Run “old school”

An example of a personalised training program

Why get old school coaching?

Runners who benefit from the support of an experienced coach using a proven training method are the most likely to reach their full potential and stay healthy, fresh and fit. We employ the proven training principles of history’s master coaches to create training programmes and coaching support exactly fitted to your needs. No nonsense – just the methods that always worked.

How you can run “old school”

We do training plans from 800m to ultra-marathons for road, track, cross-country and mountain running and for all levels of experience. Our training plans are primarily based on the methods of Arthur Lydiard and Keith Livingstone.

What you get

What’s required?

To embark on a true old school training programme you need to be able to run for 2 hours comfortably as your long run and be able to run injury free day by day after that. If you cannot yet do this, we will put you on a Pre-Base schedule. If you’re suffering from injury or unsure whether you have good running technique, attend our workshops first. You need to be able to make at least a 12-week commitment to this programme before your first important race.

Run injury free

Run injury free workshop

Why we offer injury free running

Up to 80% of all runners report that they suffer an injury every year and spend more time and resources on rehabilitation and symptom relief than on training. This is entirely avoidable with proper movement coaching and our team of coaches can show you how in our “Run injury free” workshops. Our results speak for themselves so why not have a look at our YouTube videos.

How you can run injury free

If you are currently injured, carrying a worrying niggle or want to run with better running technique then we recommend that you attend one of our “Run injury free” workshops.
