Fundamentals of Running Course
This Fundamentals of Running Course is all about (re)learning the basics, such as how to choose the right pace for you and your session, hydration and nutrition before, during and after your sessions, and different breathing techniques.
You will also learn how to help prevent injuries and listen to your body.
The course is accompanied by a 10-Week Base Fitness Training Plan, which can (and should) be used prior to introducing a race-specific training plan. This is especially important for all marathon runners and more advanced 5k, 10k and Half Marathon runners.
By the end, you'll feel more confident in your running abilities, be applying some useful coaching points into your training, and be ready to continue on your running journey.

How it works
How it works
As soon as you have signed up and paid for your course, you will receive a confirmation email with some useful instructions
You will then receive your Week One email on the following Sunday afternoon ready for the week ahead
Both of these emails will have a link to download your 10-Week Training Plan
There are three sessions per week on the plan, each one progressing you slightly from the last, with a couple of drop back/recovery weeks
Some points to consider at this stage:
It is worth reading these two emails and familiarising yourself with the training plan, how the emails are structured and my coaching style
More confident, regular or advanced runners can add an extra one or two runs into each week
At any point throughout the course, you can email me with any clarification questions about my terminologies
Subsequent weekly emails will arrive one week after each other on a Sunday afternoon ready for the week ahead
Each email will provide coaching advice covering a wide range of topics
Every week will give you guidance on how to proceed if you miss a session or a whole week
Each email will also contain a link to pause your course (because I know that things crop up!)
The final email will provide you with some ideas of how you can continue with your running journey
There is the option to book a 121 coaching session with me throughout the course if you need extra support and advice
About me
About me
Hi, I'm Emma and I'm a qualified England Athletics Running Coach.
I have been a runner myself since the early 90s, ranging from track to parkrun, marathon distance and even a few triathlons!
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.
In addition to my coaching qualification, I am also a qualified Sports Massage Therapist and Personal Trainer, so I can provide advice on injuries, niggles and how to rehabilitate and help prevent them with strength and conditioning exercises.
