Coaching that watches for the problem
Most running coaches write you a plan. I’m also an injury specialist — so I’m watching for the thing that’s about to stop you, every single week.
The runners who come to me usually aren’t short of motivation. They’re short of someone who’ll notice, in week four, that things are quietly heading the wrong way — and adjust before it becomes six weeks off.
That’s why I do both jobs. Coaching that can spot an injury coming, and injury work that understands what your training week actually looks like — the combination is the whole point.
The weekly check-in
Six questions. Under a minute. Every Sunday.
How the running felt. Whether anything hurt, and whether it had settled by the next morning. What you actually completed versus what was planned. How you slept. What else life threw at you.
Those answers decide what happens to next week. Sometimes we build. Sometimes we hold. Occasionally we back off before you’d have thought to — and that’s the week that saves your season.
Why it matters
Nobody spots their own gradual decline. A runner going from “nothing” to “barely noticed it” to “present but I ran through it” over three weeks feels fine each week — and is heading straight for a layoff.
Tracked weekly, that pattern is obvious. That’s the whole idea.
Two ways to work together
Plan
£75 / month
- Running plan built from your assessment, rewritten monthly
- Weekly check-in with adjustment guidance
- Email support for plan questions
For runners training well who want the right structure.
If you keep breaking down
Full
£120 / month
Everything in Plan, plus:
- Strength and conditioning built round your plan, progressed monthly
- Every check-in read personally by me, not just scored
- Mid-week plan changes when something needs it
- Priority response
For runners rebuilding after injury, or who want the strength work programmed too.
Minimum three months, then rolling monthly. I cap coaching at twelve runners so everyone actually gets the attention they’re paying for.
Why three months?
Because that’s roughly how long tissue takes to adapt, and how long it takes to know whether a change of approach is working.
Six weeks of a twelve-week process tells neither of us anything useful. I’d rather be straight about that up front than take your money for a month and let you conclude coaching doesn’t work.
After three months it’s rolling, and you can stop whenever you like.
Start with an assessment
I’d rather not write you a plan before I understand what’s been going wrong. So I’d usually start you with the full assessment and technique analysis at £150.
Go on to coaching within a month of it and your first month is on me — whichever tier you pick.
