What would you ban?

We all have that exercise or bit of kit we know we should use but always try to avoid doing.

What would yours be?

I’d love to hear, especially from clients 👍

Yes it is a trap 😇😱😂

When you really don’t want to get out there and train.

I get it 100%

Today was our first run back after holiday, after a late night at the Gatsby Ball in Peterborough and a couple of drinks.

We could easily have skipped this one and said “I’ll pick it up next week”

But that doesn’t hit our values or beliefs and as coaches we aim to live these.

Which means our comfort zone is often pushed to find new limits with glass ceilings broken.

🏃‍♀️ Feeling stuck in your running progress?
Plateaus happen – but they don’t have to define your journey.

Many runners hit that frustrating point where PBs feel out of reach and training feels stagnant.

You go to Park Run each week – it becomes a social

You got to training each week – it becomes a social

And you think wait until the New Year to move forward

The truth?
Waiting until January won’t fix it.

✨ Start now.
Build momentum before 2026 even begins.

Every step you take today sets you up for stronger strides tomorrow.

💬 Let’s talk: What’s the biggest challenge you face when breaking through a plateau?

Drop your thoughts below – let’s make sure you hit 2026 running, not waiting.

When you decide to plan a long run abroad and decide to try Garmin routes on your watch for the first time it’s probably best not to run from one side of the island to the other across a desert on trails.

Although we didn’t get lost the route was ‘different’ to the Garmin prompted route which led to a bit of ‘discussion’ along the way 😇

However I would recommend it for taking you out of your comfort zone, but next time I’d remember my hydration pack as it’s hot in a desert with no water…….

This dude has been working hard.

And you know what they say “hard work pays off”

Not many can hit a 31.28 5 mile time, but as a coach I was so pleased that smashed his old PB by almost a minute today to get a shiney new one.

And in 2026 the focus is on speed - so there is far more to come.

Looking to push the pace but have plateaued?
Pop me a DM and I can get you moving again 👍

It’s nearly time for Black Friday……

I don’t always blow my own trumpet about how I coach, I usually just talk about my clients achievements but I thought I’d share a few stats that one of my athletes sent through to me.

Some of the software I use to help plan training is a global platform, with over 1000 coaches using it for various reasons - for me it gives me the ability to program directly to my athletes watch so it feels I am next to them whilst they train.

I’m not sure how many users of the software there are, but again it will be in the thousands.

So when I’m told that my client was the fastest coached athlete at the Rotterdam Marathon and was third at the Cardiff Half Marathon.

With another third at the Peterborough Half and another in fourth at Abingdon marathon - plus in a 5k Series we managed to get EIGHT athletes in the top 10 😁

Makes me quite proud.

Sometimes even after 15 years of coaching you still suffer with imposter syndrome !

Need help and advice with your running in 2026, don’t hesitate to reach out.
