Your first step

Start with the support you need

Compare the plans first. If you'd like to talk it through, a free introductory conversation is there for you.

  1. Compare your options

    See the difference between a monthly review, ongoing running coaching and running with individualised strength programming.

  2. Check fit and availability

    Share your running goals and coach preference. We check fit and coach availability before payment. A conversation is optional.

  3. Start with a clear plan

    Once fit, scope and terms are agreed, your coach builds the first training block around your history, diary and races. Review frequency depends on your chosen tier.

A few things you might be wondering

Before you choose

Do I need to be a fast runner?

No. We coach runners at different levels. Tell us where you are now and what you'd like to work towards, and we can talk about whether coaching is right for you.

Can training fit around work and family?

Your available time is part of the plan. The £147 and £197 tiers include weekly review and adjustments. With £97 Monthly Plan Review, changes come with your next block after the monthly review, not between reviews.

How much does coaching cost?

Monthly Plan Review is £97/month, 1:1 Running Coaching is £147/month and Running + Strength Coaching is £197/month. The £197 tier adds individualised S&C programming alongside your running. We'll confirm fit, coach availability and your start date before payment.

Do I have to book a sales call?

No. Start with a short online application. Nick reviews your request and confirms suitability, your coach and your start date in writing before you pay. If you'd like help choosing, a free introductory conversation is optional.

Can I ask for a particular coach?

Yes. Tell us who you would prefer, or ask us to help you choose. We'll confirm fit and availability before you start. You can request a conversation if that would help.

Is MaxMile the same as human coaching?

No. MaxMile is our running app, with a separate app subscription. The human tiers offer either a monthly written coach review or ongoing 1:1 support. Choose how much human input you need.
