Your training should fit your life - not compete with it.
There is more to good coaching than putting workouts into a calendar.
Your goals matter. But so do your work, family, health, recovery, motivation, previous training, injury history and everything else happening away from running.
My role is to understand the whole picture and build training around you.
That means a plan that can change when life changes, regular communication, meaningful feedback and a coaching relationship in which we both learn as we go.
The aim isn't simply to complete sessions. It's to help you become a stronger, more knowledgeable and more confident runner over the long term.
COACHING BUILT AROUND THE ATHLETE
Individual coaching, built on four simple principles.
HOW I COACH
01
Your training is built around your goals, experience, availability and response to training - rather than adapted from a generic template.
Individual
02
Training changes when you need it to. Feedback, recovery, races, illness, injury and life commitments all help shape what happens next.
Adaptable
03
The more I learn about you, the better I can coach you. Communication and honest feedback are central to the process.
Collaborative
04
The goal is not simply to get through the next training block. We work towards sustainable development, greater understanding and better performance over time.
Long term
ONE-TO-ONE COACHING
More than a training plan.
For runners who want personalised training, regular expert input and a coach who genuinely gets to know them.
Your programme evolves with you.
I analyse how training is going, listen to your feedback and make changes when needed, while helping you understand what we're doing and why.

ATHLETE FEEDBACK
What athletes say.
“Tom has helped me grow as a runner more than I ever could have alone. Tom is not only knowledgeable and experienced when setting a great program and sessions, he also helped me navigate illnesses and injury setbacks to achieve my goals and PB across all distances.”
James Cawthorpe
“Communication has always been superb, I have learnt so much about how to be a better runner both mentally and physically, plus nutrition and running shoes.”
Steve Howliston
“Incredible day — last few km with the crowds was up there with the best moments of my life. Thanks for all your help, Tom. Definitely couldn’t have done it without you.”
George Jackson
FREE MARATHON & ULTRA RUNNER'S TRAINING AUDIT
How well is your training actually supporting your goals?
Good training is about more than completing a weekly mileage target.
The Marathon & Ultra Runner's Training Audit will help you look more closely at the different parts of your current approach and identify where you're already doing well — and where there may be opportunities to improve.
You'll work through key areas of your training and receive a personalised summary to help you think more clearly about what to focus on next.
Research-informed · Practical · Free
Takes approximately 8–10 minutes · No obligation to enquire about coaching
LEARN · RUN · CONNECT
Spend time learning about your training and putting the ideas into practice.
TPPC Training Days and Weekends combine practical coached running with accessible education, discussion and individual guidance.
They are designed to help you leave with more than a good training session — you'll understand more about your running and how to apply what you've learned afterwards.
Training days, workshops and weekends.

Running has been part of my life since I was nine.
MEET YOUR COACH
I've spent most of my life learning about endurance sport — first as an athlete and, since 2015, as a coach.
Along the way I've represented England from 10km to 100km, represented Great Britain at two Ultra Trail World Championships and worked with more than 200 athletes from around the world.
But my own running experience isn't a template for how somebody else should train.
Coaching has taught me that understanding the person in front of me matters far more.
That belief led me to complete a postgraduate Master's in Sports Performance Coaching and continues to shape an athlete-centred approach built around communication, learning, health, performance and enjoyment.
Questions about coaching?
COMMON QUESTIONS
Here are some of the things runners commonly want to know before getting started.
-
No. I work with runners across a wide range of abilities. What matters more is that you have something you want to work towards and are willing to engage with the coaching process.
-
I specialise in endurance runners, particularly marathoners, ultramarathoners and committed runners looking to improve their endurance performance.
-
One-to-one coaching costs £200 per month.
-
No. There is no minimum sign-up period and no notice period. If coaching is no longer right for you, I don't want you paying simply because you're tied into a contract.
-
Communication is unlimited through WhatsApp, phone, email and TrainingPeaks.
I encourage athletes to provide feedback regularly, ideally after each session and at minimum after the key sessions of the week. The more I understand about how you're responding to training, the more effectively I can coach you.
-
We adapt.
Training isn't fixed months in advance regardless of what happens. Work, family, recovery, illness, injury, travel and how you're responding to training can all influence what we do next.
-
Yes. One-to-one coaching is delivered online and is suitable for athletes internationally.
-
