1-to-1 Tailored online running Coaching
About Me
Hi, I’m Alex! I’m an independent online running coach and the founder of Runners Performance.
I’m currently in my third year at the University of Plymouth studying Physiotherapy, where I’m developing my understanding of human anatomy and physiology, injury rehab, and optimising athletic performance.
Outside of university, running is a huge part of my life. But I wasn’t always as passionate about running as I am today. Once I started to look into the science behind various training principles, and subsequently apply it to my training, it all started to click.
My goal is to help others discover that same joy and drive for improvement that running has brought to my life.

Why me as your coach?
In recent years, AI coaching platforms have surged in popularity, and while they can be useful, they often lack one crucial element: human connection!
What happens when life gets in the way? What if a session needs adjusting? What’s the best way to do this effectively?
That’s exactly where I come in. I offer real communication, flexible planning, and a personalised approach that’s built on understanding you as a person, not just your data.
We’ll work together to build a plan that fits your life and helps you get the most out of your running.
what I offer
-
Training plans will be delivered to you via Final Surge. Training will be set and adjusted a minimum of bi-weekly. This allows for me to adjust plans based on your current level and progress, whilst also giving you prior notice to prepare and plan training around your life.
-
You will have full access to communication with myself via Whatsapp. Here we can discuss any questions, queries or feedback you have. I will always encourage feedback to better understand how training is going for you and to help me inform my coaching decisions.
-
Based on my experience of training, running, and my physiotherapy studies, I can provide you with:
Strength and conditioning and cross‑training suggestions.
General fuelling advice for optimal training and racing performance.
Support with managing training loads and understanding common running injuries.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a qualified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, or HCPC‑registered physiotherapist (currently a student physiotherapist). Any guidance I offer regarding these areas is intended as general advice, based on my experience, research, and training. It should not replace medical advice or specialist instruction.
The process and pricing
Enquire
Complete the enquiry form below. Please provide a general overview of your current training, goals, races etc.
Consultation
Once the form has been filled out, I will be in touch via email to schedule a consultation call. The consultation call is a great chance for me to understand your training targets and preferences in more detail, and a chance for you to learn more about the service I will provide for you and to answer and questions you have.
Sign-up and programming
Following the call, I will email you a Typeform where I will gather final details from you. I will then begin your programming which I will always aim to be with you by the Monday of the following week (at the latest). Plans will be delivered via Final Surge, which allows for a smooth and adaptable programming. Then the fun begins!
