Online coaching

Tell me your goal and I’ll help you make it happen.

Whether you’re new to running, coming back after a break, or working towards a race, if you want training that fits around your actual life rather than the other way round, this is for you.

If you’ve tried following a generic plan and struggled to stick to it, or had a go at an app but wanted someone who actually knows you and can adapt when things don’t go to plan, that’s exactly what I do.

We’ll be in contact every week. You’ll tell me how your training has gone and I’ll adjust things accordingly. Miss a session because life got in the way? I can adapt your plan. Not feeling a particular session? We can change it.

How it works

We’ll start with a chat by phone or email where you’ll tell me your goal. I’ll ask you about your running history, how you like to train, and how your week typically looks.

From there I’ll set up your training on a training platform so you can see everything in one place, and view it on your phone. I’ll plan a month ahead so you always know what’s coming, and tweak things as we go based on how your training is progressing. I’ll also be on hand to answer any questions, or just to have a moan to. Any questions answered within 24 hours.

Testimonials

Laura was great at helping me create a bespoke training plan for an upcoming half-marathon which catered to my existing running and social commitments and let me run the way I wanted to. She listened to my needs, concerns and goals and created a plan that I am confident in sticking to and enjoying.
Laura Hooke, Richmond Half
I went to Laura looking for an 8-week half-marathon training plan that would challenge me but still leave time for plenty of cross training. She took my preferences and past experience into consideration, and came up with one that was so achievable that (for the first time) I followed a plan to the letter, even the dreaded speed sessions. The result was a PB by more than 6 minutes on a hilly course which I finished feeling strong and very happy!
Clare Wilkes, Blenheim Half
Laura created a 16-week training plan for my second ever half-marathon. She kept the workouts interesting and challenging and factored in a weekly running commitment I already have. Thanks to Laura’s help I achieved a PB by 15 minutes! As a newish runner I found some training plans really intimidating, but Laura made the whole thing feel really accessible, even all the tricky things I thought I’d never understand – like sprints and surges. I can’t wait to use Laura’s training plans again to help me train and prepare for my first marathon!
Leonora, Staten Island Half-Marathon
The race went incredibly well and I really can’t thank you enough for your help in putting together a training plan that worked so well. I always knew that training for a half would involve hard-work and time but at the start I wasn’t 100% sure I would achieve all of the runs set out. However, over the weeks I got there each time, surprising myself along the way.

I finished yesterday in 2:40.59, exceeding all of my expectations. I’m completely overjoyed and proud of my time
