CLIENT PROGRESS POST

came to me 2 years ago with a 3.33 marathon PB and an aim to get a sub 3 at Rome Marathon 5 months later. Was always gonna be tough but with hard work he got… 3.00.00!!

Since then he’s ran sub 3 on 3 occasions - the latest 2.54PB at Barcelona this year. He’s also dropped his half time from 1.31 to 1.21 and ran a 36min 10k and 17min 5k - top progress in 2 years 😊👏🏻

With a new job lately I know it’s been hard finding time to fit training in but he still manages it, sometimes after a 13 hour day. Friend as well as client now and I’m dead proud of him. Next up - Milan and sub 2.50… 🔥

to last year when I was coaching during her Dragons Den filming. That morning me and paced her to a cracking 26min 5k PB thru Mcr City Centre at 6am!

CLIENT PROGRESS POST

This is my lovely client (Jess!) who contacted me back in July after getting a ballot place at London marathon 26!

At that time Jess was concentrating on strength at the gym rather than running so first off, like with any new client, we met up for an ‘MOT’. This is where I go through correct warm up, technique, running specific strength and stretches plus a good chat about training planning.

After this we started a version of couch to 5k with a Parkrun aim end of August which she achieved at Alexandra Park. Next was 10k target - Wilmslow Winter 10k - again totally smashed it!

Gradually increasing things has been important to build fitness and avoid injury, alongside continuing weekly PT. Jess has followed the plan and now doing fortnightly Track sessions with me too 😊 next up - 4 Villages Half in January!
