“Sam has been an incredible support in achieving my running goals. I have learnt and progressed a lot whilst training with Sam, and his supportive and adaptative approach to coaching has made it very enjoyable (despite some tough sessions!)”

“Working with Sam has been a real pleasure and has fulfilled what I hoped it would: to bring a methodical, detailed, and purposeful approach to my training. Sam brilliantly applies his breadth and depth of knowledge to my own individual objectives and nuances. For me, this has meant working towards my objectives in ultra running whilst at the same time developing my ability to perform as a Type 1 diabetic. Sam has achieved this beyond my expectations and I would point anyone looking to develop as a runner in his direction!”

“With Sam I achieved my first GB vest, competing at the 2025 World Mountain Running Championships. Through coaching Sam provides direct feedback on sessions in a detailed way, he is quick to respond with an alternative session when plans change last minute. Ultimately I feel absolutely listened to whilst working with Sam. Progress has been made through each training block, but also with Sam's coaching periods of recovery have been included where needed, which has benefited me in the long term.”

Tim Orr

“No matter what stage you are in your running journey, Sam is going to be able to really help you reach your goals. He is so knowledgeable and personable, that you feel motivated to keep up with the training plan by trusting Sam has your back, especially when overcoming set backs (injury/illness) which we all have. It's clear Sam is passionate for running and the great outdoors which comes across well in his professionalism and enthusiasm when coaching.”

“I’ve achieved personal bests in all my goal races this year - proof of Sam’s comprehensive and effective coaching approach.”

Rodrigo Lara Molina

“I am grateful of the experience of training with Sam I felt for the first time in my athletic life I had support and someone cared about my running. Sam is a great coach and even greater person!.”
