Coaching Services

For Athletes & Beginners

Free Initial Consultation

During your free consultation we can discuss your training background, what you want to achieve from your programme, and how we can work together to achieve your goals. This usually takes around 30 minutes and can be completed in person (subject to location) or via video call. If you wish to proceed you will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and lifestyle form.

For Newcomers to Running

My Couch to 5k coached programme, based in the West Craigs area of Edinburgh will take any new athlete to running 5k with a bespoke 10 week programme, during which you will have 2 coached group runs per week (maximum of 10 persons per group) and one further run which you will undertake in your own time. This 10 week package is being offered at only £89 per person, in order for you to have the opportunity to commence what we hope will be a sport and lifestyle choice you will want to continue. Please contact me for further information as to the commencement of the next group programme.

If you prefer to complete the training on a one to one basis, this is also available. Please contact me for further information and prices.
