Paul: A Coach Who Transformed My Running Journey
Paul coached me on the track with Sutton Harriers since 2011 after I returned to running following major bowel surgery. He made sure I increased my intensity and volume gradually, and I was soon back to full fitness. With his guidance and coached track sessions, I continued to excel and set personal bests (PBs) across a spectrum of distances over the years: 5km (18.08), 10km (37.45), half marathon (1.24.39), and my proudest running achievement was running 2.55.58 at my very first marathon in 2019, after following a 3-month training plan devised by Paul.
Tailored Training for a Busy Life
Paul's approach to coaching wasn't just about pushing me harder; it was about understanding my life outside of running. The training plan was tailored around my full-time job, and Paul considered my other training commitments for my triathlon racing. He ensured that my running sessions fit in seamlessly with the volume and intensity of swim and bike sessions I completed throughout the week.
Triathlon Success and Beyond
My running became my strongest discipline in triathlon, and thanks to Paul's guidance and support, I ran myself into 1st place to become both European and world age group triathlon champion in 2017. Having a coach who believes in your ability, shares your passion for competitive running, and pushes you beyond your comfort zone while also recognizing when you need to recover, all while supporting you every step of the way, creates the perfect platform to achieve your goals. Paul provided all of this to me, and I'm forever thankful for his support.
In conclusion, the story of this dedicated athlete is a testament to the power of coaching and determination in achieving one's athletic goals. Paul's unwavering support and personalized training played a pivotal role in her remarkable journey from recovering from major surgery to becoming a world champion triathlete.
