Performance Running Coaching with Head Coach Paul Whittaker

Bespoke Running Coaching with Paul Whittaker

£70 per month

You don’t need another generic training plan.

You need a training plan that’s built around you — your goals, your current fitness, your lifestyle, your work, your family and the time you actually have available to train.

That’s exactly what I provide.

I’m Paul Whittaker, a professional running coach and 2:22 marathoner, and I’ll work with you to build a training plan that’s completely individual to you and your goals.

Whether you’re trying to run your first marathon, break 3 hours, improve your 5K, qualify for a major championship or simply become a better runner, your training will be designed specifically around what you want to achieve.

What you get

🏃 A completely personalised training plan

Your training isn’t pulled from a template.

I’ll look at your previous training, current fitness, strengths, weaknesses and goals before building your plan.

Every week is then designed specifically for you, with sessions based around your training zones, experience and availability.

🔄 Your plan adapts as you do

Life doesn’t always go to plan — and neither does running.

Work gets busy. Family commitments come up. You get tired. You might miss a session or suddenly feel great.

That’s why your training can be changed whenever needed.

Unlimited plan amendments mean we can adapt your training around your real life rather than expecting your life to revolve around your training plan.

📈 Regular feedback and analysis

You’re not simply given a plan and left to get on with it.

I’ll look at your training and key sessions, analyse your data and give you detailed feedback so you understand how you’re progressing and what you need to do next.

🎯 Training built around your goal

Your training will be designed around your specific target.

That could be:

• A faster 5K or 10K
• A new half-marathon PB
• Breaking 3 hours for the marathon
• Running your first marathon
• Improving your running economy
• Getting fitter and more consistent
• Preparing for a specific race

Whatever your goal, we’ll work backwards from it and build your training around what you need to get there.

🧪 Modern testing and training zones

I’ll use your training data and, where appropriate, testing methods to establish your training zones and performance metrics.

This means your sessions aren’t based on guesswork — they’re based on your current fitness.

🍝 Nutrition and race preparation

I’ll also help you prepare for the big day.

You’ll get guidance around training and event-specific nutrition, race preparation, pacing, equipment and anything else that can make a difference to your performance.

👟 Help with your running equipment

Not sure which shoes to buy?

Wondering whether your GPS watch is giving you useful data?

Need advice on equipment for your next race?

I’ll help you make informed decisions rather than wasting money on things you don’t need.

📱 Unlimited communication

You can contact me whenever you need to.

You’ll have unlimited communication with me via WhatsApp, email and text, including detailed feedback and interaction around your training.

You’re not just buying a training plan.

You’re getting a coach.

You’ll also get access to:

• The PW Performance Coaching WhatsApp group
• PW Performance parkrun meet-ups
• Race preparation and post-race analysis
• Ongoing goal setting and performance reviews

What happens after you sign up?

Once you’ve joined, we’ll start with an in-depth consultation.

We’ll discuss your running history, current training, lifestyle, previous races, strengths, weaknesses and — most importantly — what you want to achieve.

From there, I’ll build your training around you.

Your plan is then updated every week based on how you’re responding to training and what you have coming up.

Ready to take your running to the next level?

If you’re serious about improving, I’d love to work with you.
