reviews from athletes old and new

  • Sam

    Marcus is knowledgeable, approachable and an experienced coach. Since training with Marcus I have knocked 4 minutes off my 10k time, improved in technique and confidence and he is now helping me prepare for my first marathon! His sessions are fun and challenging in equal measures and his thought process behind each one thoroughly explained. Would highly recommend Marcus to anyone looking to start or improve their running!

  • Felicity

    Stride & Strength Coaching has helped me set 5k and 10k PBs, and generally improve my endurance. Marcus’ positive attitude and reassurance has played a huge part in me feeling ready to attempt my first ever marathon. He’s an amazing coach and I couldn’t recommend his services more!

  • Josh

    Marcus is an outstanding coach, and his training plans have significantly improved my endurance and speed. Marcus is motivating, attentive to detail, and always fosters an encouraging environment to keep you coming back. If you're looking to elevate your performance, I highly recommend.

  • Jenny

    Marcus is a lovely guy who makes everyone feel welcome at intervals sessions. He somehow makes us all smile while also making us work very hard!

  • Jamie

    Marcus is an absolute legend, he coached me through interval based sessions into achieving a sub hour 10k! He’s also just a really nice dude which made our sessions fun and made me excited to run!

  • Wiktor

    Marcus is an amazing coach and runner. His sessions helped me cut my 5K time by 5 minutes in just a few months. His drills have really improved my technique. Most importantly, however, he has helped me make running more enjoyable and fun! Highly recommended!
