There are so many reasons to hire a coach for your running or triathlon training and racing aspirations. Many people don’t and we’ve asked why. Here are 3 reasons they don’t and our response to why you can definitely benefit from being coached in all situations:

1. I’m not good enough to be coached…
Anyone can be coached! Ability is irrelevant to a good coach. How you apply yourself to training/life and how well you communicate is the key.

2. I’m only training for 5km to half marathon / short triathlons…
You can still really benefit from individual training, mentoring and support. We plan and support exactly to your needs, working on strengths and weaknesses, watching load around training and regularly checking in.

3. I’m too old!
We fully support masters athletes on their incredible journeys. Biggest challenge is the incremental load, ensuring this is built carefully and managed around life. S&C to support life and exciting goals. Equally we challenge and push you when we feel that step is required.

Looking for a coach? We’re ready and waiting for your DM.

Summer of fun and heat waves for the purple crew.

Holiday away in the Alps for coach Chris and Michelle with some cheeky racing and Tour de France touring.

Here are some highlights of our athletes fun through late July and August:

1st AG at the Oydessey standard distance triathlon 🤩

Stuart Macnamara finally raced a triathlon after a tough year with injury. T100 standard distance and hoping to keep up the momentum now 🤩

Coach Chris Maxwell took on the Alpe D’Huez Long Triathlon. What an event on a very warm day. Well done Chris 🤩

Talent pathway triathlete Soph finished 1st AG and 6th overall female, beating 3 pro women, in the Alpe D’Huez Duathlon. Incredibly hot weather too 🤩

U23 pathway triathletes Josh and Harry Maxwell competed in the World University Championships in Switzerland. Solid individual performances but an outstanding 3rd place for the GB team in the Mixed Team Relay 🤩

Iain Iain Cameron finished the Lakeland 50. Strong months of training ticked off and a result Iain deserved 🤩

We had another amazing weekend of racing and enjoyment for our purple crew. As well as Tasha in the summer spine challenger north (see previous post), we had athletes all over challenging themselves and finishing with smiles.

emma franklin ran the Ultra Wales 50. This was a race to test the fear factor, the unknown and of course to nail down fuelling in mountains. Emma has been training so hard for UTMR, this race was everything we wanted it to be. Strong to the finish, fuelling nailed 🤩

Sam ran the Run through Morzine/Avoriaz 50km. Local (ish) for Sam, lovely trails and exactly what we wanted as a race aim before Sam takes a break to finish her Masters. Superb racing in hot weather, 20th lady was the icing on the cake 🤩

becsterruns75 ran the Giants Head Marathon. Very new to trail running after racing well on roads for many years. Everything about these types of races was new. This race for Bec was all about the medal, but we think we’ve got her into trail running now 😁💜

Ben (newly returned to being coached by Michelle), also ran Giants Head marathon. Stepping stone to his first ultra in September, carefully building back after a knee injury.

competed in the Gower SwimRun with his regular racing buddy. Bouncing off the back of ultra training, some speed work sharpened Jon up nicely for this with some specific swim/run bricks. Jon and his buddy won the event too 🤩

Brilliant weekend and we have loved the purple crew support this week. Onto the next races 💜

The biggest congratulations to coached athlete .

A goal and focus for the whole year since summer spine last year. Tasha not only got to the start of the Spine Challenger North but finished 4th woman 🤩

In the proceeding week Tasha was so ill she didn’t work and spent two days in bed! We weren’t sure whether it was a good idea to even start, but I knew after the commitment to this race, that Tasha would start. We had a plan to watch the effort and heart rate at the start, even mostly hike.

First check of the tracker by coach, 6th female 😃 Tasha went on to finish 4th woman. Follow Tashas full story on her posts, but just to say: Never limit yourself, it’s not over until it’s over!

Great weekend of purple crew racing, community and above all fun 💜

Coach Michelle Michelle | Ultra Runner | Running Coach met Jennifer Tibbenham at the Hampshire Hoppit half marathon. Brilliantly organised trail event and super course. Jen did so well after coming back from injury, she raced hard and just missed the podium by seconds 🤩

Liz ran the Hampshire Hoppit marathon, met up with coach after for pictures. A solid morning on the trails for Liz, just nailing down the nutrition for the big one in July.

Dave David Harvey ran the SDW100, a huge local fave for Dave. Quite warm but fast running conditions, with both male and female course records tumbling. For Dave he ran just over 21 hours, trialed some different fuels and got a bit hampered by a sore hip from halfway. Another solid day out as we build towards The Spine!

Mike took on the Broad Town 5 mile road race for his club. Warm afternoon conditions and race fatigue from Tuesday took their toll but a solid 31 minutes run 🤩

Congratulations to coached athlete Michael. 18:15 at Westbury 5km, not a PB but a best recent time and best on this cour...

Congratulations to coached athlete Michael.

18:15 at Westbury 5km, not a PB but a best recent time and best on this course, so all good and progress is clear 🤩💪

Summer of speed continues!

Another super performance from Bec over the weekend. Her first experience of running the Welsh Castles Relay for her club.

Bec finished 🥇 vet woman (over 35 and Bec is 50) on leg 5 (9.6 miles), and beat the club vet record for this leg. Training for a hilly trail marathon is paying off big time 🤩

If you’re looking for help with your running, especially as a veteran runner, Bec is coached by Michelle who has space for new athletes.

Huge congratulations to coached athlete for her 🥇 place (4th overall) at the Pembrokeshire Coastal 50km.

Storm is training for Lakeland 50 miles and we wanted a positive build up race to give her the confidence to race hard in July. We definitely found it!

Storm raced hard, fuelled well and found the pace for the hills we need for July. What a performance!

Looking for the confidence and support to race hard, Michelle has space for new athletes.

Congratulations to the purple crew who ran the Ullswater 20.

was using the race as a stepping stone to Lakeland 50 in July. Practise fuelling, kit and pacing strategies. Iain enjoyed the race, but had a little fall which slightly dented the day.

Patrick loved the event. This was his goal race for the last few months. His longest event so far. Patrick has very limited time to train with his demanding job and young family, so just getting to the start is the achievement 🥳

Slowly slowly the road runner is loving the trail 😁

Mission accomplished from the coach’s perspective 🤣🥳

ran the Mendips Challenge 20, loved the course, the hills and the views. Practising fuelling and aid stations (you don’t get those in a road race!)

Stepping stone to her first trail marathon in a couple of weeks. We will get her running ultras before she knows it 😁💜
