Great running program!

I fired endless amount of questions at Carl and he’d always come back in a timely manner with lots of top tips. The training app is great, displaying 3 weeks at a time of your upcoming training so you can plan your schedule which was really helpful for me.

You will achieve your goals and gain a lot more

Over the past 9 months Carl and I have gone from me carrying a reoccurring injury unable to finish 5km, to completing my first marathon in 3:38. This may look like a miracle, but in reality this was hard work, sustainable and flexible coaching, and a mutual obsession with the goal. Carl’s balanced approach factors in training, mindset, adequate rest, nutrition, work/life/training balance all making big goals very achievable. Next, we are working towards my first 70.3 Ironman next year.

If you want to smash your goals, Stride & Glory is for you!

I started working with Carl in May with the goal of completing my first marathon. Well that happened in London on Sunday with an incredible time of 3:30 and what an amazing experience it was. I trusted in my training and remembered the plan we had formed.
Since working with Carl I have smashed several PB’s at multiple distances. His training plans are easy to follow and adaptive to any niggles you might have going on. Very supportive when self doubt creeps in and always approachable.
I can’t wait to now build on the base we have formed and see what more we can achieve!

Best money I've spent on a fitness plan!

I've been following the S&G half marathon training plan and have 5 weeks left to go... it's honestly the best money I've ever spent on fitness!

The app/subscription has kept me accountable, the plan has given me structure which is what I've always struggled with, and Carl's S&G Instagram page is my fave running account to follow!

The app, communications and insta posts are all great - I really appreciate how easy everything is to follow. No chance of getting bogged down with too much of "do this / don't do that" which tends to come as part of the online fitness world. S&G is for people who just want to get stuff done and have a good time in the process... the results will definitely follow!

100% recommend to anybody thinking of taking this on... you can do it (especially if S&G is coaching you!)

Hi Carl

Hi Carl, I just wanted to thank you for my current training plan which, as you know, is helping me train towards completing the New York Marathon in November. As I am nearly 57 I don’t expect mammoth changes in my speed. However I decided to book the London Big Half as my pre half marathon as a goal to test for any improvements. The race was yesterday and I was thrilled that my time was 1:49:48 a PB which I did not expect. I feel that the intervals and circuits you sneaked into my plan (something I would normally avoid at all costs) has helped me achieve this. Thanks so much! Simone 🏃🏽‍♀️

Excellent

Only recently signed up for the 3 month plan. And I’m so impressed by Carl, the plan and the app. Carl is always available for questions and help and the training is excellent and really tough. Signed up whilst injured and unable to run so only doing the gym training, which is frustrating, but again Carl has said he’ll help with the recovery to get me running again.

As for the app itself it’s excellent. Best training app I’ve used. Everything just works and it’s really easy to navigate with loads of extra info and nutrition to help you with the plan.

Hybrid athlete program

Only been using the hybrid athlete program for little over a week and the program has been really good pushing me each session, tips have been really useful, app layout is great and easy contact with the coach Carl has been really easy via the app mainly checking in on me on my first week, all round great program, great coach.

Hi Daniel, thank you for the review! Really excited to see you achieve fantastic results. Please book a call via the app at any time if you need to talk through your training. Let’s get it!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Would recommend to anyone!

The app is easy to use and has lots of useful and helpful information on it. The training plan is well thought out and has easy to follow instructions for all the movement and strength exercises. Carl himself is super kind, knowledgeable and friendly - made me feel at ease with my goals even as a slow beginner runner. Would recommend to anyone who wants more direction in their training.

Edit update: I managed to compete the marathon I was training for (London!) And did so around the time I wanted while feeling strong, and due to the training am feeling no ill effects after! Highly recommend still!

The best training app

I have followed training plans for the majority of my life. But I have never had such in-depth instructions about each workout and meal plans that I can follow if I wish. Training is going well.

The best

The best coach I’ve had, all areas of my fitness improved with the hybrid programme. I had a different goal to the usual clients and this had no impact on the amount of time and effort that was put into myself and my plan. Communication was second to none.

Highly recommend

Training to be Stronger, better, Faster

I started my training with Carl after trying a couple other not so good programs over the past couple years. If your looking for a person that truly cares for you to succeed & a program that is easy to follow Stride & Glory “Carl” is that trainer. His program is easy to follow, he walks through each step with short videos and he is quick to answer any questions & concerns. Most of all I appreciate being able to talk to him when needed & his quick response. He is very knowledgeable in his field. I know I will do much better in my Races using his training.
