Finlay loved working with Nathaniel who is a great coach. The improvement in his speed and running technique in just 6 sessions is amazing!
My 10-year-old son has benefited greatly from The Running School Birmingham. Their coaching has refined his running technique and improved many small details that made a big difference. His sprint speed has clearly increased, and his confidence in applying it on the football pitch has grown massively. Excellent coaching and highly recommended.
The Running School have been great to work with, Ellie has pushed me beyond my comfort zone to enable the necessary improvements to my technique. I am the second member of the family to experience The Running School and can testify they are great with both adults and children. For anyone considering them, I would highly recommend them!
As a father to two active and determined young girls, Xanthe and Connie, I can’t speak highly enough of the incredible experience they’ve had with The Running School Birmingham. From the very first session, Nick and his team demonstrated the perfect blend of professionalism, warmth, and expertise. Both girls were instantly made to feel welcome and supported, and the tailored coaching they received has made a noticeable difference to their running technique, confidence, and overall performance. What really stood out was how the coaches took the time to understand each of the girls’ individual needs and goals. The sessions were dynamic, engaging, and pitched just right – keeping them motivated and always eager to return. It’s been amazing to watch their progression, not only in speed and agility, but also in posture, balance, and coordination. As a dad, seeing their smiles after each session and hearing them talk excitedly about what they’d learned was worth every minute. Their improved technique has even had a knock-on effect in other sports and activities. A huge thank you to Nick and everyone at The Running School Birmingham – you’ve not only helped Xanthe and Connie become better runners, but you’ve also inspired a real love of movement and self-improvement in them. I’d highly recommend The Running School to any parent looking to give their child the best start in sport and fitness!
I booked a 6 session course including a biomechanics assessment with the running school. I suffer from reoccurring shin splints and wanted advice on how to reduce injuries whilst running. I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Nick. They were very informative and highlighted where and how I needed to improve my technique. The sessions were fun and included a mixture of strength and function training as well work on the treadmill and running track. I can see and feel an improvement in my running. I would definitely recommend the running school if you want to improve your running.
After being made aware of The Running School through social media, I booked a biomechanical running analysis session shortly after completing my first marathon in London, having being a fairly regular recreational runner for a few years. With the Barcelona marathon booked for spring 2023, I wanted to see what improvements could be made to my form to try and achieve my goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon. The analysis session was eye-opening! Nick highlighted the flaws in my form (which seem obvious now, but are difficult to tell when you're a lone runner with no previous coaching), but was able to advise on beginning to rectify some of these immediately. I was then keen to continue with making improvements as quickly as possible before my marathon training block began, so upgraded to the running technique coaching course for a further 5 hours of sessions. Over the following weeks, Nick and Ellie worked with me to continue to improve my technique, whilst trying to revert from slipping in to old habits. A big emphasis of the sessions is on strength and conditioning work, for which the coaches are great at giving you simple but practical exercises that can be followed at home or in the gym, without it feeling overwhelming or boring. Overall, I'm delighted with the progress I've made so far and would reccomend it as a worthwhile investment to runners of any age or ability. To date, I'm running quicker and injury free as my training plan for Barcelona progresses. Thanks Nick and Ellie and I'll definitely be back in 2023.
After being recommended from a friend we gave a chance, at first I was slightly apprehensive due to the way my Son runs and over the past 3 years has been various physio/chiropractors both NHS and private to get the the bottom of why he runs the way he does, being told lots of different things which never improved the situation. This is why I can not recommend The Running School enough, in 6 short weeks there has been a MASSIVE improvement in my sons running in fact in 6 weeks more improvement has been made than what couldn’t be achieved in 3 years from medical professionals. Nick and his team have been brilliant, been very informative but above all keeps a very positive and fun atmosphere for the children! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to see what the next 6 weeks bring!
We have had a great experience with Nick at the running school. My very shy 6 year old has had her confidence boosted and progressed tremendously in the last 6 weeks. Nick is great with children and I can highly recommend the running school. I can’t wait to see how much more We can develop our daughter by sending her there.
I cannot recommend The Running School highly enough. My biomechanical analysis shed light on elements of form to be corrected (there were a few!) and over the course of the following sessions, I learnt to actually run, as opposed to the rapid shuffle I had perfected over the prior 15 years. I feel much lighter, less likely to injure myself and ready for my double marathon challenge later in the year. Nick's coaching style is extremely enabling and I found the sessions really enjoyable, as well as incredibly useful. It would be hugely beneficial for the full spectrum of runners from new starters through to experienced athletes looking to take their running to a new level.
I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions at The Running School. I achieved my goal of improving both my sprint and 5k times. I no longer experience the niggles that I was getting on the right side of my body. Nick’s instruction was ideally suited to my level of fitness and I saw improvements each week. The homework was enjoyable and manageable. I have more confidence in my ability and am excited about what I can achieve in the future.
