I’ve recently, along with 11 others, passed the England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness Course
This involved an initial weekend in Taunton followed by a couple of Zoom lead sessions before returning to Taunton almost 3 months later for a final assessment.
In between the first and last session we had to work with an athlete on an eight week programme (known as a mesocycle) to help them reach a particular running goal.
So I've handed over this episode to six newly qualified coaches who were on the same course as me to share with you their top tips to help you with your running.
You're going to hear from Drew, Lorna, Tom, Ryan, Anita and Brendan
A big thanks to them for their contribution not just to this episode but to helping you with your running and being great colleagues on the course.
If you enjoy the episode then please do share it with your Running colleagues and it would be great if you left a review
This is episode 154 of the Running 44@60 podcast and to celebrate reaching the 150 episode marker I'm offering listeners the chance to win one of six copies of 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.

I ran my first, and so far only, ultra marathon in 2021 - the 44 mile Classic Quarter - to celebrate a landmark birthday which was a few weeks before the run.
This podcast started as a way of me learning how to do that - hence why it’s called Running 44@60. The adventure then turned into a book and as a business consultant it became both a business and running book and is available on Amazon via this link: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.
My run raised over £7000 for Childrens Hospice South West Music Therapy programme and every book bought on Amazon generates another £5 for the programme.
My big running goal remains the Arc of Attrition 50 in January 2025.
The Running 44@60 podcast began as a learning / motivational tool for host Trevor Lee in his quest to run a first ever ultra - the Classic Quarter in 2021 - here's the story of Running 44@60
It now has 160 episodes and is aimed at those thinking about and committing to their first ever ultra.
Trevor wrote a book : 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon - all proceeds go to the Children's Hospice South West
