Amazing work and help from coach Kate! She coached me for two years, helped me prepare for multiple runs (10k and half marathon), guided me through the whole process, and teached me all I need to know about running. So many thanks!

Super-positive experience with Coach Brian who provided assessments and real time feedback of tangible changes I could introduce to improve my overall running efficiency.
I've booked an additional 10 coaching sessions to work towards my running goals.

I have found the We Run experience to be excellent from start to finish. Angela has been superb from day one. I cannot speak highly enough of her and how much she has helped me with my running.
I would be happy to recommend We-Run and Coach Angela to anyone looking to improve their running. FIVE STARS!

Matt is a great Coach, I love our weekly meetups, he gives fantastic instruction, I can see my improvements and I feel like he gives great feedback. Would highly recommend.
Amy, October 2024
Lee Wilkinson has been a brilliant coach, helping me to improve my technique, efficiency & understanding of what's needed to increase speed/power/endurance etc. The results over the last 6 months have been excellent.
Declan, June 2024
We Run has given me a coach who works with me to help me achieve my rather idiosyncratic running dreams. It's amazing how the presence of a coach lurking in the background increases the number of sessions I do, and, just as importantly makes me sit back and not do sessions that I shouldn't.
Some of the best money I spend each year goes to We Run.
Denis, January 2024
Absolutely fantastic service and great coach Cathy! Brilliant experience!
Alex, October 2024
I really enjoyed the progress I made in Angela’s sessions. Her advice was invaluable in my marathon training. Because of Angela's coaching I now really focus on my stance and arms when I run, and use counting and mind games to keep me mentally strong too!! I wouldn’t be running my marathon without her!
Laura, February 2024
I worked with Coach Lee for close to 2 years. His coaching has been instrumental in helping me achieve my running goals. I made great progress in my running performance and at times I was surprised at my own growth.
His expert advice on running strategy - pacing, hydration nutrition, the mental aspect was on point and helped me do my best in every race I ran.
AR, August 2024
My coach, Neil was both very knowledgeable and approachable. We explored the importance of warm-ups, reviewed my form and implemented simple drills to tweak form efficiency.
The sessions were sometimes tough but I came away each time more motivated to improve. I will seriously consider using coaching when I commence my next block of marathon training.
David, July 2024
Noemie was a great coach and helped me progress towards and achieve my 3hour marathon goal. She was super helpful with training plans and advice. I would definitely recommend!!
Paul, April 2024
Booking a running coach through We Run was one of the best decisions I made. It was easy to do and I was put in touch with a coach local to me.
Angela was fantastic. I learnt so much about how to improve my running technique.
I can’t recommend Angela highly enough whether you’re just starting out or want to improve.
We Run is a great way to connect with qualified local coaches to ensure you get the best advice and support.
Vicki, April 2024
Sarah was a really lovely and knowledgeable person who gave me some good advice that I will definitely incorporate in my running form going forward!
Rosie, March 2024
Great experience of being put in touch with a local run coach. Kenny was top drawer, got on straight away and was able to help me bit by bit, without overload. As a total novice who genuinely hates running and not good at it, I do 'hate it less', so that is a success in my eyes. Keeping on going with the good habits that Kenny has advised and continuing to improve.
Nick, September 2023
Kate was really great! I needed someone to just coach me through my 3 marathons but also my crazy work schedule. I needed that flexibility and support when things just seemed impossible! Having a slight break before working with Kate again in 2024 for marathon 4!
Jena, November 2023
Greig is an absolutely top level trainer. The sessions were excellent and in a short space of time he made a massive impact on my fitness. Would highly recommend.

Hampstead Heath
If you’re after varied terrain with stunning city views, Hampstead Heath is honestly unbeatable. The rolling hills provide excellent strength training, while the network of paths lets you customise your distance and intensity.
Parliament Hill offers one of London’s best vantage points – on a clear day, you can see right across the skyline. The re’s a mix of woodland trails, open grassland and ponds which creates a proper escape from the bustle of the city.
Regent’s Canal
For a lovely flat, traffic-free route that showcases London’s character, follow Regent’s Canal from Little Venice to Limehouse. This towpath run takes you past narrow boats, through trendy neighbourhoods like Camden and King’s Cross, and offers plenty of spots to stop for a drink. It’s ideal for steady-pace runs and gives you a unique perspective on the city, weaving through areas you’d never see from the main roads.
Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens
Right in central London, this royal park duo is perfect for structured training sessions. The 4.3-mile perimeter loop is super popular with runners, while the Serpentine provides a scenic focal point for shorter efforts. With wide paths, consistent surfaces, and plenty of other runners around, it’s brilliant for tempo runs, intervals, or just soaking up that community atmosphere while staying in the heart of the city.
