When I first started running, it was always with faster runners who made it look effortless. They would be chatting constantly, whereas I was barely able to breathe never mind talk. They would hardly break a sweat by the end of the runs, and I looked like I had been standing in the shower with my clothes on.I knew that if I really wanted to get better at this running 'thing', then I needed to learn more about how to do it properly. Everything I had been doing (pushing myself harder, running further, ...) seemed like the obvious way to improve but something wasn't working.Over the next couple of years, I became really interested in running and how to do it better. I studied and read everything I could get my hands on. I tested out what I was reading, and then started to introduce my own theories to my running.Over time, more and more runners (and non-runners) started approaching me asking for help with their running. Initially, it was mainly beginners who wanted to get started, usually to lose weight, but over time more experienced runners also started asking for help with their training. In the early days, I felt like a fraud... Who was I to be helping all these runners improve? I had major Imposter Syndrome!In those early days, it was more about developing effective training sessions. Then, I started to get more interested in running technique, mobility work, and strength training. These days my running programs contain a very effective blend of all these elements using my "7 Core Pillars of Running" approach to help runners develop to their potential whilst staying as injury-free as possible.The programs that started out as face-to-face (where I run alongside my clients) have now evolved to include online coaching via video and virtual self-led programs. I also offer complete running assessments where I help clients break down and analyse all aspects of their running technique and to create a plan to address all of their weaknesses.
