Rose’s running journey 🏃‍♀️❤️

Rose came to me looking for help with preparation for the Marathon. As a seasoned campaigner with experience across a range of distances, this was a great opportunity to see how far she could go.

Rose’s aim was to run her first ever sub 4hr time over the distance and she was a real superstar throughout training, never missing a session and ticking all the boxes. She even managed to PB her 20mile time by over 10mins, showing she was in fine form.

Sadly an unexpected foot issue on the day of the race prevented Rose from realising her goal. Nevertheless she achieved so much in the build and can be very proud of her training. I have no doubt that she will achieve her goal next time around and look forward to working with her again next time.

Well done Rose 👏

Huge congratulations to Jim Bull on completing the Loch Ness Marathon this weekend. 🦕🏃‍♂️⛰️

Jim completed his first marathon in Valencia last year and after a successful first outing was keen to challenge himself again.

Jim opted for the rolling hills of Scotland and took on the challenger at Loch Ness, a very different proposition to the flat Valencia! Despite the hills Jim still managed a 10min PB with even splits. 💪

Congratulations Jim a well deserved result after all the weeks of effort 👏

Jamie’s marathon journey 🏃‍♂️💨

As a regular gym goer working on functional fitness and strength training, Jamie already had a good level of base fitness. After completing several 10ks and half marathons however, he was keen to challenge himself at the next level by completing a marathon, and approached The Running Workshop for some video analysis and a marathon specific training plan.

Through video analysis we were able to identify areas in which he could be more efficient with his technique. In addition to his 16 week marathon plan we were also able to provide him with support to help enhance his running economy.

Being a highly successful conductor and travelling all around Europe, Jamie’s plan needed to be flexible and accommodate his ever changing routine. As such we were able to formulate a plan that worked to fit in with his lifestyle.

Jamie did a great job, completing all of his training and balancing the demands of his work to successfully run his first ever marathon 💪
