Nearly two years of coaching. Some serious progress.

When Ashley first started working with me, his PBs stood at:

5K – 16:40
10K – 36:40
Half marathon – 1:17
Marathon – 2:58

Since then, Ashley has produced:

🏃 15:57 5K PB
🏃 33:36 10K PB at Romney Marsh, finishing 5th
🏃 34:12 at Chichester 10K
🏃 1:12:34 at Paddock Wood Half Marathon
🏃 1:14:25 course PB at Hastings Half Marathon, finishing 8th
🏃 26:52 at the Hastings Five Mile Race, finishing 5th
🏃 2:44 marathon PB in Barcelona

That’s 43 seconds off his 5K, more than three minutes off his 10K, over four minutes off his half marathon and 14 minutes off his marathon.

Ashley already had plenty of ability. The goal was to add structure, consistency and a personalised running plan that could keep moving him forwards.

The work continues, but this is a brilliant set of results to celebrate.

Circuit training is not only for people who already feel fit.

The Wednesday circuit sessions are designed to help you improve strength, fitness and confidence in a supportive environment.

You can work at a level that suits your current ability, with exercises that can be adapted where needed.

They are a great option for runners who want to add strength work to their week, as well as anyone who simply wants an enjoyable way to improve their general fitness.

Message me for details about the Wednesday circuit sessions in Hastings.

I consider the runner’s goal, current fitness, available training days, experience, recovery and the demands of everyday life.

A good plan should challenge you, but it should also feel realistic enough to follow.

That is the difference between simply downloading a schedule and receiving running coaching designed around you.

RB Running & Wellbeing supports runners across Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill and the wider East Sussex area.

What is the hardest part of returning to running after a break?

For many people, it is accepting that they cannot immediately start where they left off.

Fitness can be rebuilt, but trying to force the pace too early often makes the return feel harder than it needs to be.

Start with manageable sessions, allow recovery and measure progress over several weeks rather than after every run.

Most importantly, do not compare your first week back with your strongest running period.

A generic running plan cannot see how your week is going.

It does not know that work became hectic, your child was unwell or you barely slept before your scheduled long run.

Personalised running coaching allows the plan to change when life changes.

Sessions can be adjusted, training can be moved and the overall goal can stay on track without treating one difficult week as a failure.

That support and accountability can make training feel far more manageable.

Get in touch if you need a running plan that works around your schedule.

Does strength training really help runners?

Yes, when it is suitable for the individual and supports the running they are already doing.

Strength training can help runners improve control, stability and resilience. It can also support better movement when fatigue starts to creep in during longer runs.

You do not need to spend hours lifting heavy weights. A focused session covering the right movements can make a real difference.

Do you currently include any strength work in your training week?

Hastings runners know that flat routes are not always easy to find.

The hills can feel tough, but they can also become a valuable part of your training.

Hill sessions can help improve strength, running form and confidence, especially when they are introduced at the right level.

You do not need to race every climb. Focus on steady effort, shorter steps and maintaining control.

Which Hastings hill would you nominate as the toughest?

You do not need to be training for a marathon to work with a running coach.

Some runners want to complete their first 5K.

Some want to feel more confident running alone.

Others want to improve their pace, return after a break or finally follow a plan without giving up after two weeks.

Running coaching is not only about medals and personal bests. It is about helping you make progress that matters to you.

What actually happens during a Running MOT?

A Running MOT is designed to give you a clearer understanding of your running.

We can look at your technique, movement, strength, training habits and any areas that may be holding you back.

You will receive practical advice that you can apply to your training, rather than a list of complicated terms that mean very little once you get home.

A Running MOT in Hastings can be useful for beginners, regular runners and anyone preparing for a 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon.

Get in touch to book your Running MOT.
