Unlocking the Secrets to Distance Running Success
My Personal Coaching Approach

The Power of Mind Over Distance

"Running those distances? That's just mental!" – often said in jest, but there's a hidden truth in this light-hearted quip. Contrary to the common perception of running as purely physical, I believe it's a fusion of mental and physical prowess. As a coach, I focus on this critical mental aspect, underscoring that mastering such distances involves as much mental strength as physical endurance.

Physical Training: The Lydiard Method, My Way

In my coaching, I adopt Arthur Lydiard's proven principles, focusing on aerobic running, building a solid endurance base, and periodisation. These methods are not just training techniques; they are transformative tools that I adapt to your unique physiology and goals, ensuring you receive a holistic and effective physical training plan.

Mental Fortitude: Beyond Physicality

When you stand at the start line, believing in your ability is essential. This belief comes from a training programme I meticulously craft for you, merging physical strength with mental resilience. My focus on non-physical training is a crucial element in preparing you for the challenges of distance running.

A Tailored Coaching Experience

My coaching philosophy goes beyond mere training routines. I explore key aspects like:

  • Nutrition and Hydration: Essential for sustaining endurance and aiding recovery.
  • Running Efficiency: To enhance performance and reduce injury risks.
  • Pacing and Race Strategy: Smart tactics for navigating your race.
  • Injury Prevention and Recovery: Keeping your training consistent and effective.

Personalised Training for Every Runner

Whether you're a beginner aiming to complete your first half-marathon, a marathon enthusiast, or a seasoned distance runner seeking a new personal best, my coaching is tailored to your experience and aspirations. Balancing training with your personal commitments, I create realistic and adaptable training plans suited to your life.

The Iterative Training Journey: A Shared Commitment

Adopting a static training plan leads to stagnation. I believe in an evolving process, where I continuously fine-tune your training to match your progress and needs. This journey is about mutual commitment: your dedication to and belief in the goals and my guidance to help you reach them.
