5K to marathon · 8-week plans £75
Running coach in Huddersfield and online
A running plan that flexes around your work, kids and bad weeks. I'm a marathon finisher and a Level 3 personal trainer, and I write plans that include the strength work most runners skip.
What you get
Plans for every distance
Couch to 5K, 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and hybrid plans, built around your target and your calendar.
Zones from your own numbers
Pace and heart rate zones are set from a fitness test and adjusted as you get fitter.
Strength that helps your running
A couple of short gym sessions a week keep you robust, which is why injured runners often just need to lift.
Garmin and Strava sync
Your runs appear in the app on their own, so I can see what actually happened.
Who it's for
- First 5K or 10K
- Marathon and half marathon runners
- Runners coming back from a break

I'm Tom Betts. I'm a Level 3 personal trainer (Active IQ) with a Level 4 nutrition qualification, a marathon finisher and a HYROX athlete. I spent years in professional kitchens before coaching, so the food advice is practical. Based in Huddersfield, coaching clients in person and online.
Questions
Can you coach me for a marathon?
Yes. I've run a marathon myself. We'll work back from race day and build mileage sensibly, with strength work alongside.
I'm a complete beginner. Is that ok?
Yes. The Couch to 5K style plan is for exactly that.
Do you do group runs?
Not at the moment. Coaching is 1-1, in person in Huddersfield or online.
Which watch do I need?
Any. If you use Garmin or Strava your runs sync into the app automatically.
