Armchair2ultra Recensioni 

Training with Neil has been a transformative experience. His deep passion for running is contagious, and it’s clear from the outset that he genuinely lives and breathes the sport. As a coach, Neil brings an ideal balance of enthusiasm, encouragement, and science-backed training methods that make you feel both supported and empowered every step of the way.

Neil’s approach is grounded in research, but never at the expense of being personal and practical. He takes the time to understand your goals, your challenges, and your progress, tailoring plans that push your limits while keeping you motivated and injury-free. Whether it’s a tough fell session or a long ultra training block, Neil’s energy and belief in your potential keeps you going.

Beyond just training plans, Neil has instilled in me a mindset of resilience and curiosity about my own capabilities. His coaching has not only made me a stronger ultra marathon runner, but a more confident one too.

If you’re looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, passionate, and truly invested in your journey, I can’t recommend Neil highly enough.

Brilliant coaching. Not only specific and thoughtful training plans, but also helped me to understand so much about strength and conditioning, nutrition, race admin, navigation, equipment etc. I was thoroughly well prepared for the several ultras I’ve done now, and there’s no end to his knowledge (all evidence based). So much better than the nonsense you find on social media.

Loads of genuine experience of fell running, multi day events and all sorts. Non-stop learning.

With Neil's coaching and guidance, I went from never having run on the trails to completing 2 trail ultra-marathons within a month. His individual training plans ensure that all his athletes get bespoke science led training that works for them. His knowledge and experience are wide-ranging and it has been an absolute pleasure to train with him.

I have been training with armchair2ultra for around 3 months. Neil’s training has made me look forward to my runs and he will plan and tailor training to your goals. He provides feedback every time and is very quick to respond to messages. Since starting my training plan I have booked two races which I would never have done before, Neil has given me the confidence to go out of my comfort zone!

Neil is a fantastic coach, so knowledgeable and super friendly. He’s completely changed my perspective on running in a few months. Before Neil’s help, I wasn’t really enjoying it and just did it to keep fit. Now, I throughly enjoy running, and he’s changed my mindset completely!

Neil has been coaching me for nearly a year. He is really knowledgeable and also really supportive and genuinely enthusiastic about how it's going. He plans training which is completely individual and targeted towards my personal goals and always gives helpful feedback. With his help I've done well in events this year that I would never previously have taken on. I'd definitely recommend his coaching.

I never thought I’d run for more than a minute but Neil helped me achieve my initial goal of getting to 5k injury free last year, and has been great since then working with me to identify how I can improve my endurance and fitness to support my new running aims. Neil is so supportive and professional, everything is tailored to you and your own goals and abilities.
