Ryan Thomson Running

Personalised Coaching For Real Lives

Stop Guessing. Start Training With Purpose.

Most runners think running a personal best simply requires "doing more" but for a busy professional, more effort without the right structure usually leads to injury, illness or burnout. You don't need a one size fits all plan that ignores your schedule, you need consistent input from someone who actually cares about your life and your results

Elite Principles, Adapted for You

I have spent my adult life obsessing over how to run quicker at every distance from 1500m to the marathon. Through years of training alongside some of the world’s best athletes, I learned that great results don't come from "secret" workouts, they come from consistent, focussed work that you can replicate over and over.

 I started my YouTube channel to help runners of all levels improve but the real success happens in the personalised coaching, where I help athletes of all levels shave many minutes off of their times without sacrificing their personal life. So get in touch and let me use my passion for running and helping others to help you smash your goals.

What Coaching with Me Looks Like

  • Built Around Your Life: Your training is designed from scratch based on your running history, your ability, and your specific weekly schedule.
  • The "Elite" Edge: We apply the same structured endurance principles that took me to a 2:15 marathon, scaled perfectly to your current level.
  • 24/7 Communication: We will keep in touch regularly through Whatsapp to assess how things are going and to adjust your plan in real-time as life happens, ensuring you stay on track for your goals.

"I started working with Ryan after deciding to stop competing in under 90kg strongman competitions and using Runna for around 8 to 9 months. Before that, I hadn’t really run since leaving school over 10 years ago, apart from the odd football match. I joined Ryan shortly after running my first marathon in 4 hours 30 minutes, and within a year he helped me bring that time down to 3 hours 7 minutes.

Thanks to his structured training plans, regular feedback, and daily updates, I’ve also managed to run an 18-minute 5k, a 38-minute 10k, and a 1 hour 25 minute half marathon. Ryan’s coaching has completely transformed my running. He’s knowledgeable, supportive and always keeps me motivated. I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone wanting to take their running to the next level."

What I Offer: Two Paths To Your Next PB

1. Full 1-to-1 Coaching (£149 / Month)

This is the most effective way to improve because no matter what, things often need to be adjusted. 1-1 coaching allows us to make changes and progress training quicker if you're handling things well.

  • Weekly Training Schedule: Your plan is updated and sent out every week which ensures every session is moving you toward your goal.
  • Instant Plan Adjustments: When work gets busy or family comes first, I adjust your training in real-time. You never have to wonder "how do I fit this in?" or make any running decisions on your own if you don't want to.
  • Direct Access To Me: You have 24/7 contact with me through WhatsApp for any running (or life) related questions. Getting the answers you need in real time.
  • Consistent Calls When Required: We will have an introductory call, a call before your key races or whenever you feel it would be beneficial to chat outside of message. Covering everything from pacing to nutrition plan to the mental side of racing and everything in between.

2. Targeted Training Plans (12, 16, or 20 Weeks)

If you have a specific race date and want a custom-built roadmap to get you there, these one-time plans are a great option.

  • Fully Personalised Training Plan: This isn't a template. It is built from scratch based on your current fitness, your running history, and your specific goal time.
  • Built for Your Calendar: I build the plan around your existing commitments so that your training is sustainable and fits seamlessly into your actual life.
  • The Complete Race Blueprint: You will receive full details on how to handle your specific training sessions, your taper and race day itself.
  • Post-Plan Delivery Q&A: You will have a chance to ask questions that may arise once your training plan is delivered.

Single Plan Investment:

12-Week Plan: £219

16-Week Plan: £259

20-Week Plan: £299
