After wrapping up and reflecting on 4 months of focused training with it’s a good time to share how we fared… 📋

After a stellar 2025 with PB’s galore and a ‘Most Improved Award’ at Jamie came to feeling he was in a bit of a plateau period and asking for some guidance. This is extremely common, if not inevitable for runners who have had periods of significant progression, and it can be a difficult place to be mentally when the progression stalls 📈

For athletes going through this experience, plateauing isn’t a negative signal. It’s an opportunity to take a break from hard training, to rest/recover and to reevaluate your training to assess what could be done differently 🤔

This was a key part of the early discussions with Jamie and it became clear quite quickly that despite having a great variety of weekly training (running, strength work, cycling and walking) there were three standout areas of opportunity to focus on:

🥵 INTENSITY MANAGEMENT
Training involved mostly, if not all high intensity sessions across the week. The importance of having a mix of easy, moderate and high intensity sessions across a given training week isn’t just to help with recovery but also to help ensure that when you’re doing a session or race that your body is given the best opportunity to take it on. A key change was to implement greater variety in intensity across training weeks 💪

🏃🏻‍♂️ LONG SLOW RUNS (LSR’s)
With a goal to improve half marathon performance a key piece missing from Jamie’s training was regular long easy miles. Having aerobic endurance capacity is key to performing at longer distances so dedicating the time to building this more frequently was critical if the target was going to be achieved 🎯

🫡 PREPARATION & REFLECTION
One of the most common areas athletes ignore but can have such a huge impact on performance. Being more thoughtful about upcoming sessions/races and asking yourself questions whilst dedicating time to reflect on these afterwards.

this morning at Cuningar Loop parkrun 🏃🏻‍♂️

Cracking weather, maybe summer is coming! ☀️

A huge belated congratulations to for completing the a week last Sunday 🏅 🇮🇪

If you want to see an example of resilience then this guy has it in abundance. We helped with a training plan 2 months out, and even with a disrupted pre-race training period Zeebs still managed to get to the start line and smash the race 💪

Special mention to pictured here with Zeebs who also completed the half in a onesie! 🤪

Excited with what other achievements are to come! 🙌

🔔 PB Alert! 🔔

Ring the bell! Incredible run by at the on Sunday to smash his marathon PB by 25 minutes to dip under 4.15 🏃🏻‍♂️

After a disrupted training block due to injury and a chunk of training missed, this result is testament to the physical and mental resilience of this guy 🫡

Imagine what can be achieved with a non-impacted training block 🤔

A huge well done Ali, enjoy the celebrations 🙌

Incredible time once again at in the Gower, South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Unfortunately no trail running (or camping on site) for me this year due to a foot injury but it meant there was an opportunity to attend more talks, classes and to be a sponge! 🧽

As always there were many highlights, but here are my personal favourites…

of who hosted a super talk on bone stress injuries and RED-S, great timing with my own possible stress injury (off to book an MRI asap!) 🩻

A session on mindset by and a great reminder to dedicate time for reflection and to write our own story 📖

Fuelling talk by including delicious pancakes and Swedish jam 🇸🇪

Thought-provoking talk by on why we feel so alive on the trails in nature, micro-biomes and rewilding. A hot topic right now! 🌲

Incredible breathwork sessions hosted by and respectively. Honestly, for anyone who hasn’t tried out a breathwork class, get involved! 🧘🏻‍♂️

And of course, watching the Beer Mile Relay…always a fun watch! 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️🍻

Wrapping up the trip enjoying some chip shop chips overlooking the estuary at Pen-clawdd! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🙌

Living by what I preach and booking myself in for a physio appointment with after an innocuous foot injury that came on last weekend 😕

Could be a stress fracture, could be peroneal tendonitis 🤷🏻‍♂️

The next step to get an x-ray to try and rule a stress fracture in or out 🦶🏻

The difference in muscle mass in my calves was also flagged, perhaps due to a long term right hip issue. Could my right foot have been overcompensating for some time? 🤔

A mistake many runners make (as I have done many times in the past) is to give an injury some recovery time and then try to run again to ‘see how it is’. Usually resulting in flare ups, worsening the injury and causing delays in full recovery 😢

We’re happy to spend money on our running watches, super trainers and race entries. Let’s invest in our bodies to make sure they are in the best condition they can be! 🙌

Thank you to Michael at for a valuable and individual first assessment session 👨🏻‍🔧

On Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a Food for Athletes nutrition session with the incredible 🙌

We learned about food that can enhance Vo2 capacity, plant proteins, what to include and avoid before a race, and much more! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Of course the tasting session of the workshop was a favourite part 😋

Thank you Maria! 🙏

Another athlete to recently join the is 🙌

Excited to have the opportunity to coach another member of the gang! ⚫️🟢🌱

Let’s go!

I had the pleasure of coaching another track session with the Glasgow group on Friday evening 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏼‍♂️🏃🏼‍♀️ 🟢⚫️ 🌱

Once again we focused on the importance of doing a warm up, drills & strides before the intervals session, to get the group fully prepared for session 🙏

The session was Pyramid Chasebacks running time based intervals anti-clockwise then clockwise all at 10k pace. The goal to dial into their pace, run evenly paced intervals and finish where they started! 🔺

• Warm Up ✅
• Drills ✅
• Strides ✅
• 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 (minute intervals with recoveries between 30-60 seconds) ✅
• Warm Down ✅

A superb session with slightly lower intensity than some top end speed work sessions, but the shorter recoveries really focus on building aerobic endurance capacity and strength 💪

Epic work by the whole group! 🙌
