Marathon coaching
Train for your first marathon, or your next PB.
Personalised marathon coaching from me — a plan that fits your life, builds you sensibly to race day, and gives you a clear strategy for the 26.2.
The problem
Why most plans fail.
Most generic marathon plans assume you have nothing else going on. RNNNG plans flex around your work, family, niggles and motivation — so you actually make it to the start line healthy and confident.

FAQ
Common questions.
- Can you coach me for my first marathon?
- Yes. A big share of RNNNG runners are stepping up to their first marathon — Belfast, London, Dublin, Manchester and beyond. Plans build slowly and sensibly so race day feels earned.
- What kind of weekly mileage will I be running?
- It depends on your background, time, and target. Marathon plans are progressive — we add load steadily and back off when you need it.
- Do you coach for marathon PBs?
- Absolutely. Plenty of runners come to RNNNG to break a marathon PB, including chasing good-for-age and championship times.
