Build some speed (for free)
Our free 6-week speed builder plan is designed for runners who want to sharpen things up and get moving a little quicker. Whether you’ve been ticking along steadily or feel like your pace has plateaued, this plan introduces simple, effective sessions that help improve your speed, efficiency, and overall running confidence. It’s structured, easy to follow, and built around sessions that we know work — without overcomplicating your training.
This plan is particularly well suited to runners coming off the back of a half marathon or marathon training block. After taking the time to properly rest and recover, it gives you a clear way to transition back into training with purpose. Instead of jumping straight back into high mileage, the focus shifts to quality over quantity, helping you re-engage your legs, improve turnover, and rebuild sharpness over a focused 6-week period.
Across the plan, you’ll find a mix of interval sessions, tempo efforts, and manageable mileage, alongside some light strength work to support your running. The aim is simple — get you running more efficiently, feeling stronger at faster paces, and ready to take on your next goal. Whether that’s a faster 5K, 10K, or just becoming a better all-round runner, this is a great place to start.

Affordable Coaching
If you’re serious about improving your running, following a generic plan will only take you so far.
Whether you’re building towards your first 5K or chasing a marathon PB, having a coach gives you the structure, accountability, and expert guidance needed to actually make progress. Every session has purpose. Every week builds on the last. And every decision is made with your goal in mind.
As a fully qualified and UK Athletics-registered coach, I don’t just give you a plan — I give you a coaching system designed around you.
