Running Coaching in Leeds

Running coaching with Benjamin suits complete beginners, recreational runners, returning runners and experienced runners looking to improve. The work usually covers endurance, consistency, technique, strength for runners, race preparation and a personalised training plan that keeps up with you.

Your Starting Point

The first conversation is simple: what you have been doing, what you enjoy, what has gone wrong before, and how much time you realistically have. Nothing is prescribed before that. A beginner and a runner chasing a faster half marathon need different first steps — but both benefit from an honest baseline.

Your Running Plan

From there, Benjamin builds a plan with a clear structure: easy running that stays genuinely easy, harder sessions placed where they fit your week, and gradual progression rather than sudden jumps in load. Plans are written to be followed on ordinary weeks, not perfect ones.

Strength for Runners

Most runners benefit from a small, consistent amount of strength and mobility work. The goal is resilience and comfortable movement over distance — not adding complicated gym routines you will not keep up.

Progress & Adaptation

Progress is reviewed over weeks. If sessions feel harder than they should, or life gets busy, the plan changes. That flexibility is the point of working with a coach rather than downloading a generic schedule.
