ABOUT

GET IN TOUCH

Hi, my name is Emma Shergold and I am an England Athletics Running Coach based in the UK.

I have been coaching runners for many years, helping them to reach their goals, overcome challenges, and understand the importance of following a training plan that is suitable for them.

I have also led some very successful Beginner Running Courses over the last few years, and developed a popular Return to Running Course that helps people return to running after a prolonged break.

All of this experience provides me with the knowledge and understanding required to coach people new, returning, and more regular or experienced runners.

I have been a runner myself since the early 90s, ranging from track to parkrun, marathon distance and even a few triathlons!

I have progressed my career from Sports Massage Therapy to including Personal Training (Strength & Conditioning), and then onto qualifying as an England Athletics Running Coach.

On a personal level I have had more than my fair share of issues that have left me unable to run at all and needing to rebuild my fitness from a beginners level.

One of my favourite coaching qualities is being able to empathise with my runners - if I can truly put myself in your shoes then I have a much better view of where you're at and where to go next.

Who I work with

Although I can support most runners' goals, my passion and particular expertise lies with beginner runners and runners that are returning after a break, particularly following illness or injury.

Having been in this situation a few times myself, I can fully empathise if you find yourself in this position, and I understand how utterly heart-breaking it is to have to start again from the beginning.
