5k-marathon training plans

Whether you are training for your first 5k or marathon or you are aiming to get an aggressive personal best we can work together to ensure you achieve these goals sustainably, without injury and enjoyably.

I am always looking at ways to make training more efficient so that you are not always working harder but smarter. 

With a degree and masters in sport, exercise and health science and qualifications in run coaching and personal training I will use science backed training methodologies to aid you to your goals.

To aid in your training I use the app and website training peaks. This is accessible online and on your phone but it also will directly upload any runs or bike rides straight to your watch (Garmin, Coros, Sunto, apple, polar, wahoo and many more). This means I can track each workout to track progress or spot flaws to stop them from becoming an injury. This app helps me spot when you are overtraining or undertraining so that we can taper for races effectively.

My plans will include strength training to aid not only your performance in running but to also prevent injuries.  I will also give sports nutrition advice for performance and injury prevention. The number one cause of injuries is ramping up your exercise too quickly for your body to adapt. Combining sensible training with strengthening of muscular/tendon/ligament weaknesses and proper nutrition and you are doing everything you can to not get injured.  

​

My training will be specific to your weaknesses, where you are at with your running career and what event you are training for. Each distance needs to be trained for differently and each person might need to work on something different to unlock their next challenge.
