Applications and enquiries

When you apply for coaching or register interest in an event, we store the details you type into the form: your name, email, phone number, city and anything you tell us about your running. Amit reads them to reply to you, and they are visible to Train With Gulia's admins, nobody else. We email you a confirmation, and Amit is told about your application by email.

Entering an event

To enter an event we ask for your name, gender, date of birth, contact details, an emergency contact, your blood group, any medical notes you choose to share, your T-shirt size and your address. We keep them in a saved profile so that the next time you enter an event you only check and update them instead of typing them again. A returning runner unlocks their profile with a 6-digit code sent to their email, so nobody else can see it. The organisers and medical team see your entry details for the event; nobody else does, and nothing is shown publicly. You can ask us to correct or delete your profile at any time. Each event asks for your consent again, and we record when and to which wording you agreed.

The newsletter

If you join the list, we store your email address and send you one welcome note. Any later email carries an unsubscribe link, and using it stops marketing emails to that address.

Stories you share

A story you send for The Mirror is only published after you tick consent and Amit approves it, and it appears with the name display you chose (full name, first name or anonymous). Your email and phone stay private.

Trainee data and Strava

If you're added as a trainee, we hold your name, email, and city. If you connect your Strava account, we access the activity data Strava's API returns for your own activities — distance, time, elevation, heart rate and splits where your device recorded them, GPS route, and power/cadence where available. We only ever access data you've personally authorized by connecting your own account; nothing is accessed from anyone else's Strava profile.

This data is used by your Train With Gulia coach to review your training and give feedback. It is visible to you and to Train With Gulia's admins — nobody else.

Control

You can disconnect Strava access at any time from Strava's own connected-apps settings. If you're removed as a trainee, your synced activity data and Strava connection are deleted from our database at that point. To have anything else removed, message us and we will.
