Who It’s For
Beginner, intermediate or advanced, on the road or the trail. If running is your sport, my running coaching is built round it.
Your first 5K or 10K, or a comeback after time off. I start from where your fitness is today and build from there.
Half marathon or marathon, chasing a finish or a time. I plan the build round your race and the weeks you actually have.
Hills, mud and long days on your feet. I’ve run 50 miles from Manchester to Liverpool in a day, so I know what the long ones ask of you.
What’s Included
The coaching is the same on every option. Commit for longer and it costs less.
Built round your goals and your life, not a template with your name on it. I write it, and I change it when your week changes.
Your sessions are set out in Final Surge. You log your training there, and I give you feedback on it as you go.
Ask me anything, as often as you like. I reply within 48 hours.
Help choosing the right race, and setting a goal that stretches you without breaking you.
Your go-to for everything running, on the good days and the bad ones.
Sign-up runs through Team RunRun, so you also get its weekly newsletter, group forums, and Facebook and Strava groups.

Five stars
“He always makes you feel comfortable and supported, no matter your fitness level.”
I couldn’t recommend Richard enough! He is such a gentle, patient, fun and encouraging personal trainer. He always makes you feel comfortable and supported, no matter your fitness level, and knows how to motivate you without ever making you feel pressured.
Richard brings such a positive energy to every session, and he makes working out something to actually look forward to. He is encouraging, understanding and genuinely cares about helping you progress.
Thank you, Richard, for all your support and encouragement!

Still stuck? Message me on WhatsApp or email me and ask me directly.
A plan built round your goals and your life in Final Surge, feedback on your training as you log it, unlimited email and text with a reply within 48 hours, and help choosing races and setting goals.
Yes. Beginner, intermediate or advanced, from a first 5K to an ultra, on the road or the trail. We start from where your fitness is today.
No. Running coaching is fully online, so you can train anywhere. I’m based in Macclesfield, where I also do personal training in person.
Running coaching is for runners: your plan in Final Surge, unlimited email and text, and a reply within 48 hours. Monthly Coaching covers running, cycling or triathlon, with strength and endurance programmed together, a weekly video or voice-note check-in and 24/7 WhatsApp support, in my own coaching app.
Yes, and I’d rather we did. Message me on WhatsApp or email me, and tell me about your running and what you’re aiming for.
Sign-up and payment are handled by Team RunRun, a US coaching platform, so you’re charged in US dollars: $200 a month, $900 for six months or $1,200 for twelve. The prices in pounds on this page are approximate. Your bank converts the payment at the rate on the day, and may charge a fee for paying in another currency.
Six months is about £675 ($900) and twelve months is about £900 ($1,200), both paid up front. That works out at about £112 and £75 a month, against about £150 on the monthly option.
Yes. You can pause once in each billing cycle, for example after a race or for an injury, and pick up again on a date we agree.
Yes. On the monthly option, cancel any time and I’ll coach you to the end of the month you’ve paid for. If you stop a six or twelve-month commitment early, Team RunRun’s refund policy sets what you get back.
Sign up for running coaching, or message me first if you’d rather talk it through.
