Heres what some of our runners had to say about us

“Run Llama coaching has been specific to me, my ability and goals. Its prepared me physically and mentally for events. I would recommend Run Llama to anyone looking for personalised plans from approachable and experienced coaches”

Craig

“John has given me a structured training plan taking into account my work and family commitments. Along with great advice and well needed pep talks when many crisis of confidence occurs when training for an ultra. The social runs offered are also a great chance to catch up with fab coaches and other runners”

Morag

“I’d highly recommend runners looking to take the next step to consider coaching with Chris. His blend of expertise, variation and flexibility has helped turn me from a casual runner into ultra runner in a stable logical and enjoyable way”

Sam

“Working with a running coach is one of the best decisions I’ve made. In just a few months I’ve managed to achieve PBs in all distances from 5km to marathon and am currently working towards my first ultra. John has been supportive and each week ensures my plan is manageable yet challenging. I’ve also really enjoyed the social runs which are great for trying new routes and meeting new people. Thanks team Llama”

Lorna

“Having worked with Run Llama for the past 6 months I can honestly say I’ve never felt stronger as an endurance runner. I’m so happy with my bespoke plan which has resulted in half marathon and marathon PBs. Chris listened to my goals and spent time getting to know what kind of runner I am and now provides me with varied and interesting weekly runs and strength training. As a busy working mum my plan is challenging yet realistic and there is always room to adapt when life and toddlers get in the way. Run llama is such a supportive community of runners and i’ve enjoyed training under their direction and also taking part in some of the social runs which are open to all ”

Elaine

“I signed up with Run Llama for a Loch Ness Marathon training plan and it was a game changer! I managed a PB by shaving off 13 mins from my previous Marathon time! My coach John had ran Loch Ness before so had knowledge on the route and excellent race day tips etc. My running plans were issued weekly and included a variation of easy, tempo, YASSO and long runs with a focus on pace. The variation in runs made the training programme really enjoyable and I felt stronger every week with my pacing.  Communication with my coach was great. I wouldn’t have achieved my marathon PB without being coached by John. I highly recommend Run Llama to help you achieve your running goals! ”
