Running Goals

If you want to bring some structure to your running that helps you get the most out of your training, stay injury free and enjoy doing it, I couldn't recommend Matt enough. Fun but challenging sessions mean you get more out of workouts than you might on your own. And Matt has a great way of explaining the plan and why it brings benefits. 3 blocks of training in and PBs from 5k to half marathon shows it worked for me anyway

Couldn't recommended Running Goals enough. After starting with no real goal in mind, Matt has brought my 5k time down from 21:46 to 18:47 ; 3 minutes in a year - Never even dreamed my speed could improve so much! Varied training plans, endless encouragement and superb technique drills work together to get great results. Thanks Matt

Matt is amazing at inspiring you to run faster and for longer. Ive been running for over 30 years and never really understand how to run properly- Matt taught me how to run and Ive achieved PBs in 5k to half marathon. I now understand how to train. He was great when I hit the mid-plan blues too. His support is very motivating as you want to do well- thanks Matt

I worked with RunningGoals to work towards New York Marathon. I had ran 4 marathons before but had always ended up injured in one way or another! My goal was to improve my time and come out the other side injury free! I did the 1:1 coaching and really enjoyed them and felt the benefit of them and I followed a 20 week plan that was written for me. Ive never felt so ready for a marathon, my body felt good and was excited for the race. Matt was always on hand for advice and guided me through, explaining the purposes of each type of run. I ran the marathon last weekend, a very tough course, but I managed to stay strong and I came away with a pb! I have another marathon next year which is much flatter so Im excited to see what I could do there!! Thanks RunningGoals, my confidence is growing and Im finally feeling like my long terms goals are actually within reach!

-----------------Updated review - September 2022 ----------- I have been working with Matt on an online basis for 2 years straight now. Reflecting back one thing strikes me, I have not had any significant injuries since working with Matt. There is significant benefit is letting someone who knows what they are doing write your running training plan and advise you not to do stupid stuff like go for a 10 mile long run the week after your season break just cos your mate suggests it. I got injured a lot before I Matt got me training smart, no longer the case Matts enthusiasm has not damped over time, and I am still learning. I hit my sub-20 minute 5k goal with Matt's help and I am now training for half Marathon. ----------Original review 2021 ---------- Working virtually during lockdown with Running Goals taught me a great deal about running. My coach Matt structured my running and showed me how to safely increase my weekly mileage, with great results. My plan was supported by weekly phone calls, well worth it. So much thought and science was applied into the plan, leading to a season 5k PB. Highly recommend.
