Why You NEED a Coach 🏃‍♂️🎯💪 Unlock Your Full Potential!

🎥 Why get a coach? 🎯

Having someone in your corner cheering you on, keeping you accountable, and creating an environment where taking risks feels safe can be a game-changer. A coach isn’t just about accountability; it’s about encouragement, expert advice, and pushing you to achieve your dreams. 🌟

Whether it’s smashing a marathon, conquering hills, or chasing a crazy goal, having a running nerd like me in your corner means you’ve got someone turning the volume up on YOU. From a 3/10 to a 10/10, let’s bring out your best and help you step fully into your power. 💥

So proud of all my athletes, like Krystyna (spelled with a K-R-Y-S-T-Y-N-A 😉), who continues to inspire with her determination and courage to take on new challenges. 🥇 From running her first marathon to smashing it in her business as a graphic design superstar, Krystyna shows what’s possible when you lean into difficulty. 💪✨

If you’re ready to chase some big, crazy running dreams, let’s chat! 👟 I’ll help you design a personalised plan and cheer you on every step of the way.

🗓 See you tomorrow at 5.30am for the 40 Baskets Run or Friday at 5.30am for our next hill session. Let’s go, runners! 🚀

💨 Love and wind at your back,
Joe
