About Jimmy

A team of 2: Having run over 33,000km & completed more than 100 road & trail races from 10k all the way up to 200 miles between them, we combine our 30+ years of running experience with scientific data-based coaching techniques. Both UESCA Marathon & Ultra Running coaching certified coaches, we build balanced & tailored race & distance plans accessible to all runners. We love running & the joy & friendships it has brought us over the years - our goal is to help everyone experience this & unlock their full running potential so that they don’t just run, but enjoy every step of the journey!

Coaching Philosophy

Keep training simple:
No heart rate monitors, no zones, no confusing terminology, just easy to follow time & effort-based training sessions loaded with helpful running tips to make you an all-round better runner.
Keep training useful:
Targeted sessions with explanations for the how & why of the exercise ensure you get maximum impact from your training time, and most importantly NO JUNK MILES!
Keep training accessible:
No spreadsheets or complicated expensive coaching. Plans are built for specific race profiles & conditions, easily available & easy to follow for runners of all abilities in our bespoke mobile app, all for the price of a craft beer per week.
Keep training personal:
No automated responses, no radio silence, no overbearing coaching. If you’re self-motivated & like to train alone, great! If you want to discuss every detail of the run, also great! We’re 24/7 & LIVE for this!
