Running Fitness Coaching

As a qualified personal trainer and experienced runner my aim is to help you both get running and keep running in a way that fits with your lifestyle.

A lot of running coaching concentrates on detailed running plans only. With me we'll work on your overall fitness to make sure you can run injury free and in a way that you enjoy it. We'll create plans together that fit around your life commitments so whatever is agreed is realistic and likely to be achieved.

Over the years I've found myself being asked to support runners around three main areas below:

Beyond Couch to 5km

Thousands of people have done the couch to 5k programme but then get stuck. I help you to keep going, whether that to create a new habit of integrating running in to life, or heading for that next distance such as a 10km.

Prehab

I work with running injuries to get you back out treading the trails. This of course also means helping you with prehab to make sure injuries don't return or even happen in the first place.

Stepping up

I work with runners who want to step up to the next distance but aren't sure how to do it, whether 5 to 10km, half marathon to marathon or even marathon to ultra.

Running Fitness Coaching involves an initial video chat and physical assessment to identify your fitness goals and your level of flexibility and strength. I then go away and create a detailed 12 week plan for you to follow. Once the plan is ready we have another video call to walk (or maybe I should say run) through the plan and check you know how to do the exercises. This initial work including all of the above is £120.

After that it all depends how much support you want and need.

If you are happy and self-motivated enough to crack on with your plan. Then there's no more cost involved. At the end of the 12 week plan, if you want a refresh for another 12 weeks then we'd have another call to review progress and I'd create an updated version for you. The call and update would be £55.

If you'd prefer some extra support during your 12 weeks either to simply keep your mind at rest, or you need someone to help keep you accountable then for a monthly cost of £45 we would have one 30 min video call per month to check in on progress plus we'll keep in touch through WhatsApp text chat for informal motivation and cheering.
