RUN THE WORLD.

After running for over 20 years, Steven had reached a point where his 5k runs felt repetitive, boring, and like a hard slog. Through working with Lucy, he not only regained his passion for running but also improved his performance.

Here's Steven's experience:

“Having run for over 20 years with all the ups and downs of injury, losing focus, running every day (thanks covid) to doing the London marathon. I was in a place where I had lost my running mojo, running 5k became repetitive, boring and just felt like a hard slog.

Working with Lucy with a clear goal in mind was a great, eye opening experience.

I thought I knew how to run faster, it's just one foot in front of the other. but Lucy showed me how subtle changes in posture and movement could help me go faster and make it easier.

She also managed my expectations. With a clear plan my runs became challenging, really hard work and at times pushed me out of my comfort zone. But at the end of each session it really felt like I had done a good workout rather than just fitting in a run.

Over the weeks the sessions became easier but Lucy would switch things up to keep me on my toes, through great communication and continual motivation at the end of the plan I was faster in my 5k, but can still get faster.

With the skills and knowledge passed on I have a clear direction going forward to help me continue....

& I will definitely call in Lucy's help again when I'm ready to start training for the next challenge!”

Ben had a very specific goal: 2.4km in 15:17 to be allowed into the Royal Air Force.

Ceri’s coaching journey with Lucy started after a foot injury had her easing back into running. Not only did she complete her first-ever half marathon injury-free, but she also shaved over 3 minutes off her 5km PB in just 12 weeks.

Here's what Ceri had to say:

“Following a gentle return to running after a foot injury, Lucy coached me with a '5km to Half Marathon plan'.

Lucy took her time to listen to my work and childcare commitments and tailored a plan that fitted in easily with these and complimented the PT and gym sessions I already did. 

Lucy did a thorough assessment before I started to get baseline measurements and also videoed my running so she could advise on my technique. She picked up that I wasn't using my arms efficiently and so brought this in to the plan.

She took note of my goal (not to finish in a particular time but to finish in one go and injury free) and kept the programme varied, interesting and manageable. Each month had a timetable which was supported with links to warmups, cool downs etc, I found this particularly useful as I could just click the links from the timetable.

Lucy was great at checking in regularly with how the plan was going and making adjustments to fit with illness etc. She was a constant source of advice and always answered my questions quickly.

I was able to run my half marathon in one go and finish with a smile on my face which was testament to how well the plan worked.

Following this, I did a 'Faster 5km plan' which built on what I had already learned about running but had quite different sessions to fit with the goal of going faster.

She offered continued motivation throughout both programmes, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I really hope that when I recover from my current injury (not running related) that I can do a "return to running" plan with Lucy”.

Jems aim is to run 10km at 4:45 pace.
