Running Coach Seaford

Darren is an exceptional coach and guide! I was visiting Eastbourne and got in touch with Darren to explore the South Downs. I had an amazing time biking across the South Downs and walking the Seven Sisters for the first time! This experience went beyond the guided tour and taught me to challenge myself up the climbs and through the different terrains. Darren perfectly understood my capabilities and inspired such a positive mindset to ensure that I enjoyed the experience and also challenged myself. I am very proud to have completed this beautiful tour of the downs and appreciate how Darren has empowered me to further challenge myself, explore and go on more adventures like this!

Did a 10k Rathfinney recce run with Darren today. Was a bit nervous when I realised it was only me but Darren put me at ease. He gave me some great advice about my running style and how to approach different parts of the course. Really useful morning. Thanks again Darren.

Darren is fantastic - highly recommend him! I started working with him in summer 2022. I was looking to run a 5k faster and Id fallen out of love with running. I also briefly mentioned to him that Id like to be able to run 10k - he didnt let me forget that! He immediately set me a plan with good variety and different types of training. Hes brilliant at keeping in touch regularly and always finds positives even if you feel youve had a poor session. Hes changed up the training plan as Ive progressed and helped me work on my running technique to get the best out of my running. Im really enjoying running now, have got faster again at 5k and within a few weeks of working with him I ran my first 10k!

Darren helped me achieve my impossible challenge of completing Beachy Head Marathon. He started off by analysing my running style using short videos and then set tasks to focus on helping me improve. His advice also looked at my nutrition and hydration before during and after my training runs. I was given a training plan which we adjusted as my training progressed. As the training runs got longer and included more elevation Darren got me to push myself harder than I thought possible. The training was definitely a challenge, but I needed this to ensure I was ready for my difficult challenge. I felt so pleased with what I was able to achieve with Darrens help and guidance. He regularly checked in to see how I was feeling, taking note of any concerns and taking time to try to solve issues. I have enjoyed my training with Darren and totally recommend him if you are looking for a running coach. He is so supportive and it was a pleasure to work with him and I completed Beachy Head Marathon - Im so pleased with what Darren helped me achieve!

I've been working with Darren for about 18 months with impressive results. We set short (5k) and long (50k) distance goals and have hit them all. Darren's technical knowledge is excellent and his level of coaching and support is second to none. Without a doubt working with Darren has improved my for and fitness beyond anything I would have achieved through YouTube and free running plans. If you want to get off the sofa or hit a 100 mile you should have a chat with Darren.
