How does it work?

We start with a running assessment with a detailed video analysis of your running style, and from there make a plan to improve it.  The coaching sessions then focus on correcting your technique area by area.

We recommend between 4-6 sessions depending on ability. We can customize this depending on your requirements.

Running coaching is suitable for anyone as the running and exercises are performed in intervals, so if you’re worried you’ll struggle, rest assured the session will be pitched at your level.

Running Coaching for Kids

Does your child struggle with school sport?  Do they love running and want to improve?  Running coaching for kids works the same way as it does for adults.  It starts with a detailed video analysis, a plan and then sessions to work on correcting the technique.  For kids, this can improve their confidence with sport, as well as their technique.
