€65/month

Our Novice Running Coaching Package is typically designed for individuals who are new to running or have little experience. The goal is to help you build a foundation, improve fitness, and develop a sustainable running habit.


1. Personalised Running Plan

  • Customised Weekly Schedule: Tailored training sessions that gradually increase in intensity and distance based on the individual’s goals, fitness level, and available time.
  • Beginner-Friendly Goals: A focus on achievable milestones such as running for a set amount of time, completing a specific distance, or participating in a 5K.
  • Progressive Structure: The plan will gradually build up endurance, strength, and speed to avoid overtraining or injury.
  • Adaptable Training Plan: Adjustments for runners with busy schedules, different fitness levels, or who experience setbacks.


2. Injury Prevention and Recovery

  • Stretching and Warm-Up Routines: Specific routines before and after runs to improve flexibility and reduce muscle tightness.


3. Nutrition and Hydration Tips

  • Basic Nutrition Guidance: Tips on fuelling before, and after runs (e.g., when to eat and drink, and the types of foods that support energy and recovery).


4. Coaching Support

  • Monthly Check-ins: A combination of phone, or email check-ins to discuss progress, challenges, and adjustments to the training plan.
  • Email Support: Ongoing access to the coach for questions, concerns, or guidance throughout the program.


Our novice running coaching package is about creating a supportive and comprehensive environment that encourages consistent progress while minimising the risks of injury and burnout.
