Running Coaching Reviews

När jag började titta efter någon att ta hjälp av var återkoppling något vitalt och där tycker jag du är

Jag tog hjälp av Graeme för att förbättra mig inom löpning och landsvägscykling. Vi har bra kontakt under hela tiden och jag har förbättrat min kapacitet. Den största vinsten är att jag numer kan springa utan knäsmärtor och att mina ryggproblem nästan helt har försvunnit

Exceptional help for a newbie runner like me, not only does sportcoaching help elite athletes but looks after newbie runners like myself and goes above and beyond to see me improve

I purchased a couch to 10k training program from SportCoaching and for a newbie like me it is easy to understand and follow. So far I am already halfway through and everything feels great. I highly recommend this plan to all beginner runners

Brought the 18 week half marathon training plan, not only was it built for me but Graeme spent more than 1 hour discussing my previous training and how we could make improvements to it. He then explained in detail what training we should focus on and the results we should expect. Overall super happy and once this training plan is finished I will probably move into monthly coaching with him

Graeme was absolutely amazing throughout the whole period of training!

One of the best coaches I have worked with. Always available and have seen a big improvement in my running since starting with Graeme

Graeme has helped me improve my fitness for basketball in just one month. Thanks!

Working with my running coach has been a game-changer for me. With personalized training plans and expert guidance, I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my speed and endurance. I never thought I could enjoy running this much!

I’ve always been a casual runner, but I wanted to take my training to the next level. My running coach helped me set clear goals and structured workouts that pushed my limits while keeping me injury-free. The progress I’ve made in just a few months is astonishing

Training on my own led to burnout and inconsistency. Having a running coach has provided me with a sense of accountability and a well-rounded approach to training. The mix of workouts keeps things interesting, and the results speak for themselves.

I have seen a marked improvement over my 5km and 10km time under Graeme’s guidance. He goes out of his way to help you improve your results in a fun and motivation way. Recommend to any type of athlete that wants to make a big improvement in their results

I am a complete beginner when it comes to running. Sportcoaching has helped me progress slowly and build my fitness up to be able to handle my first marathon. I’ve also lost over 8kg in the first two months with his advice and feel like I have much more energy

I have been struggling with constant injuries for years. Graeme has taken his time to help me understand what is causing the issues and how I should structure my training to stay injury-free. Originally I signed up just for some guidance here and there, now I’m on a full monthly running plan and couldn’t be happier!

Thanks for all the support and all my questions over the years. You have helped me considerably improve my running. Thanks again!

Dropped my running time from 21mins to 17mins for 5km! Thanks for the coaching!

Fått ett utmärkt mottagande och en mycket seriös individuell plan för min fortsatta träning

Fantastic good Coach, given me great progress. Highly recommended if you want to make progress.

Good support and highly knowledgeable, highly recommended.

Graeme has a real passion for coaching and always takes that extra step to help his athletes. The knowledge and tips he provides are invaluable and so is the improvement I have made this year. Thanks!

Been injury free for over 6 months since starting with sportcoaching. Its the longest time i have been able to continually build my training volume and results without my calf problems.
