Testimonials

“I believe my longevity in the sport is testament to Sophie’s experience and expertise in endurance coaching and is what our successful coach/athlete relationship is built on.” – Andy

“Sophie has a knack of drilling down on the non-negotiables in your training programme and also knows how to structure your plan to get the best out of you. You know when the plan comes through that it will be well thought out and individual to your own needs with each session serving a purpose. She takes the time to really listen to you as both a person and an athlete and is able to create balance with them both.” – Claire

“I could not recommend a better coach than Sophie, she has excellent knowledge, a thirst to learning and wants the best for her athletes, but what I like from her coaching is that she always tries the sessions before to ensure that each session is planed to help develop each runners goals.” – Michael

“I’m well into my second year of being coached by Andy. When we started working together I had the engine, but was lacking a bit of direction, accountability and structure in my running. Over the last 2 years working with Andy I’ve managed to win multiple district medals across different disciplines and gone sub 3 in my second ever road marathon. Andy takes the time to listen to goals and objectives, forms a view then makes recommendations on what are realistic targets. Training blocks and sessions are clearly explained to give a clear understanding of the purpose and direction we are going in. It takes time to build the athlete/coach relationship and I can say that I trust Andy’s judgement totally in planning and managing my training.” – Chris

“Andy is a fantastic coach and after six months of working with him I was able to achieve my first Scottish international vest. He’s approachable, flexible around my work and receptive to my own training ideas. His experience of running internationally needs no introduction and I’m learning a huge amount from him” – Dan

“Sophie’s sessions have always been engaging, well thought out and they progressively load from week to week. Sophie is excellent at talking about why a particular session is useful. Whilst Sophie’s sessions are interesting and keep you on your toes, they are tough and she isn’t afraid of squeezing every second out of your legs!” – Matt

“Sophie is all about helping the athlete have the most enjoyable and sustainable running career- for me that includes sharing running related geekery, understanding my need for flexibility (busy life etc), helping me with the mental side (lack of motivation when the sun isn’t shining? Hell yes!) “nudging” me towards better nutrition and generally holding me accountable.” – Hannah

“Her support does not stop after training has been devised, she is there each step of the way in preparation towards your goals and aspirations for both training and racing.” – Emma
