AJ Running Coach

Hi, I’m Andy, the founder of AJ Running Coach and an England Athletics Qualified Coach with over 23 years of running experience.

​

My journey as a runner began in school, where I proudly represented my county in the 1500m. Later, I carried my passion for running into my career with the British Army, competing in athletics and cross-country events for the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. Running has been a cornerstone of my life, both personally and professionally, and it continues to inspire me every day.

​

I’ve raced distances from 1 mile to Ultra Marathons, but my heart belongs to the Half Marathon, where I’ve achieved a personal best of 79 minutes. These experiences have not only shaped me as an athlete but also as a coach who understands the dedication, challenges, and joy of pursuing running goals.

​

Whether you're just starting out, aiming for a personal best, or tackling new distances, my mission is to guide you with tailored training plans and personalised support to help you reach your potential.
