The ability to endure the hardships in any given event requires the focus and confidence built from a specifically, tailored training plan that works for you and on your schedule.

By becoming an Endurance State coached runner, I can help you answer questions such as “How much training do I need to do for my ultramarathon?”, “what kind of training should I do for my endurance race?”, “How can I progress to the next level?”, “How do I pace my 5k race?” and many more. I can also help you choose events to target and train for if you’re unsure about which races suit your current fitness level.

“Since I become part of the Endurance State team, around 6 months ago, my training has improved massively.
The workouts are well explained. I have a full understanding of what I’m doing next, and more importantly, the reason why and how that’s going to help to achieve my goals.
Chris is always there for you and with his support and training, I now see myself running longer distances.”
I’ve been coached by Chris at Endurance State for the last 6 months. The first of which I was injured. I’ve also had covid, which took at least a month to recover from.
Despite this, I could PB over any distance tomorrow at a moment’s notice. I feel stronger, fitter, and better prepared for any race scenario.
With every issue I’ve had, Chris has explained the possible causes and given a long-term solution to the problem. If you’re looking for a running coach, I would highly recommend Endurance State.
“I can’t recommend this coaching enough, its helped me finally get back to sub 6’s, finally get back towards the front end of local races, helped me with my mojo, helped me find my love for running again and helped me find the Endurance State.”
“I decided it was now or never and I started to investigate running coaches. I started with a coach for the first time in the summer and was truly the best thing I ever did 🙌🏼.
I’ve not only found a wonderful running coach who understands me but he’s also a bit of a life coach too (not intentionally I might add). His enthusiasm, immense knowledge and joy of running is infectious and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings”
“His structured programme is tailored to suit the running goals of the individual whilst taking into consideration the need for flexibility- and it works! Chris is incredibly thorough, supportive and knowledgable.
He can coach you to become the runner you’d like to be and I would recommend Endurance State to any of my running friends’
