Whoever you are and whatever pace you run.
What makes Running Jo different from other coaches?

Backed up by extensive, in-depth, practical GB and international athlete and coach experience. To help you deliver your best performance when it matters most.
But most importantly good coaching is about communication. With Running Jo you get regular communication, feedback on all your runs and support tailored to you and your needs. Delivered with knowledge, expertise, passion and a positive, quirky approach.
What is my experience?
I am a fully qualified, licensed British Athletics Coach and former GB and England athlete. I’ve finished in the top 20 of the Elite London Marathon. I’ve competed for Great Britain and England on track, road and cross country.
Now I am one of the leading Marathon coaches for masters runners aged 35 and beyond. I have coached numerous runners to represent England Masters. With over ten years experience as a full time coach and the author of Masters Running, the comprehensive guide to 5k, 10k and Half Marathon.
Alongside Running Jo my experience includes roles as Great Britain Team Coach for the European and World Road Running Championships and numerous England Team competitions. In addition to leading the England Athletics Youth Talent Programme for endurance for the previous five years working with our best 16 to 18 year old athletes.

Why should you choose Running Jo?
Because I know that for all of us, running has to fit around work, family and life. Which means no generic, AI generated, off the shelf plans. You get elite experience and coaching alongside real-world empathy and understanding.
To get the best from you, I ensure that your training works for you. That means coaching you to train hard when you can but also recognise when you can’t. Keeping the fun alongside the focus.
Running Jo is about coaching YOU with the right expertise to get the challenge, sense of achievement and enjoyment that your running deserves. To deliver YOUR best performance.
