Training Peaks Designed Training Plans
What are they?
Have a goal in mind, but need some help getting there?
These are plans that are pre designed over a number of weeks, e.g. 28 weeks for an ironman plan or an olympic distance tri. they can be set to lead up to a race, or just to cover a set training period, e.g. the base training phase of a half ironman triathlon
Every plan comes with a free TrainingPeaks Personal Edition account. Once you select and purchase a plan it will load into your TrainingPeaks account where can configure it to meet your needs and fit into your schedule. Once you’re up and running (or riding), you can log your workouts to track your progress and make sure you stay on track. After you meet your goal with your training plan, you can reuse it to train for another event or find a new plan to help you reach a new goal. All your data and information remains in your TrainingPeaks account for you to review and learn from.

Training plans can be tweaked to suit the individual prior to it being loaded onto their own training peaks account, but once they're loaded thats it, unless I have access to their account, but I have rarely done this.
In terms of reviewing progress this is certainly possible, I will have to think how much time this would take and how often it would be required to work out a price. £20 per time could work

Coaching Plans
I do online coaching for athletes with Training Bible Coaching Uk, which is owned by Joe Friel, a published writer of many books in the USA.
The coaching prices are currently set centrally, and I can't reduce them for coaching plans as is. These are the most popular for 1-2-1 coaching. they are bronze for £100, silver for £150 or gold for £250 a month.
