Achieve your running goals, your way

Bespoke training plans and 1-2-1 coaching for runners who want to follow their own path

Home: Welcome

My philosophy

We all have our own goals and our own obstacles in the way, but one thing we have in common is that we can all achieve them. Whatever your running goal - go faster, go longer, go without injury, or just go have fun - I can help you find your own path to success.

Whether we're aiming to complete 5K, a marathon or even an ultra, the only person we're competing with is ourselves and the craziness of our lives.

As a working family man trying to be a good husband, a good dad, as well as a good runner, I know both how hard it can be. But also that it can be done.

For me, first and foremost training has got to be fun. But that doesn't mean a little science and a bit of structure can't help us along the way, and keep us smiling.

I love all aspects of running, be it track , road or off-road. But its out on the trail where my heart really lies.

“You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”

Athletes' stories

Having Ian as a coach has helped tweak my training so it is far more structured and favours quality over endless miles. Ian has been great at adapting things to accommodate my individual requests, so the way I'm given information about my training suits my needs. He's also very understanding when life gets in the way of training!
