Why?

I have been fortunate to combine a background in science, a career in data and a wonderful family with my passion for endurance running (and research). I am now at a stage where I want to help the serious everyday runner.

Through my Giving It Back Scheme, I am offering bespoke, 1:1 virtual coaching at no cost to a limited number of runners. My goal is to apply rigorous, evidence-based training principles to help you reach your specific goals—whether that is a parkrun PB or your first half marathon.

What is it?

Initial Assessment: A review of your current fitness and training history.

Bespoke Training Plan: A structured plan tailored to your potential and lifestyle. See my other pages for what we can discuss. 

Frequent Reviews: Analysis of your training metrics to adjust intensity and volume.

Email support with the option to schedule video calls etc. 

Who is this for?

This scheme is ideal for:

• Runners who want to be the best they can be whilst fitting running around their life. 

• Athletes who want to understand the why behind their workouts. 

• Individuals committed to improving. Patience is required to get the best results. 

How?

1. Register Interest: Email me to get the ball rolling - coachGary@gmx.co.uk

2. Selection: As places are strictly limited, I operate on a first-come, first-served basis.

3. Onboarding: If a slot is available, I will email you a detailed questionnaire to begin your assessment then arrange a call or meeting to get going.

4. Waitlist: If the current cohort is full, I will keep your details on a waitlist.
