First Steps to Running Success
Whether you’re starting from scratch or building up to 10K, I’ll coach you through the fundamentals of consistent running. From completing your first 5K to feeling confident over longer distances, we’ll focus on building strong foundations and celebrating every milestone.
Perfect for new runners or those returning to running who want to establish sustainable habits.
Master your Half Marathon
Ready to push beyond your comfort zone? The half marathon distance offers the perfect balance of challenge and achievability. I’ll help you to develop the mindset and consistency you need to successfully tackle 13.1 miles at road running events.
Ideal for beginner and intermediate runners ready to test their limits without committing to a full marathon.
Marathon Mindset Mastery
Dreaming of your first marathon? Training for another marathon but finding yourself stuck? I’ll help you overcome the mental challenges and build consistency to succeed over 26.2 miles. We’ll develop the confidence, mental resilience, and sustainable habits you need to cross the finish line.
Perfect for first-time marathoners or intermediate runners hitting plateaus.
Why runners and aspiring runners come to me for coaching
I help people who want to run more consistently and work toward goals like completing their first 5K or marathon but are struggling with their training. My clients often face challenges like managing running with busy schedules, overcoming negative self-talk, or finding consistency in their routine.
With training from McMillan Running, Scottish/UK Athletics, and an approach influenced by Pete Magill, I focus on time-based training rather than distance to help you build sustainable practices. As a mindset coach (not a personal trainer or elite athlete), I help you tackle what’s holding you back mentally so you can follow your plan and run with confidence.
Benefits you will experience through coaching:
- Mindset shift: Learn how to silence negative chatter and stay focused. Transform running from a chore to a core part of your life.
- Goal achievement: Set achievable, realistic goals that keep you motivated.
- Lasting habits: Develop consistent running routines that fit your busy schedule.
- Mental resiliance: Gain the mental toughness needed to overcome challenges and self-doubt.
- Tailored support: Receive personalised coaching using time-based training methods tailored to your unique situation.
- Accountability partner: Regular check-ins to keep you on track and moving forward.
“ Fiona questioned and stretched my thinking and enabled me to reach a level of clarity about what it was that I wanted to achieve and set about making plans for how I would do that. Following our sessions, I felt motivated and positive to continue working towards my goals with a greater sense of purpose.”
