If you’re signed up for a spring marathon March, April or May 2026 and already feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety…
You’re not alone.
I speak to a lot of runners at this stage of the year. The race is in the calendar, the countdown’s on, but the questions start creeping in:
“How am I going to fit all this training around work, life and everything else?”
“What if I get injured halfway through?”
“I’ll probably end up winging it again like last time…”
And I get it.
Most marathon plans online are either overly generic or designed for people who only run.
But most of the runners I work with aren’t full time athletes. They’re individuals juggling training with busy lives, demanding jobs, and other priorities. And they want to run a race they’re proud of — without sacrificing everything else to do it.
What If This One Could Be Different?
Over the past year, I’ve developed a coaching method designed specifically for individuals like you those who want to train smarter, stay injury-free, and enjoy the process.
It’s the approach I’ve used with runners who’ve:
Knocked serious time off their PBs
Come back stronger after injury
Finally crossed the finish line with a smile instead of a limp
And right now, I’m opening up 2 1:1 online coaching spots for Spring marathoners starting next week.
Who This Is For:
✅ You’re signed up for a spring marathon (April or May)
✅ You want a personalised plan, not a cookie-cutter download
✅ You’ve been injured before and don’t want to repeat the cycle
✅ You want support and structure to keep you consistent
✅ You want to finish strong, not broken
What You’ll Get:
🏃♂️ Bespoke running plan: tailored to your schedule, pace, and lifestyle
🏋️♀️ Strength and mobility training: to support your mileage and reduce injury risk
🧠 Mindset coaching: for the hard sessions and confidence dips
🍝 Simple, realistic nutrition guidance: no carb cutting or overthinking
This isn’t just about “getting it done.”It’s about training in a way that fits your life and sets you up for your best race yet.
Ready to Run Smarter?
I’ve only got 2 spots open for this intake and once they’re gone, they’re gone.
If you’re even thinking “I want this marathon to be different”…
Let’s get you to that start line prepared and across the finish line proud.
