What Irulan said. Talk to the coach first about your goals, limitations and what you are looking to get out of it, and see if it will be a good fit. You don't need to be a racer to take advantage of some coaching. That said, if this coach is focused on power workouts, it might not be the right fit for you. I interviewed coaches before selecting one, to be sure it was right for me. I have been coach-less for quite awhile now, though, having gotten what I wanted from the experience.
