RunThrough Coach Reviews 62

I have completed the Strong2Run marathon challenge facilitated by RunThrough coach. Throughout the 3 weeks I was coached by Kirsty Hiller and had access to sessions which helped me understand more about running as a whole (pacing, fuelling, other training options etc).
Final Surge was easy to use and knowing I had Kirsty on hand to provide feedback and guidance really helped keep me motivated. I learnt new techniques and found a new mindset towards running.
I look forward to continue working with RunThrough Coach in preparation for my marathon.

I have just completed three weeks of run coaching thanks to Kirsty Hillier as part of the Run Through Strong2Run marathon challenge.
I learned so much about pacing, fuelling, strength and conditioning ahead of the London marathon.
The workouts were so easy to follow on Final Surge.
You could view what sessions you had completed and Kirsty gave valuable feedback on what had gone well and ways you could improve.
I’m feeling much more prepared and knowledgeable ahead of race day.

Great day at Birmingham University for the physiology workshop facilities by Dave, Sam and Matt. Dave is a leading physiologist and makes the science easy to understand. His team of testers were uber efficient. The support from Adam and Matt was fab, they explained the session clearly and brilliantly facilitated the warm up. Don’t be put off if you aren’t a racing snake, I’m a bit of a plodder and found the session doable and really enjoyable. Looking forward to getting my report to help me continue to progress my running. Thank you all.

Thoroughly enjoyed the running technique workshop this weekend, it was accessible for novices like myself and seasoned runners. The teaching element was really insightful and they shared lots of tips along the way too. I really benefitted from the practical elements, this has given me the confidence to start using the drills and being more disciplined and thorough when warming up.

Kirsty & Dave made us feel so at easy and they have a lot of knowledge and expertise about navigating trail runs. I would definitely recommend them as running coaches and would like attend another of there sessions in the future.

Had a guided recce for the upcoming ladybower ultra, Kirsty and Dave guided around the course giving useful advice about technical trails and signposting the course as we went, we met in the above next to the cafe in Hope with everyone introducing themselves, then off to the trails we went, a good pace and never feeling under pressure, Dave and Kirsty are machines but didn’t make us feel inferior in any way, I would thoroughly recommend doing a guided recce prior to your race, value for money and has left me wanting more !

My coach, Matt, has been brilliant. He struck exactly the right balance between being encouraging and available with letting me get on with my training in the context of a busy life.
The overall experience has been great.
There were so many times when, if I didn’t know that Matt was linked to my Strava, I either wouldn’t have trained or wouldn’t have put in the extra bit of effort and maybe wouldn't have got to the marathon finishing line.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it!!!

I attended this one day workshop hosted by the New Levels Coaching team with Paula Radcliffe herself. It was absolutely brilliant, full of gems of knowledge. All the team and Paula were very welcoming and supportive to runners of all abilities. It was breathtaking to be in the company of Paula, in particular. A rare opportunity and well worth attending.

I recently attended the Paula Radcliffe Workshop! What an amazing experience that was, omg yes meeting and being in a room with Paula was the dream, still pitching myself now, however this workshop was so much more, great Coaches, advice stories, the track session, and being in a room with like minded runners was amazing! Loved it all and i now know a little a bit more to help me improve running performance. Im glad I pressed the button and signed up, thank you Lewis and the team, I will be back.

Brilliant day bringing together a wealth of expertise and obviously Paula Radcliffe! The coaches are all so encouraging, you really leave on a high. Highly recommend this workshop.

A fabulous day, full of enthusiastic and well informed advice and guidance on running a successful marathon, not to mention the amazing and inspiring Paula Radcliffe.
Well organised practical and theoretical sessions with Paula’s input throughout the day. Great opportunity to share experiences with other attendees in a relaxed and fun environment.
Thank you to all involved in organising and running it and for Paula in making my day!

I had a brilliant day at the Tittesworth Recce. Coaches Kirsty and Dave were fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and approachable. They provided plenty of opportunities to ask questions, practice key trail techniques, and build confidence on the terrain. The route was beautiful, and the pace was well-judged to suit a range of abilities. I left feeling more prepared, motivated, and genuinely excited for trail running. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their trail running skills in a supportive and fun environment!

Had a fantastic day with the new levels coaching team Kirsty and Dave, we did the recce run at tittesworth reservoir. They were both very knowledgeable and pushed us when we needed it and backed off when it was needed too, such a good day, lots of fun and great value for money, can’t wait for the next one

I had a fabulous time at the Tittesworth water Recce day. Kirsty and Dave were so knowledgeable and supportive, and I came away with some great tips to help me out on the trails. We looked at ascending and descending rough trial terrain, and looked at different fuelling options. The route was tough, but the team were brilliant, keeping me in good spirits in the final few km. It was very blustery at the top, gorgeous views and fun had by all. I highly recommend getting involved with the Recce days held by New Levels coaching. Thanks Kirsty and Dave, I had a blast 😊!!

Drills and technique were new to me, and I was determined to reignite my passion for running after a couple of years away from it. The workshop began with an inspiring presentation that illuminated the theory behind our activities. We then dove into practical elements, embracing mobility exercises, drills, plyometrics, and exhilarating track sessions.

I highly encourage anyone looking to enhance their running technique to join this workshop. The instructors are not only welcoming but also possess a wealth of knowledge that can truly elevate your running journey.

What a great day! The team at New Levels Coaching are friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and encouraging. The workshop was well structured with an initial briefing detailing the day then a round robin of activities delivered by the enthusiastic coaches. Lunch was provided which was excellent then the afternoon put everything into practice on the running track. Overall a great day providing me with drills and technique’s to improve my running. Highly recommended !

Can't speak highly enough of this day. Extremely well designed workshop. The classroom content is thorough - enough to allow a good understanding of the testing protocol and the subsequent interpretation of the results - and yet concise. The testing is carried out professionally and efficiently. The coaches are highly personable and highly knowledgeable. The day is interactive and dynamic throughout. A must for any running enthusiast.

I have been a member of New Levels Coaching for approaching a year. I attended the Paula Radcliffe workshop and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

The day consisted of a mix of theory and a track session following drills. The atmosphere was professional yet casual and extremely interactive with ample time for questions throughout the day. Apart from the insightful theory during the practicals there was feedback in particular on form. I will be returning to a future workshop I enjoyed it that much.

Writing as a senior athlete (over 65) I can vouch for the inclusiveness of NLC, they are not the least bit elitist (although the coaches have international honours to their names) the experience I have is one of interacting with staff who strive to make you as good as you can be.

Great Marathon training day with New Levels & Paula Radcliffe! So much experience in one room and so much shared… gave me lots to think about - in a good way! Loved the morning track session and the afternoon talks were insightful and have motivated me again to think about what I’m doing and to plan ahead!
Big thank you to everyone involved.

Having met Kirsty in Jan at a running workshop I started working with her as I was preparing for IM Thun. I wanted accountability and to work with someone who had done the distance. I loved the process and the support Kirsty gave me. It was great to have someone to run ideas through with and accountability when it came to getting the training done. I’m really motivated but you can’t underestimate the importance of working with a coach who has been through the process and someone who can help you when things feel tough. If you have a big event… get a coach and I highly recommend Kirsty to get you through. Needless to say, I’ve signed up for next year!!
