Personal Coaching: The Ideal Way to Progress at Your Own Level

Expert guidance. Friendly support. Real results.

Hi, I’m Luke — a qualified, professional running coach and an experienced local runner with over 20 years of competitive racing and coaching experience.

My personal bests:

5K – 15 minutes

10K – 32 minutes

Half Marathon / Great North Run – 70 minutes

I’ve coached runners of all levels and ages, from complete beginners to seasoned competitors. My one-to-one coaching isn’t just about running — it’s about you.

My coaching is built around:

Your fitness background

Your motivations

What you’ve done before

What you’re currently doing

What you’d like to achieve

Why I coach

Running changes lives. It’s one of the most powerful tools for improving both physical and mental wellbeing.

My coaching is about more than finish times and PBs — it’s about people:

Your life, family, work, struggles, and dreams

Your confidence, your mindset, your story

Choosing the right training at the right time

Not every run has to be fast.

Sometimes you need to slow down and enjoy the view.

Sometimes you need to be reminded just how amazing you are.

Sometimes you need a push — to go further than you thought you could.

Sometimes you just need someone to listen.

I won’t pretend I always get it perfect, but I’ll always bring my intuition, experience, education, and most of all — genuine care.

I’ll always listen.
