Book directly through our online booking system — click "Book a session" on any page. You'll choose your preferred coach, select a date and time, and confirm your booking instantly. You'll receive a confirmation email with everything you need.

In most cases we have availability within a few days. The booking system shows real-time availability for each coach — you'll see the next open slots immediately when you book.

Every first session starts with a full movement and technique assessment. Your coach watches you run, identifies your specific mechanical inefficiencies, and builds the rest of the session around what will make the biggest difference for you. You'll also be timed so we have a baseline to track your improvement against.

Sessions are 1 hour. Arrive 5 minutes early for your first session so your coach can meet you and explain the format before you start.

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. You can manage your bookings directly through the link in your confirmation email. Late cancellations and no-shows may be subject to a charge. If something urgent comes up, just get in touch as early as possible.

Yes — you can reschedule directly through the link in your confirmation email, no need to contact us. Please give at least 24 hours' notice where possible.

Single sessions are £80. Monthly plans start from £72/month (Starter — 1 session/month, saving 10%), £136/month (Development — 2 sessions/month, saving 15%), and £240/month (Performance — 4 sessions/month, saving 25%). Speed School for ages 8–15 is £15 per session or £40/month.

A single session is a great way to experience the coaching before committing. That said, real improvement comes from consistent sessions — a plan is where you actually achieve lasting results. Your coach will recommend the right plan at the end of your first session based on your goals.

Plans are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time before your next billing date. No long-term commitment required.
