We Run: The UK's Local Running Coach Reviews 310

After a false start where the first coach I was paired with didn’t get in touch, I was then paired with Lauren, who was brilliant. She was patient, listened to all my concerns and goals, and matched her coaching session to them perfectly so that everything was addressed in the 90 mins we had together. I feel that she has made a lasting difference to my approach to running, both mentally and physically.

I have been training with Lee for over a year now and have absolutely loved every session!
In our initial session Lee taught me how to run correctly and gave me exercises to improve my technique and prevent injury.
Every session we do together is different, enjoyable and is adapted to how I feel and performing on the day. Not only is it technically a great session and my running speed and technique has drastically improved since working with Lee, but he is also one of the kindest people I have met. I always look forward to a good catch up and would be continuing to train with Lee if I wasn’t moving abroad.
Thanks Lee for being such a coach.

The training plan was just what i needed as someone new to the distance, Alexa listened to my needs and came up with a plan based on what i was able to comit to and led to me completing the event i was targetting (my 1st 50k)

Janita is a great coach and has provided me with some great tools for helping with speed and better quality running going forward

Anne-Marie was really helpful. We worked through a lot of things and she gave me a detailed breakdown on how I can improve my running. I found the experience very interesting and useful. Thank you

We run is just what I needed to get my running form correct and more efficient.
Cathy is a great coach and very knowledgeable 👍 I want to book another session with her soon.

Quick response times with finding a coach. Jan is very knowledgable and the session was very informative and eye opening. Highly recommend!

Leah has been truly wonderful to work with, very encouraging and supportive with a passion for running and coaching.
Im so pleased that i got to work with and be supported by Leah on my journey

Ieva has been a fantastic coach in helping me develop my running skills and prepare for my half marathon.

She’s taught me valuable techniques—from proper stretching before and after a run, to pacing myself more effectively and avoiding the habit of starting off too fast. I’ve also learned how to improve my posture, lift my knees, and use my arms correctly—especially during those tougher moments in a run.

I highly recommend Ieva to anyone looking to improve their running technique and confidence.

Coach Nigel was very easy to talk to which I appreciated because it was my first time having a coach. His approach works very well with getting to know me and my goals. He was always on time and his encouraging words motivated me. The training sessions were purposeful and I felt a change in my fitness over the weeks.

Lee was fantastic, took his time guiding me through different areas that need work what was working well. There is so much more to know than you can imagine. Cannot recommend highly enough

Short story is I trust in kelvin he massively improved my running. Longer version
I trained with kelvin horner from 0 experience to a decent standard of running, converting from bodybuilding to long distance running was never gonna be easy , especially whilst maintaining muscle and strength training. At 5 foot 10 and 15 stone of decent muscle I managed to complete 4 marathons in one year and several half’s , with kelvin’s help , after one year out to run in chaos I am now revisiting my partnership with kelvin ready to take on a huge 950 miles on foot in 3 weeks challenge April 2026

I really enjoyed my running coaching session with Siobhan In SE London, she was very professional and helped me with a lot of things and reignited my passion for running (all within 1 hour) - I will continue doing more sessions with Siobhan and I’m excited to make progress. Thanks Siobhan!

The session was booked as a birthday surprise for me, not something I had heard of before. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and appreciated the advice i was given. As a mature runner, I feel it will benefit me in my efforts to stay injury free for some years to come.

Kate was really knowledgeable and helped me massively with improving my running, even when I kept signing up for different events. She would adjust my training plans to fit in. And had great advice and tips for running posture and technique. Thank Kate, I am sure that I will use you again when I set myself a running goal.

The training programs provided by Alexa has completely transformed my fitness. Following this has allowed me to barely being able to run a 5k to running a marathon within 16 weeks.

Alexa was able to provide me with professional input and advice when it came to creating my plan, and was very helpful at answering any questions I had along the way.

The information provided along side the training plan was incredibly helpful, which included advice on nutrition, stretching and much more.

Couldn’t recommend Alexa enough!! :)

I am very happy with my "local running coach". She's an experienced coach and a seasoned marathon runner, but as always, communication is the key thing. She understands what a runner who is over 70 needs, but also what he needs to change in order to be prepared for his marathon later this year, and translates that in practical, well designed exercises. Very supportive.

From start to finish the process has been great. Easy to follow, informative with clear communication. Andy was fantastic - flexible with booking the session, kept me in the loop leading up the session and on the day was helpful, informative and has already helped me to implement things into my running and fitness. I would highly recommend the We Run service and specifically call out Andy as being exceptional!

I found Fran the coach really helpful and the report she produced for me was excellent. It's given me some clear changes I need to make to improve my running form and advice on how to go about it.

Great plan, great advice and got me round my first marathon easily would definitely recommend
