RUNWITHFIN COACHING Reviews 54

I started coaching with Fin because I signed up for a half marathon and wasn't feeling ready. I wanted to prepare well so decided to get a coach. Fin really helped me in so many ways. I learned how to understand the benefits of different intensities of runs and how to balance running and strength training in my week. I have gone from never running more than 10km to comfortably running 18km in just 4 weeks! Fin has been very supportive throughout the training block and helped me to build confidence in my abilities. I am feeling prepared now for my race in two weeks time and have gained skills that will carry me through the rest of my running and fitness journey.

Fin coached me for my first ultra marathon this year - he was so good, so understanding, patient and inspiring that I carried on my coaching plan ahead of my second ultra at the end of this year! I'd only ran a handful of half marathons before and I mean it when I say I couldn't have achieved anything near the running goals I have this year without his support and guidance. I can't recommend his coaching enough - if you're thinking about signing up with Fin - DO IT! You wont regret it!

I worked with Finn in prep for my second marathon and couldn’t have wished for a kinder, better informed, excellent human who really understand my drives and goals. Everything was amazingly structured, organised and communicated, and I genuinely felt like I had a supporter with me through every session. The app setup takes a little getting used to but other than that, wouldn’t hesitate to work with Finn again. Also the community he’s built is epic.

Awesome coach he really listens to what you hope to achieve and makes everything tailored to you. If anyone needs a running coach I'd highly recommend fin! You won't find any better.

Thank you for your wisdom. I'll be back for more soon!

In the start of my journey with Fin, I was in need of guidance as I never had a coach before and had been running semi consistently for around a year. The few months of following Fins plan alongside our discussions have changed how I feel and look physically along with mentally. I did not realize my own abilities but Fin did and would push me to break many of my limiting beliefs for myself. The efficiency with training sessions allowed me to become stronger alongside gaining my endurance. I am a changed person after this coaching and would recommend Fin to everyone who is trying to improve their lives. He is a caring soul who believes in what he does, what better coach than that!

Coach Finn makes you believe in yourself, it’s not about the numbers, not about the speed but how running makes you feel. Because of him I do not only believe I can do 50 km.. I can feel it. It’s highly addictive to feel strong! Can’t wait for raceday ☺️ Thank you coach 🙏

I reached out to Fin with a very silly challenge of running the length of the Leeds & Liverpool canal there and back in a week for charity. Essentially 7 ultra marathons in 7 days (bit of context furthest I had ever run was a half marathon) so this was a big step up for me. From the start Fin backed me and was very supportive of the challenge. The coaching process was faultless and enjoyable, genuinely I don't have one bad thing to say. Working in the fitness industry myself and knowing that good coaches are hard to find, I would recommend Fin to anyone. Wether your running your first 5k or attempting something silly like me, Fin is the man! I have took a lot way from this process not just knowledge around running but also some of Fin's outlooks on fitness and life. Fin you're a legend until next time my friend. P.S get yourself up the PROPER north some time.

I joined Fin back in November with the goal of getting speedy and prepping for my first half marathon in May. Unfortunately injuries took over and I was out of the game of running. Fin was amazing at helping me through the rehab process, checking in with me each week and programming cross training to help keep the fitness up. I eventually got back to running and can't believe Fin managed to get me to a place where I smashed the half marathon. There's lots of training plans out there and apps that help runners, but they aren't Fin. I love his holistic approach to running and that his main aim is always about finding the enjoyment in the run. He really helps shift your perspective and focus and is just an all round great guy with lots of knowledge. If that doesn't sway you he is also a pretty good Noah Kahan dupe.

Cannot recommend Fin enough!! I came to Fin when I was completely stressed over my final weeks leading up to Paris marathon. I was very challenged balancing work, training, recovery, and travel! Fin got me a program in record time and I ultimately achieved a huge PB and sub four marathon!!

Since then I’ve ran a half marathon in Cozumel and we are working towards Mexico City full in August, Fin is so supportive and really just such a positive energy. No matter what crazy goal I throw out he’s on board!

He makes sure you are enjoying the process, always feeling good and has such an authentic and true personality, it’s such a refreshing energy in this space!!

It’s a pleasure to work with Fin ✨

Fin has been the best coach! He has helped me so much to achieve my half marathon goal and is now helping me to achieve my next goals. I really enjoy every run that he gives me. I really like how knowledgeable and easy to talk to he is. I couldn’t be more happy! 😊

Fin is the most realistic and down to earth coach I have had - he is so positive and uplifting. We are currently prepping me for a few races and he knows exactly what he is doing. He keeps you updated all the time and is no judgemental. Really looking forward to seeing what I can achieve with his coaching !

Fin is such a warm and upbeat person it is hard to feel tired or demotivated around him. He is very good at his job too and is always on hand to offer help and guidance to anything he has planned out for you. He is also flexible working with you to tune the training plan to link up with other life activities. He is a joy to work with and I’m just about to go back to him for my next adventure!

I am working with Fin for 3 months and could not be happier! I have made progress in all the areas I have targeted during my first interview with Fin and received exactly what I needed: structured plan that would allow me to only focus on getting all the sessions done while trusting that the science behind it would do the work. And it did!!! We are currently on our way of preparing me for marathon! On top of that Fin is just a lovely person to talk to. You would have to look long enough to find an equal match in another coach!!

I haven’t worked with Fin for long but so far he’s been great. Super positive and responsive and really trustworthy. I’m excited for the journey ahead and what this all leads me to achieve in the future given I’m being coached by someone who is such an expert!

Working with Fin has been an absolute pleasure. He is the sort of coach that genuinely lifts you up at all points throughout your journey. He makes every little win feel like a great accomplishment. Fin coached me all the way from the UK while I’m based in Aus but I never felt like he was far away. He got me through to the London marathon and honestly can’t recommend him enough. Ill be back working with Fin in no time. Thanks Fin!!

Fin is an excellent coach AND person who gives so much thought to helping people reach a running goal, or simply to help individuals, like me, to enjoy getting outside and moving with confidence and joy. I am two days away from running in the London Marathon, and would not have achieved this goal without Fin's expert and kind help.

Ive been using Run with Fin Coaching for afew months now and it’s been life changing.
Fin made me feel at ease, I was a basic runner (slow girl & proud and I am 30 years old) and before took 5:30 on my first marathon. I am training for another marathon this year and I wanted to become quicker and healthier. I am a single parent to 2 children and full time midwife so it is not easy. Fin has never made me feel guilty about missing a run or afew (over half term/ inset days etc) and always worked around me and got me to be positive about the next day rather than what I have missed today. My accountability has come hand in hand with his encouragement and support to my hectic life! I have used a number of online coaches over the past year, and was with Runna before but wanted a more personalised experience. Fin has been the only one that gets to know his clients and makes each persons plan tailor made (week by week as life happens), I found with Runna app it is basic and not individual for me.
Fin has changed my perspective on running. Before I saw it as a hurdle I just wanted to prove (you know strava competitiveness) and now I absolutely cannot wait to go out running and be in my zone and feel strong and free. I don’t want this feeling to ever end. I absolutely love the monthly challenges against his other clients, such a positive community he has created.
At the beginning of January I weighed 93kg and by February 14th I had lost almost 10kg. It’s not been much about weight for me but it had just come with it, I have sooo much more energy and now taken up hiking with ease as I build my endurance. I struggled with binge eating before and since running my mindset around food has completely changed, the meals his plan offers push me in my performance instead of leaving me stodgy from eating crap! It continues to be one of the best, most positive changes I’ve ever made in my life and I can’t wait to see what else I can get my body to do and how I feel within myself, strong & fast!
I have been injury free during my training (Fin adapts everything around me and what I need) which he is so passionate about ensuring his clients are safe and healthy.
I feel like I’ve won the lottery and Fin has changed my life. I’m going to be a runner for the rest of my life and that is because of Fin and since joining his coaching I’ve signed up for 2 more marathons and a half marathon!
Recommend a thousand times over without hesitation.
Thankyou Fin!

I have been coached by Fin for a couple of months for my half marathon training and I can’t recommend enough!

As a newbie ish to running I’ve learnt so much about accessory exercises, how to get back on track if something happened (eg: being ill or having an injury), and above that how to increase my distances while falling in love with running!

Beyond that Fin, is always so positive and motivating (while also creating a sense of accountability) 😊

I have to say at first I was sceptical as I was looking for more in person type of coaching, but honestly the value that I got perfectly suited my needs. I tried runna for 2 weeks before and oh my, nothing to do with it !!

I went from not being able to run 1km in September to running a half marathon in December. I could NOT have done it without Fin. He supported me continuously the whole way through and being kept accountable for my training kept me motivated. I came out of the training programme feeling mentally and physically fitter and stronger than ever. Thank you Fin! :)

From being scared to even attempt to run 1 minute to running 10k in mere 12 weeks! I had little to no faith that any running coach could turn me into a runner yet decided to give it a try and well... whaddayaknow. Fin is very experienced, knowledgable and empathetic. I've really enjoyed his relaxed approach and his attitude towards not rigidly following the plan and jumping over one's shadow but also keeping in mind to enjoy the process and not frantically stare and compare numbers and stats. Whatever your running goal is, Fin can get you there. Mine was to fall in love with running and little by little this has happened. Excellent coach. 10/10
