I lead the charge in coaching runners, who don’t see themselves as real runners, to help them smash their marathon running goals
My people are not natural runners, and might not have done much running or exercise since school. But they’re determined to follow a plan, take on-board advice and train to run their best, be their absolute best, and run strong and with a smile right to the finish-line of their race.
And … be open to the possibility of something magic happening as they cross the finish-line to finally realise a life-long marathon running dream.
I've run 20+ marathons myself, having been labelled 'The Lazy Kid' at school, and in 2023 when osteoarthritis hit I power-walked London Marathon in a stocking 5:48 hour time!
Over the past 6 years I’ve coached 600+ runners, taking them from nervous, intimidated, overwhelmed and unsure, to running with confidence, totally smashing their marathon running goal!
Unlike most coaches I focus on working with first-time marathon runners and those who want to improve on a previous marathon time.
I want you to understand WHY you’re training a certain way. So I don't use complicated language or confusing jargon.
I'll take you step by step, explaining WHAT you need to do and WHY, every step of your marathon training journey.
I can't wait to share with you the secret training hacks I have used to take hundreds of runners from lost, dazed and confused to running strong, and with a smile, right to the finish-line of their race.
Claire, London Marathon Runner
Before I joined Marathon Club Hub, I’d been running for about 8 years, but knew I wasn’t doing the right types of running to improve, or to run further than 13 miles. I was just plodding around running the same speed, run after run.
I needed some expert input to improve my running endurance to get me to marathon distance.
Since joining Marathon Club Hub I can run faster and for longer. I also understand the different types of training run and why they are so important, so I hope to continue improving with time.
Debi, Sydney Marathon Runner
Turning 50, I felt I had passed my running peak. I didn’t think my legs could manage running a marathon, as I was always tired and sore after a race.
Joining Marathon Club Hub was a game changer.
I can now run long distances without the burden on my legs that had previously limited my goals. My diet, something I’ve struggled with all my life, is finally at a place where I effortlessly eat healthy, balanced meals every day that support my running and my active job.
Training this way I’ve realised that getting older doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams and that you can be fitter than your younger self!
Fiona, London Marathon Runner
Before I joined Marathon Club Hub I just went out and ran. I thought if I completed all the running in a plan, not bothering with rest, I could get round the race I was training for. But even with all the running I was doing I always struggled to finish a race. So I wasn’t sure I’d be able to complete a marathon.
What I’ve learned is that running is only part of training. Including conditioning, stretching, foam rolling, yoga, improving my diet and understanding the different runs have transformed my running.
Training this way, I can run furtherer than ever before and completed my first marathon without thinking “why am I doing this?” and I even enjoyed it!
Fiona, London Marathon Runner
When I got my place, my running consisted of the occasional 10k and running with friends to catch up on gossip. 2022 was a big year, I turned 50 (gulp) had clear signs of impending menopause, crunching knees and a serious lack of spare time.
How to start? What to eat? How to train? All the plans online looked super-intense with 5 runs a week. How could I possibly fit that into an already busy life? I needed help and joining Club Hub to train.
Apart from the training plan itself, the best thing about Marathon Club Hub was the education. Turns out there is a lot to know about running a marathon if you want to do it properly and have a good experience.
Jane, London Marathon Runner
When I started running I entered a few 10ks and halves but never thought I could run a marathon, I didn’t think I had it in me.
Following Helen’s advice and coaching plans (where she explained WHY we were doing different runs), conditioning workouts and nutrition, and the group members chivvying each other along, we’ve all become marathoners.
By slowing down my training runs to run at an ‘easy’ pace I’ve got faster in my competitive runs, getting PBs this year at parkrun, 10k and half marathon distances, and I’m the fittest I’ve ever been!
After running London Marathon I know that I can do whatever I put my mind to in all aspects of life.
Julie, London Marathon Runner
I wanted to run a marathon to celebrate my 60th year, but needed guidance, advice and support to do it.
I had run : walked numerous half marathons, I had no idea what to do to complete a marathon.
I loved the whole experience of training with Marathon Club Hub.
The weekly workshops spoon-fed me, so I knew what to do in my training and when. I learned so much about nutrition, exercise and running. I love the comradely of the Marathon Club Hub community runners supporting each other through the weeks of training.
Helen, you speak our language irrespective of where we are on our running and marathon training journey. This means so much.
Last year, before I joined Marathon Club Hub I’d fallen out of love with running, but have now found it again, plus some!
