How does it work?
Once a month we will speak to discuss how your training has gone; sessions that you've liked/disliked, time and days you've got in your schedule to run and what we're aiming towards.
I take that and put together a 4 week plan to help you achieve your goals with progression and structure at a pace to suit you. Your plan will be flexible, you have control to move sessions within a week to fit around those times when your spouse takes you away for a surprise weekend or you get a sickness bug and can't train. With easy to understand sessions viewed on a dedicated app.

Why work with me?
I've worked with a number of coaches over the years and felt really looked after and a little abandoned in equal measure. With that personal experience, my grounding in sports science, UK Athletics Coach in Running Fitness qualification and my United Endurance Sport Coaching Academy qualification, I'm well versed in what works as a coach and what doesn't.
Couple that with my weekly group coached sessions at ETO Running Club and you're dealing with someone who knows how to help people improve their running performance.
Most important to me, is you and I building a rapport and finding a training philosophy that works for you to achieve your goal.
No cut and paste training plans. Everyone is different, everyone's training plans are different.

WHAT ATHLETES SAY
Marie Carter
Damian’s coaching was an excellent experience. Having the online coaching achieved several things in the build up to the half marathon. It was great for discipline. Every week I knew what I had to do. It kept me on track and motivated. It also gave me a proper tailored plan to follow. I therefore knew I was properly ready. It also made me think about each run as I had to give feedback.
Neil Sheppard
Overall an excellent experience.
An excellent programme with professional guidance from Damian. The coaching sessions have been a great benefit to me, giving me structure, discipline, some flexibility and technique to my running - without this I would be running without a plan. I would suggest this programme to anyone who wants to improve or start on their running journey
Luke Crisford
Knowing that I had picked an event that was a huge ask anyway having support and accountability in training was a huge help. Especially with more structured sessions, without the coaching I know I would not have bothered to do them.
Despite the fact I didn’t finish my event I came away with a sense of accomplishment and was pleased that I was let down by my pace over the specific terrain rather than feeling as if I couldn’t go on.
Jake Searle
Very happy with the way we dealt with illness and fatigue and managed to get ready for the marathon.
Excellent experience.
