Step Outside

Ive been working with John for about 18 months now. I was a consistent runner but arguably lacking in direction which meant I wasnt achieving any genuinely challenging goals. Johns training programmes, guidance and support have made an enormous difference to the efficiency of my training and improved my pace. Im running a 10k time of 46mins which is about as quick as I could do when I was 28 Im now 40!

John has helped me take my running to the next level, increasing volume drastically while learning the benefits of training at different intensities. If you are looking to improve your training and your enjoyment of running you should definitely give John a go.

John coached me to a second place finish for my first trail race and ultramarathon, providing me with a custom plan and frequent feedback. Having been a casual runner for two decades, doing all my race training diy, getting John as a coach has been a game changer. I arrived at the start line well-prepared and injury-free. I could never have gotten a podium finish without Johns coaching and motivation to get through the hard miles. He is now coaching me to prepare for a road half marathon.

Since working with John, Ive definitely increased the number of minutes Ive spent in physical discomfort, but its been offset by a greater sense of focus and each week I feel like Im ticking off new personal achievements - speed, control, mental approach. John is clear and direct in his approach. He is supportive but does not tolerate excuses (of which I offered many initially). Would recommend for those who have big goals but are (like me) incapable of facing into their weaknesses alone!!

I have been coached by John over the last 9 weeks with a view to sneaking under 20 minutes for a 5k. It has without doubt been the most productive time I have ever spent running. Having started off as a very sedate, pot bellied, ex 'couple of times a week runner' with a baseline 5k time of 22:48 minutes (followed by much dry heaving on the pavement), John has managed to coach me to a 20:27 5k with something left in the tank in just under 9 weeks. This is without so much as a whiff of injury. His emphasis has always been on running sensibly and efficiently. He provides useful and extremely timely feedback following every run and I can honestly say that his techniques have changed the way that I run and will continue to run from now on. I look forward to "race" day at the end of this month and feel confident I'll break that dam 20minutes! I'll certainly be back for help with my next goal of a sub 40 10k.
