Personal service is the heart of my coaching framework. Hear from our happy Athletes who kindly shared their opinion.
George has been an amazing running coach and made me believe I could achieve things I didn’t think were possible last year! George got me to enjoy running and with his knowledge and support helped me to train and complete my first half marathon. What I appreciated the most was he’d explain why we were doing something in a plan or the advantage of it! I’ve definitely learnt to trust George and slowly learning when he says it’s a slow run - he means it 🤣 thanks for all your help!
Thank you George!
— CarolineGeorge is an incredible coach and without him I definitely would not have been able to complete the marathon and feel as good as I did during the actual race.
The plans he creates are completely tailored to each individual’s needs which is so incredible as it fits in with my routine perfectly. Not only that but he will also listen and address all your questions and concerns to ensure you are happy and comfortable with what you are doing.
His running plan was great for me and it was also very motivational as each week I knew what my goals were and exactly what I needed to do. This takes all the pressure off you as an individual and all you have to do is complete your runs as advised and trust the process as it really does pay off!
In addition to his plan each week you can submit your comments on how each run felt for you which George will then read and provide any relevant guidance and further assistance where needed.
The training plan he designed for me was completely achievable and even with a two week holiday that I had right before the marathon I still managed to very comfortably get over the finish line which was all thanks to his efforts and great planning around it! I honestly could not recommend him enough. He is an incredible coach and I would say don’t think about it just do it!
Thank you George!

A good friend an unbelievable running coach!
If you want the best results you need to get the best coaching, which is exactly why I approached Ricey for running coaching.
I had the goal of running a half marathon in under 90 mins after failing that goal in March 2022. I had followed an online plan for that race, which gave me structure in training however wasn’t tailored specifically to me, nor was there any feedback from a coach.
The plan Ricey gave me was very easy to follow on an app that linked directly from my strava account, and I received feedback on every run from Ricey as well as daily support via WhatsApp. Ricey constantly checked in with me to review progress and how my body was coping with the training load. I had a lot of questions of which Ricey always responded to the same day and provided a lot of advice not just on the runs themselves but also nutrition, recovery, race strategy, and S&C.
After a 4 month programme, I knocked a huge 8 minutes of my previous time and achieved my goal of sub 90 mins for the half marathon. Even post race Ricey checked in, and this support was constant throughout the programme. Every aspect of training is considered, and plans are tailored specific to the individual, in contrast to following an online plan.
I feel the service provided by Ricey is extremely reasonably priced, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough for anyone from beginner runners to experienced runners looking to get that PB!
— RichardI originally signed up with Ricey for the 2022 Jersey marathon, following that we continued a plan for a 75km trail ultra in the spring of 2023. From the start, Ricey went into depth asking me my intentions for each race and we set achievable goals. Throughout the entire process, Ricey was extremely accommodating, altering my plan to work within an eight day week as opposed to a generic seven day week, in order to fit in with my work schedule. He provided very detailed information on each session and checked in regularly to see how I was getting on. For me, it was important that the training plan and race remained enjoyable and worked with everyday life, instead of becoming a chore. I found Ricey had a great balance, working the plan to suit me and at times make changes to prioritise work and social life.
All in all, I couldn’t recommend Ricey enough and would certainly go back to him for another plan in the future.

After recently getting into running I reached out to George as I was keen to get a more tailored and structured plan to help me on my journey.
Over 7/8 months George helped me with a number of different goals, from shorter distance races all the way up to my first full marathon.
The training was varied, enjoyable and most importantly George put a big emphasis on getting my feedback. This meant we were able to dial up the training or scale it back depending on how my body was adapting to the plan.
George also passed on his own experience and knowledge on all things from running shoes, fueling strategy and recovery techniques.
I could not recommend George enough for someone beginning their running journey or an experienced runner looking to improve their times.

Working with George through my running journey was fantastic. When I first started, I struggled with a lack of direction. George not only created tailored training plans that matched my goals and lifestyle, but also taught me the importance of proper form, recovery, and mindset.
Georges coaching style is encouraging, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. Whether I needed motivation during a tough week or expert advice before a big race, George was always there with the right guidance and support. Thanks to his help I’ve learned to love running again.
I highly recommend George to runners of all levels and abilities. His passion, experience, and dedication truly set him apart. He practices what he preaches.
