Structured run coaching for performance
Expert run coaching for athletes worldwide focused on marathons, ultra-marathons, and running PBs.
For many runners, the path to a Personal Best or a first ultra-marathon is not about running more; it is about running with greater intent. When you are balancing a demanding professional career with high-mileage training, you cannot afford junk miles or the injury setbacks that stem from an unstructured approach.
If you are currently following a generic plan or feel that your progress has stalled, a professional coaching framework provides the technical oversight and objective planning required to break through your current plateau.
The Challenge of the solo runner
Running is deceptively simple, which is why even highly motivated athletes often fall into common traps that limit their potential and increase injury risk:
The “Grey Zone” Trap: Completing every session at a moderate intensity- too taxing for true recovery, yet too easy to trigger significant physiological adaptation.
The Injury Cycle: Increasing volume or intensity too aggressively without a professional assessment of load management, leading to forced time off.
Tactical Uncertainty: Lacking a clear pacing or fueling strategy for the final 10km of a marathon or the overnight sections of an ultra-endurance event.

“Thank you too for all your motivation and help wouldn’t have been possible without you.
Onto the next chapter as they say”
STATS: Completed Lanzarote Marathon in 3:44:52 and breaking her London Good For Age time for next year by over 30 Minutes!
A Targeted Approach to Running
As a running coach, my focus is on building a robust, efficient athlete. My approach removes the guesswork, allowing you to focus purely on the execution of your training while I manage the variables.
Metric-Driven Programming: We utilize pace, heart rate, and power data to ensure every session hits the required physiological target. This removes the second-guessing often associated with easy runs and recovery days.
Intelligent Load Management: For athletes aged 30–60, recovery is as critical as the workout itself. We prioritize sustainable progression to ensure you remain consistent and injury-free.
Technical Clarity: We address the specific demands of your target event; whether that involves developing mountain strength for a trail ultra or improving running economy for a road marathon.

“Chris provides you with a super detailed plan of each workout session and why you are doing it.
I found this super useful and without it I don’t feel I would have made the improvements I have.
STATS: Completed Suffolk Winter Warrior 50K (Having never done a marathon) in 5:18:20
