Welcome to the website!

We are excited to have you join us at Stride and Strength, a platform designed to help you achieve your fitness goals, are you striving to run faster, build strength, or do both? Whether you're embarking on your first run or you're an experienced athlete aiming for new goals, my comprehensive coaching services are here to guide you. With over 15 years of experience, I offer personalised coaching that’s rooted in a philosophy of steady, consistent improvement.

At Stride and Strength, we focus on three main areas of coaching:

1. Online Run Coaching

Our Online Run Coaching is tailored to your unique goals, whether you're just getting started, working toward a personal best, or training for a major race. We know that every runner is different, so our coaching programs are personalised to your current fitness level, experience, and the specific races or distances you're targeting.

With our run coaching, you’ll receive a detailed plan designed to improve your endurance, speed, and recovery. We focus on everything from building a solid aerobic base to incorporating speedwork, tempo runs, and long runs that work for your ability. We also pay close attention to recovery and injury prevention, ensuring that your body is properly conditioned for each phase of your training.

We monitor your progress through regular feedback sessions and data analysis, ensuring your training is adaptive and continues to challenge you appropriately. Through this, you’ll gain confidence and see measurable improvements in your performance.

2. Online Strength Training

Strength training is a vital component for any athlete, especially runners. A well-rounded strength program not only builds muscle but also improves joint stability, balance, and overall endurance. Our Online Strength Training program offers personalised workouts that focus on building strength in key muscle groups used in running and other athletic activities. We tailor each program to your goals, whether you're looking to enhance athletic performance, improve muscular endurance, or reduce the risk of injury.

The strength training programs are adaptable to athletes of all levels. You’ll have access to progressive training that focuses on key elements such as power, mobility, and muscular endurance. We guide you through every step, offering video explanations of exercises and ensuring your technique is correct to maximise results and prevent injury.

Strength training for runners is often overlooked, but I believe it’s the secret weapon for improving performance and longevity proven within my own running. By incorporating strength training into your routine, you'll run faster, feel stronger, and recover quicker from your workouts.

3. Combined Run & Strength Coaching

This program integrates both running and strength components into one seamless training plan, allowing you to develop speed, power, and endurance while building a solid foundation of strength.

With this option, you'll receive a comprehensive approach to training that focuses on all the key areas needed to become a well-rounded athlete. The combination of structured running plans and targeted strength workouts ensures that you're training efficiently and effectively. Whether you're preparing for a race or looking to achieve general fitness goals, this program offers the best of both worlds.

The benefits of combining running with strength training are numerous. By strengthening key muscle groups, you'll reduce your risk of injury, improve running efficiency, and increase your overall endurance. We design the program to suit your schedule and fitness level, ensuring a balanced approach that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
