Online Running Coach

Running coaching that fits your life — not the other way around

Looking for an online running coach in the UK?

Whether you're training for your first 5K, aiming for a new PB, tackling a half marathon or preparing for a marathon, personalised online coaching can help you train smarter, stay accountable and achieve your goals.

Although I'm based in Greater Manchester, I provide online running coaching to runners throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Online coaching gives you the same personalised support and expertise wherever you're based in the UK.

 

 

How My Online Running Coaching Works

1. Free consultation
A relaxed, no-pressure chat about your goals, your running, and your life — before anything gets built.

2. Your personalised plan
Built around you, not a template — delivered through FinalSurge so you can see it, sync it, and track it in one place.

3. Ongoing support
Check-ins, feedback, and adjustments via WhatsApp or Teams. You're never training alone.

4. Progress & adapt
Your plan evolves as you do — towards a race, a PB, or just feeling stronger.

Your plan, delivered through FinalSurge

Your training is built around you — your experience, your goals, your schedule, your life outside running. Then it's delivered through the FinalSurge app, so you always know what's coming and how you're doing:

  • See your week at a glance
  • Sync runs straight from your watch
  • Get adjustments in real time when life gets busy
  • Keep everything — sessions, notes, progress — in one place

No guesswork. No generic plans. Just training that works for you.

You're never training alone

Consistency comes from accountability, and that's what you get — check in via WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, whichever suits you:

  • Weekly reviews of your sessions
  • Feedback on technique, pacing, and effort
  • Encouragement when you need it
  • Plan tweaks based on how you're actually feeling

I won't upload a plan and disappear. You'll have someone in your corner the whole way through.


Add strength & conditioning — delivered via app

Want to run faster and stay injury-free? Add S&C sessions straight into your plan:

  • Improve running form
  • Build strength and stability
  • Boost speed and endurance
  • Reduce injury risk

A complete, well-rounded programme for runners who want more than just miles.


Coaching that looks at the whole picture

This isn't about logging miles. It's about everything that makes you a stronger runner:

Technique · Strength · Mobility · Recovery · Mindset · Training load

Unlimited support and guidance, wherever you're starting from.

FAQ

Do I need to be a certain level to work with you?
Not at all — I coach runners of every ability, from first-timers to PB-chasers. Your plan starts from where you are, not where you think you should be.

Is this just a training plan, or proper coaching?
Proper coaching. Your plan evolves with regular check-ins, feedback, and adjustments — I won't just upload a plan and disappear.

How do we communicate?
Via WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, whichever you prefer — questions answered and tweaks made without waiting weeks.

What if I miss a session or life gets busy?
Completely normal. Plans flex around work, family, illness, and fatigue — consistency over time matters far more than perfection.

Do I need a GPS watch?
Helpful, not essential. Sessions can be guided by time, effort, or pace.

Can you help with strength and injury prevention?
Yes — optional S&C sessions, delivered via app, tailored to runners.

Is there a minimum commitment?
No long-term contracts. Coaching is billed in 4-week blocks.

I'm outside Manchester — can I still work with you?
Absolutely — I coach runners across the whole UK online.
