🏃‍♂️ Client Testimonial - Allen🏃‍♂️

Allen came to me from a football referee background, but shifted his focus to general running fitness and improving his 5K time.

He regularly shows great commitment when training with me, pushing on through fatigue and tired legs towards the end of tough interval sessions.

We ran at Stretford Parkrun together in April with him getting 32:16 which was his best 5K time since starting with me.

Been a pleasure to coach him for around a year now and looking forward to helping him bring his 5K/parkrun time down further in the coming months.

🏃‍♂️TRYING TO BREAK THE 30, 25 OR 20 MIN BARRIER AT 5K OR PARKRUN? 🏃‍♀️

Have you been trying to break a time barrier at 5K/parkrun and not been able to? If yes, let me help you achieve it with the right weekly training structure.

Together we can work on pacing, a weekly plan that gets you doing the right type of runs, and a race strategy that helps you run with confidence.

If you’d like support working towards a sub 30, 25 or 20 then message me with your time target and we can discuss how my coaching can help you achieve your goal.

And if you’re working towards a different time barrier, I can help with that too. Whatever time you’re aiming for next, I can tailor my coaching to help you work towards it.

🏃‍♂️Group Run, 1-2-1 Sessions and the Manchester 10K🏃‍♀️

A new route for the Park View group run on Saturday, running round the New Islington Marina.

Further progress made on the 1-2-1 sessions, despite some extreme heat in the earlier part of the week. Focus on 5K and Half Marathon training.

Great to go and watch the Manchester 10K and cheer on a few runners I know, including

🏃‍♂️Kingsway Park, Urmston Parkrun🏃‍♂️

First run at the newly created Kingsway Park Parkrun. Now my local Parkrun too, taking over from Stretford.

An all grass course so was never going to be the quickest but enjoyed it more than I expected.

Aim was to run between 19:30-20:00 as wasn't going all out on this one and got 19:44 so about the right pace.

Still loyal to Stretford but this will be a good one to do if deciding on the morning!

🏃‍♀️Sessions this week🏃‍♂️

👟 Jane had her first 1-2-1 session with me, mile reps, working towards improving her fitness for Half Marathon & Marathons later in the year

👟 Steph also began her first block of training with me with some km reps. Also working towards building mileage for a HM in November

👟 Rachel put in another consistent session during her 500m reps

👟 Allen was unlucky to get soaked in of the random downpours on his training day while doing his 800m reps 🤣
