THE RUNNING FRAMEWORK
Stop Guessing Your Way Through Training: The Proven System That Gets You to the Finish Line Strong Without Wrecking Your Body or Your Week
Training with a plan that actually fits your real life is the key to crossing the finish line confident and injury-free… and it's only attainable through The TAP Running Framework's personalised coaching system.
Training for your first 5K, 10K, half, or full marathon?
ā
Here's the blunt truth most running coaches won't tell you:
ā
Most runners grind themselves into the ground… and still show up on race day tired, under-prepped, or injured.
ā
You've downloaded the apps. You've followed the "beginner plans." You've pushed through the pain.
And yet… something still feels off.
ā
š You're constantly playing catch-up with missed sessions
š You're second-guessing your pace on every run
š You're one niggle away from throwing in the towel
š Deep down, you're terrified race day will expose that you weren't ready
ā
Sound familiar?
ā
ā
Here's what nobody tells you about those "proven plans" you've tried:
āā
ā
ā They were never designed for you.
ā
ā Generic app plans assume you're a robot with unlimited time
ā Cookie cutter programmes don't care if you missed Tuesday's run because of a work deadline
ā "Just follow the plan" advice ignores your sore knee, your family commitments, your actual life
ā
ā They pile on miles you can't realistically do.
You miss sessions.
You push harder to "make up for it."
You end up injured, burnt out, or doubting whether you're cut out for this.
ā
That's the cycle and it's why so many runners start strong but never make it to race day feeling ready.
āā
Here’s what we’ll do instead:
The TAP Running Framework isn't another plan you have to squeeze your life into.
ā
It's a coaching system that builds the plan around YOUR life.
ā
ā We map your training around work, family, and your actual schedule not some fantasy version of it
ā
We scale your mileage and intensity based on how YOUR body responds not what week 8 says you "should" do
ā
We adapt in real time when life happens because it will
ā
We get you to race day consistent, confident, and injury free not limping and hoping
ā
This isn't about just crossing the finish line.
ā
It's about crossing it strong.

Imagine this:
ā
It's race morning. Your kit's laid out. Your gels are packed. Your pacing strategy is dialed in.
And instead of that familiar knot of panic in your stomach…
ā
You feel ready.
Not "I hope I can do this" ready.
Actually ready.
ā
You step on the start line knowing:
ā
-
Your body is strong and resilient (not held together with KT tape and prayers)
ā
-
Your nutrition and hydration plan works (because you've tested it a dozen times)
ā
-
Your pace won't blow up half way round (because you've trained at race pace, not guessed at it)
ā
-
You're going to finish AND finish well
ā
That's what training with TAP looks like.
ā
š No more guessing
š No more boom-and-bust cycles
š No more showing up underprepared and hoping for the best
ā
Just you, a plan that works, and a finish line that doesn't feel like a question mark.
ā
Most runners don't fail because they're lazy. They fail because the plan fails them.
ā
Look, I get it. You've been burned before.
Some guru promised you'd "run your best race ever" if you just bought their £9.99 PDF plan.
That didn't work out.
ā
So why should you trust me?
ā
Here's Why:
ā 2,000+ runners coached (beginners to experienced marathoners)
ā
1,000+ 5 Star reviews from real people who showed up on race day ready
ā
Personal trainer and sports therapist with years of hands on experience
ā
Worked with runners just like you busy lives, tight schedules, real bodies with real limitations
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
ā
"I would never in a million years thought I'd be able to run a half marathon. Thank you for helping me believe in myself. Joining TAP has not only boosted my confidence in running but also in every aspect of my life."
ā
"Thank you for the training and for helping me believe in myself."
ā
— Hannah Hope, Personal Trainer
ā
Let's be honest about what's really going on here.
You think the problem is:
ā
ā You're not disciplined enough
ā You're not fast enough
ā You're not "runner material"
ā
That's not it.
The real problem?
You've been sold a lie.
ā
The lie is: "All runners need the same thing just run more miles."
ā
But here's the truth nobody wants to say out loud:
ā
Your body isn't the same as the person who wrote that plan.
Your life isn't the same as the person who ran that time.
Your schedule, your recovery capacity, your injury history none of it is the same.
ā
So why are you following a plan designed for someone else?
ā
You don't need more grit.
You don't need to "just push through."
You need a plan that respects your reality.
And once you have that everything changes.
ā
Who/What Is To Blame? (The Enemy)
ā
So if it's not your fault… whose fault is it?
Let me show you the real culprits:
ā
Enemy #1: The Running App Industrial Complex
ā
RUNNA. Strava plans. "Cheap/Free" programmes that assume you're a full time athlete.
They promise personalisation.
What you get is:
ā
-
A robot that doesn't care if you're exhausted
-
A plan that punishes you for being human
-
Zero accountability when you inevitably fall behindā
-
ā
Enemy #2: The "No Pain, No Gain" Cult
ā
The voices that tell you:
ā
-
"Real runners train through injuries"
-
"If you're not sore, you're not working hard enough"
-
"Missing a session means you're weak"
ā
Bullshit.
ā
That's how you end up injured, not how you get to the finish line.
ā
Enemy #3: The One-Size-Fits-All Lie
ā
The belief that if a plan worked for someone, it should work for everyone.
ā
Here's what actually happens:
ā
š Week 1-3: You're excited, you're crushing it
š Week 4-6: Life gets busy, you miss sessions, you feel guilty
š Week 7+: You're either injured, burnt out, or frantically Googling "is it too late to defer my race?"
ā
Sound familiar?
ā
It's not you. It's the system.
ā
And it's time to stop blaming yourself for a plan that was never designed to work for real people with real lives.
ā
Why Now?
ā
Here's the thing about running goals:
ā
The "perfect time" to start never comes.
ā
Maybe you've already got a race on the calendar 12 weeks out, 20 weeks, whatever.
ā
Or maybe you're still in the "someday I'll do a 5K" stage.
ā
Either way here's what happens when you wait:
ā
If You Don't Have a RACE/PARK RUN Yet:
ā
ā "Someday" turns into next year, then the year after
ā You keep watching other people cross finish lines while you stay stuck
ā The voice in your head gets louder: "Maybe I'm just not a runner"
ā You stay in the endless loop of starting, stopping, and feeling guilty
ā
Sound familiar?
ā
If You DO Have a Race/Park Run:
ā
ā You run out of time to build proper fitness
ā You skip the foundations because "there's no time"
ā You rush everything and show up undertrained or injured
ā You end up doing exactly what you did last time winging it and hoping
ā
Or worse you defer. Again.
ā
Here's What I See All The Time:
ā
-
The "Waiting for the Right Moment" runner: Always has a reason why now isn't the time. After this work project. After the holidays. After life calms down. (Spoiler: it never does.)
ā
-
The "I'll Start My Plan in 2 Weeks" runner: Keeps delaying the start date because they don't feel "ready enough" yet. Then suddenly the race is 6 weeks away and they panic.
ā
-
The "Maybe Next Year" runner: Registered for a race, then deferred it. Then deferred it again. Now it's been 3 years and they're still telling people "I'm training for a marathon."
ā
Here's the Hard Truth:
ā
You'll never feel "ready enough" to start.
Not ready enough to book the race.
Not ready enough to begin training.
Not ready enough to call yourself a runner.
ā
But here's what I know:
ā
If you start NOW whether that's working toward your first 5K or nailing your third marathon with the right plan, the right support, and the right structure...
ā
You'll actually BE ready when it matters.
ā
Not "maybe."
Not "hopefully."
Actually ready.
ā
The Window Is Small
ā
I only open 5 coaching spots per month.
ā
Why? Because I don't do assembly line coaching. I work with you personally. That takes time and attention.
ā
Whether you're a complete beginner needing someone to believe in you, or an experienced runner who's tired of going it alone there's a spot for you.
ā
But only if you act now.
ā
Why Should YOU Trust US?
ā
Fair question. The internet is full of "coaches" with a weekend certificate in coaching and a Canva template.
ā
So let me tell you who I am and more importantly, what I've done.
ā
ā Personal Trainer (PT)
ā UKA Running Coach with over 12 years experience
ā
Sports Therapist
ā
2,000+ runners coached from couch-to-5K beginners to seasoned marathoners
ā
1,000+ 5-star reviews from real clients with real results
ā
Successfully run two physiotherapy clinics in Warwick and Stratford Upon Avon
ā
But Here's What Really Matters:
ā
I don't just give you a plan and disappear.
ā
I've worked with:
ā
-
The complete beginner who thought running was "not for them"
-
The comeback runner dealing with old injuries
-
The busy parent juggling kids, work, and training
-
The perfectionist who spirals when they miss a session
ā
I've seen it all. And I know how to get you through it.
My job isn't to make you into an elite athlete.
ā
My job is to make you into the strongest, most confident version of yourself on race day.
And I've done that 2,000+ times.
ā
How Does It Work?
ā
Here's exactly what you get when you join The TAP Running Framework:
ā
šÆ Step 1: Onboarding Questionnaire
ā
We start by understanding YOU:
ā
-
Your current fitness level
-
Your race goal and timeline
-
Your schedule and constraints
-
Your injury history
-
What's worked (and what hasn't) in the past
ā
This isn't a copy-paste job. Your plan starts with YOUR reality.
ā
š Step 2: Your Personal Run + Strength Plan
ā
You get a phased training structure built specifically for you:
ā
-
Running plan: The right mix of easy runs, long runs, and speed sessions mapped to YOUR paces, not some arbitrary chart
ā
-
Strength training: Runner specific strength 2x/week to keep you resilient and injury free
ā
-
Mobility & Prehab: Smart progressions to stop flare-ups before they start
ā
-
Nutrition guidance: Clear carb/fluid strategies for long runs and race day no more guessing what to eat or when
-
ā
Step 3: Weekly Check-Ins
ā
Every week we:
ā
-
Review your progress
-
Celebrate wins (yes, showing up counts)
-
Troubleshoot bottlenecks
-
Adjust your plan based on how your body is responding
ā
This isn't a "set it and forget it" plan. It's a living, breathing system that evolves with you.
ā
š¬ Step 4: 7-Day Message Support
ā
Got a question? Feeling a twinge? Not sure if you should push or rest?
You text me. I answer.
ā
No waiting. No "figure it out yourself." Constant accountability and guidance when you need it.
ā
š Step 5: Adjustments On The Fly
ā
Life happens:
ā
-
Work trip
-
Bad sleep
-
Missed run
-
Family chaos
ā
We don't panic. We pivot.
ā
Your plan adapts so you keep progressing even when life isn't perfect.
ā
š Step 6: Race Week Brief
ā
The week before your race, we dial in:
-
Your taper strategy (so you're fresh, not flat)
-
Your pacing plan (so you don't fly and die)
-
Your race-day checklist (kit, gels, warm-up, mindset)
You step on the line ready. Not hoping. Ready.
ā
What Does This Actually Look Like In Real Life? (Transformation)
Here's what training with TAP actually feels like:
ā
ā You Train Consistently Without Boom-and-Bust
No more all-or-nothing cycles. You build gradually, intelligently, sustainably.
ā
ā You Reduce Niggles Because Strength & Load Are Balanced
Strength work + smart progression = your body can handle what you're asking it to do.
ā
ā You Feel Confident on Long Runs (Instead of Dreading Them)
Because you know your paces. You know your fueling. You know what your body can do.
ā
ā You Know Exactly How to Pace & Fuel on Race Day
No guessing. No panic. Just execution.
ā
ā You Cross the Finish Line Proud, Confident, and Ready for the Next Challenge
Not limping. Not relieved it's over. Genuinely proud of what you just did.
ā
FAQ'S
ā
"I'm a beginner is this too advanced?"
No. We start from YOUR baseline and build logically. I've coached complete beginners through their first 5K to experienced runners chasing PRs.
ā
"What if I miss a session?"
We adapt. Life happens. The plan flexes, you don't spiral. Missing one run doesn't derail everything it's part of the process.
ā
"Do I need a gym?"
No. Dumbbells or bodyweight are enough. More kit = more options, but it's not required.
ā
"Paces confuse me."
I'll explain them simply and by feel. You'll always know what "easy" or "steady" actually means for YOU.
ā
"What if I get injured?"
We adjust. I'm a sports therapist. I know how to navigate setbacks, modify training, and keep you moving forward safely.
ā
"I've tried coaching before and it didn't work."
Most coaching is either: (a) too hands-off (here's your plan, good luck), or (b) too rigid (the plan is the plan, deal with it). TAP is neither. It's personal, adaptive, and accountable.
ā
What Do I Have To Lose? (Risk Reversal)
Let me make this ridiculously easy for you.
ā
My Guarantee:
ā
If after 30 days you have completed all sessions and haven't had any results. I'll refund you in full.
ā
No hassle. No hard feelings.
ā
The only risk is staying where you are.
ā
Which means:
ā
-
Another race cycle of guessing and hoping
ā
-
Another finish line where you wonder "what if I'd actually trained properly?"
ā
-
Another year of deferring your goals because you never felt ready
You've already tried doing this alone.
ā
How'd that work out?
ā
How Can I Get Started?
ā
Alright. Here's how this works.
ā
šØ Investment & Spots
ā
I keep my coaching numbers tight so every runner gets real, personal attention.
I'm opening 5 coaching spots this month for runners who want to:
ā
ā
Train consistently without breaking down
ā
Stop second-guessing paces and fueling
ā
Show up on race day confident and ready
ā
What You Get:
ā
ā Personal run + strength plan built around YOUR life
ā Weekly check-ins to celebrate wins and troubleshoot challenges
ā 7-day message support text me anytime

ā
If you're still reading this, you already know.
You know you're tired of guessing.
You know you're tired of generic plans that don't fit your life.
You know you want to show up on race day actually ready not just hoping for the best.
The question is: Are you ready to do something about it?
ā
I've got 5 spots open this month.
ā
If that’s you:
CLICK HERE AND MESSAGE ME SAYING: “I’M IN.”
P.P.S. Still on the fence?
Ask yourself this: "If I don't do this now, where will I be in 3 months?"
ā
Probably in the same place.
Guessing. Hoping. Wondering if you're good enough.
Or you could be on the start line ready.
ā
Your call.
