My Mission as a Run Coach
As a coach, my mission is to empower individuals from all walks of life to break through barriers and achieve their running goals—no matter their background, size, weight, or age. I believe that everyone has untapped potential, and through personalised coaching and unwavering support, I aim to show that you can do far more than you imagine. My own journey as a runner serves as proof that the so-called “stereotypical runner” doesn’t exist, and with the right mindset and guidance, anyone can push past their limits. Together, we will redefine what’s possible and set new personal records!

The below is a very basic outline of what you can expect through my coaching services.
01.
Phone call
Once you’ve made contact, I’ll book in a time to give you a call. Here you can ask whatever questions you may have about myself, the services etc. After this, if you like what you hear I’ll send you a consultation form to fill in to get more detailed information.
02.
Consultation
We begin with you filling in my consultation form. After this is complete we set up a meet and greet either in person or online so I can learn more about you, your history, goals, lifestyle, how training with me works and the app I use.
03.
Prepping your data
I work with the information that we’ve discussed in the consultation and start building your long term plan. I then complete your first training block which is specifically designed for you. Once uploaded I will give you a call 24-48hours later to discuss any questions you may have.

We put the plan to action
We start putting the plan to action. Each important workout will have specific information written in by myself. Once the workouts completed, you simply write down how you were feeling & any comments you may have about the workout etc.

“What some of my Athletes say”
“I’ve participated in a few trail running events before, and used online resources for training plans. This year, for the first time, I’ve teamed up with Darren as my endurance coach to prepare for three events and do it right. Darren brings a wealth of expertise and scientific knowledge to create a tailored training plan. The difference in my progress has been remarkable, proving that one-size-fits-all programmes don’t work for everyone.
Having an external trainer keeps me on track and accountable. Darren has a knack for explaining the reasons behind each aspect of the training.
I highly recommend Darren as an endurance coach. He truly knows his stuff, and it’s encouraging to see him out there doing the mahi himself.”
— Tamara S | Trail Runner
Thank you Darren for your amazing coaching. I’ve not had a running coach before and having you there was so beneficial and informative for my journey as a runner. Something I always value in a coach or mentor is their empathy and approachability, and this is something you demonstrate through and through – especially important during roadblocks or challenges which do crop up during training. You clearly take the time to understand your client, their individual mindsets and goals and challenges, and tailor your training and guidance around this. I’m still super proud of all the block runs and long run workouts I was able to complete with you, you’ve built a wonderfully solid fitness base for my marathon race. I highly recommend Darren as a coach, especially for those starting out their running or racing journey.
