Run Coaching

This programme is for you if:

• you are struggling to achieve your running goals alone, and need some support;
• you need help fitting your training around your busy life;
• you are feeling stuck or bored in your training, and need some variety and motivation;
• you need somebody who you can ask advice of at any point during your training.

Look no further. I’ve helped countless runners just like you overcome obstacles and achieve remarkable results. Whether you’re aiming to conquer your first marathon, improve your race performance, or simply reignite your passion for running, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. From a personalised training plan tailored to your goal, and your lifestyle, to expert advice and unwavering support. Together, we’ll turn your running aspirations into reality. Let’s start this journey together.

After an initial consultation, where I assess your current training and we determine your goals, I will set you up on my online coaching platform and provide a training schedule which fits into your life, where we will ensure we are training intelligently by listening to your body carefully. For example, if the plan calls for a hard session on a particular day, but you are feeling fatigued (you might have had a big work or family event the day before), we can shift our plans around quickly and easily so they are in sync with your energy levels. This package is particularly useful for planning training around the peaks and troughs of hormone levels throughout the menstrual cycle. Payment schedule for this is monthly, and includes a regular phone call or video call with me for support.

What your coaching package includes:

• Initial 30 minute consultation with me, via whichever means you feel comfortable – over the phone, via video call or via email.
• Access to the Xhale online coaching platform and app
• A flexible training plan personalised to you, and which fits around your work and life.
• A regular check in with me, your coach, over the phone, via video call or via email.

This programme is for you if:

• you need a running programme that includes some focused strength work to help you perform at your best;
• you are coming back from injury, and want to incorporate strength training into your running plan, but don’t know where to start;
• you have a big running goal on the horizon and need to be at your strongest to tackle it to the best of your ability;
• you feel as though your running has plateaued recently, and you want to inject some power and speed back into it.

In the Run+Pilates Performance package, I collaborate with Louise Humphrey, a qualified Personal Trainer and Pilates instructor with a wealth of experience in strength training to help you achieve your best, through a holistic approach to fitness. 

Whatever your ability, age, or experience, and whatever your goals, together Louise and I bring a combined 50 years+ of expertise in endurance running, Pilates coaching, and personal training to help you achieve your best. Through a personalised running and strength programme, and dedicated support, together we focus on enhancing your strength, mobility, and endurance to unlock your full potential and keep you running strong for years to come.

After an initial video consultation with Louise and myself, which will last around 30 minutes, where we assess your current training and determine your goals, we will provide you with a running and strength training plan designed with your goals and current ability in mind. Payment schedule for this is monthly, and prices may vary depending on your individual requirements.
