RUNNING COACHING

The Fact

YOU ARE NOWHERE NEAR YOUR POTENTIAL

You are smart and you think you know what you are doing. You train hard, you’ve had a coach (or many), and you’ve raced with some degree of success, but the truth is … you still aren’t good enough to hit YOUR goals.

The Truth

THE BAR HAS BEEN RAISED

At the top of the game the standard is now higher than ever. More talented athletes are doing your sport than ever before. So, the competition is deeper, likely more genetically gifted than you and can access all the same free tools that you do. You need an EDGE.

“Coach Gareth and I have been working together for more than 2 years. Thanks to his detailed analysis and personalized coaching plans, I was able to shave off over 40 minutes from my marathon time. I would recommend him for any serious runner wanting to see what their maximum potential is.”

— Ali Arsan : 2.50 marathon runner

The Edge

CONSISTENT APPLICATION

The edge is not just better knowledge than everyone else, but it’s a system that helps you APPLY that knowledge, perfectly, every day and that adapts to your needs to keep you on track and accountable every single day.

The Problem

YOUR HIDDEN LIMITERS HOLD YOU BACK

Your current training is not custom to YOUR physiology and wasn’t built using sports science and lab test data. So, it’s largely generic, comes from a mid-level coach and doesn’t truly elevate you to the standards required. Couple that with your limited time, a flood of formulaic and inaccurate data and less than world-class guidance on how to put it all together and it’s no wonder you’re at a frustrating plateau with no clear path forward.

“With Gareth I am able to quantify my running improvements not just from race to race, but also throughout my training cycle. In just two years I’ve improved my marathon time by 25 minutes and qualified for the Boston marathon. Gareth gives me the tools to know how to manage my race performance over any distance and led me to successfully completing races from 26.2 to 100 miles”

— Lucia McIntosh : Boston Qualifier & Ultra Marathon runner

“Coach Gareth is amazing! He has helped me achieve a personal marathon bests in London 2023 and Berlin again later in 2024 and I’m running better now than I have in decades.

“As someone whose running pace was only slightly faster than some people’s brisk walk, I had a bit of hesitation about reaching out to Gareth given the caliber of athletes he works with BUT I had so much fun working with him! We did a gait analysis, along with the lactate threshold and sweat testing. I learned SO much. Gareth broke it all down in a way that was very easy to understand and left me with the feeling of “Oh! So THIS is what it should feel like”

— Susan Sullivan : weekend warrior runner

 FAQs

 

  • All workouts are uploaded into TrainingPeaks software. These workouts can be downloaded into your smartwatch for in-workout guidance. Post workout data will automatically upload back to TrainingPeaks for review as per your coaching tier. Health & sleep data from your wearables will also upload to TrainingPeaks each day. Athletes can leave additional comments about energy, stress levels, travel, etc in the TrainingPeaks comments section. Interaction with Gareth is as per your coaching tier by voice & video calls, text, email, meets and workout sessions. All athletes are expected to train with a heartrate monitor and maintain a daily training journal. Most athletes train alone or with a small and controllable set of training partners who help maintain the accuracy and integrity of the custom training plan.

  • Not at all. Many of Gareth’s athletes live all around the world and travel frequently. Most travel to see Gareth for initial testing but when this is not possible, arrangements are made with other providers in your local area to compile all the necessary data.

  • The list of “possible” equipment is almost endless (!!) but the essentials are apparel and basic needs for running including a heart-rate monitor with chest strap. An OURA ring or WHOOP to track sleep. Ideally an H-DROP sweat sensor. Access to machine and free-weight based strength training, track and treadmill. Recovery needs are also key with regular access to massage and health practitioners such as chiropractic. A budget for fuel and supplements.

  • Yes. Gareth’s interest is to work with driven individuals who are keen to hit their true potential and will invest in pursuit of the greatness within them.

  • Yes! The running lifestyle offers a superb way to stay fit and in prime condition. It’s something that Gareth personally lives every single day.

  • YES. The truth is that you will struggle to do the longer races with such limited time but Gareth will help you maximize the time that you DO have available by making sure that the program is perfectly custom to your life.
