PERSONALISED RUN COACHING
Think run coaching is just for elite athletes? Think again!
Coaching is for anyone and everyone who has a goal - whether that’s running your first 10K, nailing a marathon, or simply finding the motivation to get out the door through the darker months.
Maybe you’ve been running for years and hit a plateau, or you’re eyeing a tougher trail adventure like a big ultra...?! Personalised coaching will help you break through and reach the next level, whatever your goals.
The benefits of being coached
Our one-to-one run coaching is completely built around you, your lifestyle and your goals, helping you with:
✅ Structure
✅ Extra accountability
✅ Support
✅ Your confidence
✅ Motivation
✅ Race strategies
✅ Training resources
Whether you're chasing a race PB, building fitness, or going further than ever before, we’ll help you make those winter miles count — and turn them into results.
How does it work?

You connect with your coach on TrainingPeaks. (There's no extra fee for this).
2. DISCUSS
You and the coach discuss fitness and lifestyle topics, and your goals.
3. PLAN
The coach will then create your individualised training plan, and share it with you through TrainingPeaks.
4. TRAIN
The coach will then create your individualised training plan, and share it with you through TrainingPeaks.
5. PERFORMANCE
As you work through your training programme, your smartwatch will sync with TrainingPeaks, providing data from your workouts for you and your coach to analyse.
6. FEEDBACK
You and coach have regular catch-up video calls to give feedback on your progress. Adjustments to your training plan can be made here.
7. PROGRESS
Towards the end of the month your coach will publish the next month's training plan.

You're in complete control of the start date, so just tell your coach when you're ready to get started!
