Book Your Intro Call →Here's the benchmark test.
Right now, with zero lead-up or taper, could you carry a standard pack loaded with your hydration, nutrition and mountain essentials, scale three consecutive Eiffel Towers stacked end-to-end in under four hours, and walk away feeling fresh?
If yes, your aerobic engine is already elite. You don't need this programme.
If not, keep reading. This is exactly who I built it for.
This isn't about a finish line. It's about what changes in your actual life.
It's saying yes to the spontaneous hike with your kids instead of hanging back at the trailhead. It's keeping pace on the ski week instead of managing it. It's carrying your own bag up the last hill without thinking twice.
Most men in their 40s and 50s don't need to run faster. They need to stop feeling like their body is quietly negotiating with them every time life asks something unplanned of it. That's what this rebuilds, not a peak for one race day, but capability you can rely on, every day, for the next twenty years.
Most endurance coaching is built for one thing: getting you to a start line, on one specific day, in one specific discipline.
I don't do that.
GENUINE, WELL-ROUNDED,
CROSS-DISCIPLINE CAPABILITY
Running, cycling, swimming, strength... and the vertical terrain that most training plans quietly ignore.
Not a finish line. A body that says yes to whatever comes next.
I'm 42. I train at the level I coach you to reach, not from the sidelines.
A certified running coach, currently completing a physiotherapy internship focused on injury prevention, and still racing and training across running, cycling, swimming, and strength myself. I share the age bracket, the career pressure, and the family priorities of the men I coach so the plan is built by someone who understands what training actually has to fit around, not just how it should look on paper.

Book An Intro CallQuestions, Answered
Who is ToTheNextPlay coaching for?
Men in their 40s and 50s who want to rebuild real, everyday physical capability, not to chase a race medal. If you can already carry a loaded pack up three Eiffel Towers' worth of climbing in under four hours and feel fresh, you don't need me. If you can't, this is exactly who I built it for.
What does the T24 - 5 - 1C programme include?
24 weeks of personalised, data-backed coaching built around your schedule, culminating in a 5-day performance camp on the French Riviera (Giens Peninsula, Porquerolles and Mont Sainte-Victoire). I cap every cohort at 5 athletes so the coaching stays personal, never templated.
Do I need to be fit before I start?
You don't need to be elite, just consistent. As a rough guide, being comfortable covering 10K (somewhere around the hour to an hour 15) and able to walk or jog a sustained 200 to 300m hill climb puts you in range. The 24 weeks of coaching build you the rest of the way, and the intro call is there to check fit.
How is this different from an Ironman or race coach?
Race coaching peaks you for one start line, in one discipline, on one day. I don't do that. I build genuine cross-discipline capability you can rely on every day, for the next twenty years: the spontaneous hike, the ski week, the loaded pack up the last hill.
Where does the coaching take place? Do I need to live in Switzerland?
No. I coach remotely and work with athletes worldwide. I'm based in Switzerland, and the 5-day camp runs on the French Riviera. I coach in English and French.
Who is the coach?
I'm Florent, 42, a certified running coach, currently completing a physiotherapy internship focused on injury prevention, and I still train and race across running, cycling, swimming and strength myself. I share the age bracket, the career pressure and the family priorities of the men I coach.
How much does the programme cost?
Coaching is CHF 290 per month, billed monthly over the six months. The Riviera camp is priced separately, from CHF 3,300 in a shared twin or CHF 3,800 in a private room. Full details are in the programme dossier. Email me or book a 45-minute intro call and I'll walk you through it.
Can I do the coaching without the camp?
Not during the programme. From January to June my time goes to the five athletes in the cohort, and the camp is what those 24 weeks build towards. From September to November I take up to five people on a 12-week Pre-Season block (6 September – 28 November 2027, CHF 290/month), with priority access to the next January cohort.
Staying capable isn't vanity. It's one of the clearest things you can model for the people who watch you closest.
