One to One Running Coaching Session

Running with an efficient and effective technique will make you a much faster runner.

 

Within your 1 to 1 session, our coaches can film you running to then show and discuss with you. This will help you to understand and visualise the running technique coaching points that our coach is giving you.

 

After the session your coach will write up your running technique report and send it to you. This report will contain the footage taken, the coach's findings and their recommendations to help you improve your running technique.

Strength and conditioning is an essential part of training but is often an area that's overlooked.

 

By overlooking this area you’ll never reach your full running potential. The most successful runners at all levels will always use to improve their performance.

 

Strengthening your legs, core and upper body will make you a more efficient runner, reduce your risk of injury, allow better recovery, improve your stamina and increase your leg speed.

 

Our carefully planned 1 to 1 strength and conditioning sessions will help you achieve all the above!

 

Our coaches will take you through a dynamic warm up, focused work out, cool down and stretch.

We are based in London, Gloucestershire and Oxofridhsire. Once you have purchased a session, we'll drop you an email within two working days with an introduction and two questionnaires to fill out. We'll also arrange a convenient location and suitable time for your session.

I am 47 years old and have 2 London marathons under my belt-slow and steady has always been my motto. I decided to run the Manchester marathon next April. This time I wanted to train properly and achieve a PB.

 

I set a modest goal but having trained with Richard for the past 6 weeks or so I am really starting to feel I can achieve something really special next April and totally exceed my original expectations. I am getting a real buzz out of my training sessions and Richard is a great motivator. I recently shaved off 3 mins off my PB 5km (27 mins v 30 mins). The sense of achievement was brilliant. I am starting to realise there is much more to running than plodding along the Thames Path. It does not matter if you are a 6 minute/mile runner or 11 minute/ mile runner you are made very welcome. I would heartily recommend Full Potential -the clue is in the name and I am starting to realise mine!

 

I've been training with Richard for just over six months, working towards my goal of running the 2017 London marathon in under 3:20, fundamentally quicker than my 3:56 achieved in Barcelona in March 2016.  

After an initial consult and a session looking at running technique our sessions have focused on training smarter and faster but not longer with a variety of runs including slow ones! Richard has developed an entire programme built towards the marathon goal.  So far things are on track with a 1:32 PB for the MK Winter half...

I'd really recommend Richard to anyone wanting to improve. I went to Full Potential to better my times and they are certainly delivering on that! I find the sessions hard work but rewarding and am always surprised at how much we fit in.

 

Richard has a great coaching style - it's never a list of do this and do that's, more little changes that you can remember and implement.  I'm certainly looking forward to continuing my training with Richard after London as I look to qualify for Boston!

Training with Richard has restored my running confidence. He is full of running experience and knowledge and unlike other running coaches, Richard listens and understands the holistic view of what my goals are.

 

His feedback and encouragement is phenomenal, it’s always about progression and not to isolate on the things that are not going well, life of an athlete! He is always on hand and is very supportive to any questions I have, Richard cares about his clients and really aligns his passion and values into what he coaches.     

Right now I am looking forward to my next marathon, the training has already started, winter training on your own in the UK can be very daunting.  However, the training plan Richard has created for me, week by week I see a lot of high points (the occasional low points do happen that’s inevitable)  and when I take a step back I do occasionally at the end of some training runs (that’s when no one is looking) jump up and hit a fist pump in mid-air!

I wish I had discovered the Full Potential Team a while back, but all good things do happen at the right time!
