I decided I wanted to run the Manchester Marathon & I had no idea where to start. I suffer with lower back pain so I wanted to ensure I did not injure myself along the way.

From my initial session with Anne, she fully understood my goals, putting me at complete ease. Anne personalised my training plan, which set achievable targets, whilst pushing me and challenging my capabilities, ensuring I was able to stay on track. Anne was with me every step of the way, being on hand to provide updates and guidance via the app in the run up to the big day, keeping me calm.

I wouldn’t have been able to complete the marathon without Anne’s help and support. I would recommend her to anyone!

After struggling with injuries in previous marathon training blocks, I reached out to Anne for help. She created specific Strength and Conditioning sessions and a bespoke training programme. I couldn't thank Anne enough for the constant guidance and motivation through the training programme, navigating niggles, working through illness, race strategies, and a half marathon PB in the training block!

As a result, I was able to achieve a massive 14min PB in the marathon, even feeling strong enough to push on at 20miles to a negative split!"

At 31 I have tried and failed on multiple occasions to bring running into my life, plagued with constant hip flexor injuries. I found Anne as I was determined for one last attempt. Within less than 3 months training with Anne I went from not being able to run more than 2km without hip flexor pain to running my first 10km race in 8 years (having only done one other in my life). All pain free. Everything has been highly personalised and drawn from Anne’s wealth of knowledge about all things running, mobility, strength, etc. Anne is the right balance of holding you to account yet flexible to fit training around life, and always with a focus on any particular issues in a given week. Anne has helped me all year train for the ultimate goal - Quest Adventure Race which I am doing to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Running has helped me physically and mentally with my diagnosis and without Anne I definitely wouldn’t have made the progress I have.

I can't believe I've done a marathon! I really couldn't have done it without Anne's brilliant 16 week plan, words of wisdom and 100% belief that I could do it. On the day itself I found I was not only physically, but mentally prepared - and so able to actually enjoy the whole thing, rather than endure it - even when things got tough at the 24th mile! Thanks Anne! - coach in a million!

Absolutely delighted with my run at Manchester Half Marathon after 12 weeks coaching from Anne. I came to her lacking in confidence after some disappointing races but with a combination of a varied schedule that fitted really well for me and weekly PT sessions that were pitched at just the right level I feel that I’m really back on track with my running! All the way through Anne has been super encouraging and supportive and I definitely couldn’t have done this without her! Highly recommended!

I’m a long term runner, advancing ever more quickly through the veteran categories! Injuries and niggles have also become a much more regular factor in recent years. As such, my running goals have moved - away from PB chasing and towards giving myself the best chance of keeping fit and injury-free, able to get the best out of myself and to continue to experience the joy of running. 

I did an initial running technique review with Anne which identified several issues to work on and we’ve been having PT sessions for a few months now. I’m feeling so much stronger now when running - (and indeed in daily life). I notice that I still feel strong and remain upright at the end of a hard run, rather than slumping head down! And I’ve even got a couple of races lined up for later this year.

I love the specific running focus in the sessions and I’ve learnt so much from them. I’d highly recommend Anne. She is an excellent trainer - a great runner herself and she absolutely understands the highs and lows, anxieties and exuberance of running. She’s supportive, encouraging and knowledgeable, and everything we do is clearly demonstrated and where necessary adapted to take into account any niggles or issues. Combined with a weekly tailored running programme it’s just what I was looking for!

Anne’s 12-week programme has surpassed all my expectations.  The bespoke training plan consists of different run sessions, strengthening and conditioning work and a weekly 1:1 PT session with Anne via Zoom.  Everything is tailored to my level of ability and what I want to achieve. 

I am now so much fitter, stronger and also have a couple of PBs that I never thought I’d be capable of!

It has certainly kept me focused during lockdown and I’m really looking forward to seeing what I can achieve in the next 12 weeks!

Anne has created a training program to train me for my first ultra marathon. I have been running solo for many years but have never felt as strong or as fit as I do now and I am only 8 weeks into a 20 week program!! For over 5 years I have suffered with persistant  IT band and runners knee issues. Both of these issues have  resolved since I started training with Anne which I can only put down to her running focused strength sessions and reminders to stretch! Anne is very personable, she  always listens to you and will adjust sessions if needed. I am not sure how I will go back to training without her!
