step .. Successfully signing up for this program!
Remember, this is a self serve program and for you to get the best out of it, you should make sure you have understood the orientation video well and have prepared to get the most out of it. Before we start the season, take some time to click on each of the links below to get yourself acquainted on the program and set yourself up for success
Here is a quick checklist of items you need to be on top of before the season starts:
Ensure you have downloaded the Final Surge App on your phone and set it up. (Watch this Final Surge Tutorial video , watch this video on how to check your assigned workouts in Final Surge)
Connect your running watch to the final surge so that your runs are recorded against each of the activities in the training plan (Watch how to for IWatch here or Garmin here)
Understand your watch functionalities and ensure you know how to operate it. (Check this video on how to record runs)
Your training program will have runs as well as strength training exercises. Understand how to record strength training in your Final Surge (Check this video here)
It is very important you have the right shoes and gears when you run. Check the orientation video again on this. Go through our resources page to properly prep yourself.

To reiterate, this is a self serve program. That means you will not get access to regular coach feedback etc. To gain success in this program you should invest time and dedication. Follow all the weekend messages, training plan and dedicate yourself to it. I guarantee you will soon get into a positive spiral of self discovery and enrichment. As we move through the program if you are consistent, we will upgrade you to a Coach managed program as and when we get any cancellations in the main program Finally you all have a chance to get into the pro version as well. We normally see upto 15% attrition in the main program during the training. As and when that happens we will port you from Lite to pro version where you will get a dedicated coach for no extra $$. All you have to do is to ensure you follow the program and log activities in Final Surge. Priority will be given to those who are committed and dedicated to the program. If you are selected for this upgrade we will communicate to you through Final Surge on next steps Good luck Bala Head Coach, RHWB
