Why Coaching?
A training plan tells you what to run but a coach helps you become a better runner.
Running rarely goes entirely to plan. Work gets busy, you get tired or a niggle appears, confidence dips or a session goes badly.
This is when having a coach matters. I don’t just write you a training plan. I aim to get to know you as a runner, review how you’re responding and adapt the training as we go.
Training going brilliantly? We progress it. Work gets hectic? We adapt it. Something starts niggling? We respond. Race doesn’t go to plan? We work out why.
AI can be good at analysing data but a coach is able to look beyond just the data and adapt your training based on your subjective feedback about how you feel and how you feel the training is going.

- You want structure and accountability
- You want support and advice from an experienced coach
- You’re a competitive runner who has hit a plateau
I signed up with Liz just over a year ago, possibly the best decision I’ve made in my running journey! The plans she creates are individual and tailored to your needs. They are detailed and broken down into ‘layman’s terms’ which is great when you don’t know your threshold from your easy! She provides weekly catch ups but is also contactable throughout the week. Her support has allowed me to achieve an hour PB on my marathon and a half marathon time close to that achieved 10 years ago! She really listens to what you need and feedback on how you’re doing and adjusts or reassures accordingly. Can’t recommend Liz enough!

Since starting my journey with Liz I have smashed my PB’s in every distance, including a 21 minute PB in the marathon! I went from an injured runner to completing my first ultra race in less than 3 months. Putting the race times and PB’s aside, I have grown in confidence as a person from my months of consistent training. I always have plenty of questions for Liz, some which I feel silly for asking but Liz is always there to answer them and give me the support I need without judgement. I couldn’t be happier being trained my Liz!
I have now had liz as a running coach for just over a year and honestly never thought I would ever get the results that I’m starting to see whether is half/full marathon PB’s or 100 mile races Liz is the right coach. I was worried that I would just get a running programme and off I go but my experience has been much more personal, everybody is different some people like a lot of interaction and some not so much liz has a great balance and can not recommend her coaching enough.
Liz has been fantastic for my running. Coming back from a frightening experience I needed someone who understood I needed to retrain slowly but with confidence. I love waking up each day with an email telling me exactly what training is in store and that it syncs to my watch. The accountability means I go out and get it done knowing that I have hit key target sessions. Even the sessions I dread I end up enjoying – try saying that on your 5th hill repeat- but I honestly do even at the time of doing them. She is at the end of a What’s App for any concerns or questions and offers regular training calls if needed. Let her coach you, you won’t regret it
I have been coached by Liz for nineteen months and I can’t recommend her enough. She has helped me to increase my confidence by tailoring my sessions weekly to compensate for at times injuries/ niggles from my hyper mobility. She is always available by message and zoom calls are brilliant to help with focus and reflection on progress. I have seen increases in pacing and race placing that I have never achieved. Liz’s coaching has helped me incredibly with planning for and prep leading up to races. As a result I am planning for races that I never would have thought possible but now with Liz’s help feel are within my reach. Can’t wait to see what 2022 brings.
Liz is an incredible coach 🙌
Liz has continued to be very personable and professional from the start. From our initial consultation with her about our plans to run a 50 mile ultra in middle age, throughout our training.
Worth every penny! I’ve been coached by Liz for almost 6 months now and really love the support – with a custom training plan to fit around busy work and family life, but also with simply great listening and advice via messaging, phone and email! Overcoming some unavoidable niggles and colds, with Liz’ help, I’m pleased to have progressed and to have banked several PBs in a short period of time.
Liz is the best coach that I have ever had. I have been with her for 5 years now and have only reached PB after PB in all my races. She tailors my running program to my needs and is incredibly knowledgeable with regards to what I need and how I need to train each week. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a highly experienced coach with a brilliant work ethic. 🙂
I’ve been coached by Liz since the beginning of 2022 and only have great things to say; within the first 6 weeks I’d already achieved a new sub 20 PB in a 5K race and I’m confident that we’ll continue to chip away at my times as the year progresses. I’ve always been really impressed by how Liz listens to the type of runner I am (low mileage) and adapts my training to make the most from that – she also, quite rightly, points out when I might be over committing in terms of back to back races which is exactly what I wanted from a coach. It takes a lot for me to sit back and allow somebody else to plan my training for me (I’m a type-A control freak) but I feel really comfortable with Liz doing this and trust her expertise entirely.
I’ve really enjoyed the support and encouragement from Liz.
I’ve been Coached by Liz for 5 months now, I’ve gone from just turning up at races and winging them to running 260km a month. Every goal we set, I beat and it makes all the hard work worth while. I
“I have been following Liz’s plans for the past year and have achieved a PB in every race distance. Without Liz I wouldn’t have been as consistent and probably would have given up on running. She is always there to offer advice and pick you up when you are down. I have never felt as healthy and this is all down to my training. I will be sticking to Liz’s plan for the foreseeable future. I still have to crack the sub 3 hour marathon and achieve an ultra
