Unhappy with your weight or general fitness?

Running as part of your overall fitness programme

Whatever your motivation, if you want to learn how to run comfortably, with a smile on your face, then we have just the running coaching programme for you. If you're already running, we’d love to chat with you to find out more about your challenges and your running goals, and how we can help you achieve better results. We're here to help 😊

We offer a range of run coaching programmes tailored specifically for you and your fitness goals

If you’ve never run a step in your adult life…

Even if you’ve never run a step before, are overweight, but fancy giving running a go, come and talk to us. We’ll offer you a range of run coaching programmes, each designed specifically for you and your fitness goals. Whether you want to lose weight, build your strength, improve your running speed or compete in a race – whatever distance. Because running is our ‘thing’.

We’ll support you with guidance on exercise and nutrition. We want you, not to just follow the plan, but to understand what’s behind it–to have the right mindset and motivation to make sure you succeed. Of course, many running coaches peddle the same familiar story.

“You must run more than 50k a week!”
“It’s simple. Do sprints, then long slow run and a tempo run!”
“Download a run plan off Google for nothing”
“Carb load the night before”
“Just take lots of gels – that’ll make you faster”

Here’s the truth about successful running

Age, sex, experience, diet, technique, pre-existing conditions – these all matter. But there’s one factor that overrides all these – your ENERGY – lack of it. You need a programme that optimises your energy. One that works for you, not other people. We’ve helped hundreds of people to run faster, from 5k up to marathons, with a smile on their faces!

Milton Keynes and online running coaching

Using Zoom, our comprehensive online running coaching programme will help you get into shape in no time – sending your energy soaring, leaving you looking good, feeling good and running great!

Online or face-to-face personal training

Weight Loss Success Stories

Darren used to weigh 17 stone and smoked heavily. Following a 'wake-up call' brush with his health needing a hospital visit, he decided to change his life and get in shape. He hired a Triathlon coach and eventually represented Team GB at the Duathlon World Championships in New Zealand, finishing 37th in the World for his age group.
