Tom is amazing ! I can’t explain how much he has upped my standards and performance. He is great to talk to, inspirational and really helpful. If you want to simply improve in running, Tom is you guy. He knows everything about running, to diets, to triathlons and to busy schedules. Great guy !

I have worked with Tom since the beginning of my running journey after making a number of stereotypical training, racing and fuelling mistakes during my first marathon attempt. He supported my transition from gym-based training and nutrition into endurance sport. His knowledge, encouragement and attention to detail have been instrumental in my progression and have enabled me to achieve goals far beyond my initial ambitions. Tom ensures that every training plan is tailored to my goals, fitness level and schedule, striking the right balance between challenge and recovery. His communication is always prompt and supportive, with regular feedback and adjustments to training that help keep me progressing safely and consistently. What truly sets Tom apart is his ability to integrate personalised nutrition strategies alongside training plans. His tailored approach to fuelling supports performance, recovery and training adaptation, while also taking into account the demands of everyday life and the specific requirements of race preparation. Since working with Tom, I have become a stronger, more confident runner and have achieved results that once felt out of reach. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive and highly effective running coach looking to achieve ambitious goals.

I’ve had an amazing experience working with Tom as my running coach. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping you improve in a sustainable way. What I appreciate most is how personalized his coaching feels. He doesn’t simply give you a generic training plan — he listens, adapts the training to how you’re progressing, and always takes the time to explain the reasoning behind what you’re doing. He has helped me become much more consistent and confident with my running while still keeping the whole process enjoyable. Tom is also extremely supportive and easy to communicate with, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to improve over the long term. I couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone looking for a professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring running coach. Absolutely deserving of five stars!

I've been working with Tom for about two years, and the progress I've made has genuinely surprised me. I always thought of myself as a slow runner, but with Tom's guidance I've hit paces and distances I never imagined, from PB’ing my 5k and 10k to running my first half marathons and now training for my first full marathon. As a coach in the fitness industry, I know how common it is to get generic programming or coaching that doesn’t fit you. That’s never the case with Tom. His plans are personalised, he knows when to push and when to adjust, and he keeps training sustainable, effective, and enjoyable. He’s also helped me manage injuries, given invaluable nutrition advice for a plant-based runner, and kept me sane along the way. I can’t recommend Tom highly enough. Whatever distance you’re aiming for, he’ll help you get there ☺️

Having never focused on running in a structured way, Tom has filled in the gaps for me and has started me on a very exciting journey. I’ve achieved more than I could have imagined in a short space of time and I’m now hyped to see what we can achieve. Tom is incredibly knowable and super inspiring to work with. Massive thanks Tom!

I have worked with Tom for over three years now. What started with a couple of pre-marathon sessions quickly turned into signing up with him as my coach. Over that time, Tom has coached me through race PBs at every distance, from 5K through to the marathon, as well as helping me with both race-day and everyday nutrition. Earlier this year, his support became even more important when I was diagnosed with cancer. He helped me navigate my training and nutrition through my diagnosis, surgery and recovery, and then carefully guided me back to running and training again. Whether your goal is a new PB or just taking those first steps after surgery or injury on the road back to a marathon, I cannot recommend Tom highly enough.

Tom is excellent! Knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to adapt the training around your work and life constraints. He prepared me brilliantly for 50+ and 80+ km mountain races + a marathon... with great advice on nutrition as well as running. I would highly recommend him!

I have recently started working with Tom as a newbie who got a place in the London Marathon for next year. Tom has understood and accepted my goals and is dedicated to helping me achieve them. He has clinical experience in the NHS as a critical care dietitian which is great. His monthly rate is very affordable for the service he provides so as an early careers professional I was able to progress with it which is amazing. He looks at ur diet as well and is happy to review whatever info you give him on diet which is great. I’d recommend an intro call if you are curious about improving your running for any goal

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Tom. He helped me achieve a half marathon PB and more importantly to understand how to manage my food intake around my exercise. I felt stronger and healthier, so thank you Tom!
