Personalised Training Plan
Improve Your 5K / Parkrun — Premium Coaching Programme
This 10‑week coaching programme is designed to help you make real progress with your 5K/Parkrun. You can choose between one coached session per week or two - with the two‑session option always including one interval session, and the second either another interval or a paced continuous run together, like a tempo run. You’ll get a personalised plan and ongoing support, whether you prefer the accountability of one coached session each week or the faster progress that comes with two.
Stick with the plan, stay consistent, and you’ll give yourself the best chance of running a new PB or your fastest time of the year. And if you’re on the two‑session‑per‑week option and don’t achieve those targets, you’ll receive £50 back as part of my performance guarantee.
Payment Options
Option A price = £300, Option B price = £600
Payment option 1: Full amount up front
Payment option 2: 50% now, 50% at week 5
If you'd prefer to try a 1‑to‑1 session before committing, a one‑off intro session is £20.
