Yes. You do not need to be an advanced runner or competitive athlete to benefit from coaching.

Whether you are working toward your first 5K, returning after time off, or trying to improve your race performance, the plan is built around your current capacity, training history, and goals.

The aim is never to force you into someone else’s mileage or structure. The goal is to build you progressively, at the right pace for where you are now.

Yes — your programme is built around your fitness, injury history, schedule, recovery, and goals.

This is not generic mileage with your name attached. Your running, recovery, and strength work are organised so the full training week makes sense together.

The objective is to give you a plan that feels realistic, repeatable, and properly aligned with the outcome you are working toward.

That depends on your goals, experience, recovery, and current capacity.

Some runners make excellent progress on three runs per week. Others may benefit from four, five, or more depending on the phase of training and what they can recover from.

The priority is not doing the maximum you can survive. It is doing the amount you can repeat consistently and build on over time.

Yes — where appropriate, strength work is built into the plan because stronger runners are usually more resilient, more efficient, and better able to tolerate training.

The goal is not to add random gym work for the sake of it. It is to include the minimum effective dose of strength training that supports your running goals.

Depending on your level, this may range from simple foundational work to more structured gym-based programming.

Your training is delivered through a shared coaching system where I can review completed sessions, monitor patterns, and adjust the plan when needed.

That means your programme is not static. As your fitness improves, fatigue builds, life gets busy, or symptoms change, the plan can evolve with you.

The aim is to keep training realistic, progressive, and connected to the bigger picture — not just hand you a fixed template and hope it fits.

No. Many runners join because they want to prepare for a race, but others simply want more structure, better consistency, improved fitness, or fewer recurring setbacks.

Race goals can absolutely be part of the process, but they are not required. Coaching can be just as valuable for building a stronger long-term running base.

Whether the goal is performance, confidence, durability, or simply enjoying running more, the coaching is built around that outcome.

Small issues do not automatically mean you need to stop running. In many cases, training can be modified intelligently by adjusting volume, intensity, exercise selection, or recovery demands.

This is where clinical reasoning matters. The goal is to make sensible decisions early, so small problems are less likely to become bigger interruptions.

No — this is running coaching first, designed for runners who want to train more intelligently, improve performance, and stay more durable over time.

Some clients join because they want better structure, accountability, and progression. Others come in because recurring niggles, inconsistent training, or poor load management have kept interrupting progress.

My osteopathy background helps when problems arise, but the goal is not simply to manage pain — it is to build a runner who can train with more confidence, clarity, and long-term consistency.

That depends on how much support you want and how complex your situation is.

If you are relatively self-sufficient and mainly need a smart plan with structured oversight, a lower-support option may be enough.

If you want closer feedback, more regular adjustments, and stronger accountability, the higher-support tiers are usually the better fit. In general, the more moving parts there are, the more valuable closer coaching becomes.
