Jan has helped me become a better, more accomplished runner, enabling me to achieve and exceed my running goals and targets. He has done this by providing a training structure that works for my busy lifestyle, listening to my needs, giving positive feedback and allowing me to believe that I can achieve the goals we have set. I cannot recommend Jan highly enough.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jan to runners of any level or experience. His knowledge of how to build and adapt a training plan is excellent and really showed in the results I gained while working with him. I knocked 44 minutes off my half marathon in around 9 months and also made huge improvements on my 5k and 10k times. What really stands out is Jans dedication to his athletes, and his enthusiasm to help people improve and to enjoy their running.

I started working with Jan in May 2024, seeking to take my running to the next level. Within four months I’d picked up new PB’s across the 5k, 10k and Half Marathon distance, ultimately earning me a Championship start at the London Marathon in 2025. Whilst there are numerous apps and online training plans available, it was important for me to find a coach who could create a highly personalised plan that could quickly adapt to my needs (be it family or work commitments, illness or injury). Jan’s experience and knowledge as a coach enables him to do this, by distilling the almost infinite training options available to runners these days, and designing weekly schedules that suit me and my goals. Jan’s approach to training is clear and methodical, ensuring each run has a purpose towards achieving my targets, and pushing to reach my potential, near-term or months ahead. I have found one of Jan’s key skills is ensuring the right balance between ambition and control, which is critical to reducing injury risk, and making running sustainable for the years to come. In light of this, Jan also provides strength & conditioning plans for athletes and advice on nutrition, again cutting through the noise, and outlining methods that have worked for him and his training partners. Jan goes the extra mile, location permitting, by regularly running alongside his athlete’s, be that an easy run for a catch-up, a harder tempo/interval session, a Sunday long run or even as a pacer or competitor in a race! Jan encourages an open dialogue with his athletes, via Whatsapp, phone or video call, or in person (whatever works for you!), alongside use of a shared online coaching platform (to plan workouts, track and monitor progress). Jan is a highly approachable, knowledgeable coach, passionate about running and committed to supporting his athletes. He has been instrumental in improving my running times, as well as my general enjoyment of the sport, keeping me accountable whilst ensuring training remains sustainable and controlled. I very much look forward to working together in 2025.

Having ran for 7 or so years (properly for 2 years! if you know you know😜) i decided in late 2024 that i needed some support and structure. I looked at online plans but i felt nothing was going to be more personal with my running journey than engaging with a coach.

I reached out to an elite runner who put me in touch with Jan. After our first conversation, i immediately signed up!

So now, the hard works starts, i told him my ambitions and he has worked on a unique plan towards achieving my goals. In a relatively short time into our running journey, I can safely say my running has improved significantly! The proof has been in my numbers, but i also feel stronger with Jan's conditioning support.

Jan has a very personal approach which is a unique positive! He always responds to questions you might have or if you've had a good session, he's first to highlight a good session which helps with motivation and support.

I would recommend Jan to anyone who wants to take their running seriously and take it to the next level, or alternatively, if you just want to start out running and you don't know where to start... He's your man.
