First Marathon — London 2026
I started working with Phill Oct 2025 for the purpose of training for my first marathon (London 2026). I already know Phill from our running club and had recommendations from other club members.
I have been running with our club for 10 years and have participated in many events from 5K through to half marathons but have never achieved a marathon. As this potentially was my one and only marathon, I wanted to do it justice and get the correct advice and support.
I started my training plan with Phill early, 7 months before London so I had the time to adjust and get used to the training structure. It would also incorporate strength training which I had never done before.
I quickly settled into the training plan that Phill had set me. I liked the routine and the structure. The best thing for me was seeing Phill face to face once a week for one of my strength sessions. It enabled us to catch up on life and also gave me the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns. He put my mind at ease with my marathon related queries and worries.
Phill based my training plan around my life and around the running club schedule as he knew that's how I preferred to train.
I liked the accountability with providing regular feedback to Phill via the apps he uses and that he could see my results from my runs.
Phill also supported me with my nutrition to ensure I was getting the correct amount of protein/carbs etc. He gave helpful suggestions with suitable foods and recipe ideas.
Phill was always calm and empathetic. I knew he was available if I needed anything. I trusted him and felt confident in my ability to run my 1st marathon.
My marathon experience was amazing and everything I wanted it to be. I may even consider a 2nd marathon!
I would absolutely recommend working with Phill for whatever goals you want to achieve.

I know I would never have achieved what I did without Phill's help.
A marathon runner who described herself as "chaotic and fair weather", if her running partner couldn't make it, neither would she. With her first 50k on the horizon she signed up for 3 months of coaching. Phill helped her overhaul her training, nutrition and sleep habits, and she crossed the finish line exactly as she'd hoped.
Phill's empathetic, flexible and realistic approach provides the structure, accountability and support that works for me.
Running had been Pip's escape from running her own businesses, but after 3 years her training lacked real focus. Working with Phill brought structure, and far more than just running improvements. Better nutrition, better sleep, more resilience when life got tough.
