Running Performance Coaching

Since starting to work with Ian five years ago, I’ve been able to break through what previously felt like a plateau in my running. The impact was almost immediate. His structured, data-driven coaching combined with genuine mentorship has helped me continue setting PBs year after year. Ian always seems to help me find that extra gear, and I’m excited to see where the ceiling really is.

I mainly run trails but I’ve wanted to run a road half to see what I could do after improving my general fitness and running form at the running club. Ian put me on a plan over winter to help me break the 1:30 barrier which really put me through my paces and made sure that I was at my peak for the race. I really enjoyed the sessions and the mix of training. On the day of the race (Brighton Half), I felt that I could hold a much quicker pace than usual and I only started to really feel fatigued at around the 11 mile mark. Not only did I break my 10k PB in the same race but I took 8 minutes of my half PB and came in at 1:28 which was a great result, considering the horrific weather conditions on the day. Very pleased and ready for more!

Ian’s training plans really work. The structure of the week and Ian’s feedback help maintain focus and motivation. Ian’s attention to detail and passion for the process is evident every step of the way. I set myself a goal last year and by following Ian’s plan managed to achieve PBs at the age of 51 in my 10k, half marathon and marathon distances.

Ian has played a pivotal role in my running achievements. His intelligent, personalised, data driven training plans have helped me exceed my goals and brought meaningful structure to my weekly training. Ian is a brilliant coach with an infectious passion for performance. I highly recommend

Before working with Ian, I was running around aimlessly with no real structure or direction. Three years later, everything has changed. His guidance, belief, and meticulously tailored training plans have pushed me further than I ever thought possible. I’m now hitting PBs from 5k right through to 50k, and I feel stronger, more confident, and more purposeful in my running than ever before. I can’t wait to see what the London Marathon brings next.

Ian has massively improved me as a runner. His depth of training knowledge and the quality of his plans have taken my approach to training and races to a new level. What really sets him apart is his patience, enthusiasm, and great sense of humour, he makes the whole process enjoyable while still keeping you focused and accountable. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
