Coaching for Runners
Professional Coaching for runners with the aspiration to improve…
Personalised Plans
Any new relationship will need to establish exactly what the athlete wants from the programme. This could include…
Face to Face training sessions
Mindset preparation
Weekly calls
Personalised plans prepared and based on required end outcomes
I make sure this is not prescriptive, it’s a blend of everything that will work for the athlete, and prices are based on exactly what support the athlete needs.

Bespoke Training
To succeed, its important that any training plan is geared around your own personal circumstances and required outcomes. Once that is established and agreed, an initial plan can be prepared. In most instances programmes are planned over a four/eight week mesocycle, but each week is planned and agreed based on a weekly review.
My view is that any initial Coach & Athlete relationship should where possible involve an initial meet and the delivery of a personalised interval session, to help to plan and prepare the right programme, and to look for any apparent areas that may require focus (advice on technique etc.). Coaches work with both the eye, the general feel and discussion, and of course a stop watch! Naturally, where this is not possible, a detailed assessment via Zoom can be used.
“Nick has been a constant motivator – always giving me inspiration and support when I need it. Even when I had to take time out through injury last year, he checked in regularly with me and always had the right words to help with my recovery. He will always find time to reassure, motivate, build confidence within you and will definitely help give you a positive mindset.”

“Nick was my running coach for my first Marathon and honestly, he has been amazing. Super supportive, really knows his stuff, and just a lovely coach to work with. He makes training feel achievable, checks in regularly, and takes the stress out of it all.
Couldn’t recommend him more and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without him!”

'Nick is one of the nicest and most knowledgeable people I’ve met. He builds seamless relationships and understands and shares your goals, giving his time and knowledge to help achieve them. He’s also helped me develop not just physically with running but mentally as well and places emphasis on training the mind as well as the body. Always very responsive to any questions I have and a great listener. I can
highly recommend him as a coach!

“Working with Nick has been one of the most transformative experiences of my athletic journey. After stepping away from competitive swimming, I found myself in a difficult place with sport. I had lost the joy, motivation, and sense of identity that came with being an athlete. Running initially felt like just another challenge—something I should do, but struggled to connect with on a deeper level.
Nick changed that completely. Through his thoughtful coaching, individualised training plans, and unwavering belief in my potential, I began to rebuild my confidence and rediscover the joy in movement. His approach goes far beyond just performance metrics—he truly understands the emotional and mental side of sport, and helped me reconnect with why I wanted to run in the first place.
With Nick’s support, I’ve achieved goals I never thought possible. I qualified for the inter-county cross country team for Cheshire and placed 12th at Nationals on the legendary Parliament Hill course—both milestones that felt far out of reach not long ago. But more importantly, because of Nick, I found a renewed love for running and a sense of balance in how I approach training, competition, and wellbeing.
Nick always told me to ‘run with a smile’ and I’m incredibly grateful for his guidance, and would recommend him to anyone looking to grow—not just as an athlete, but in their relationship with sport as a whole.”
