I couldn’t recommend JTRC highly enough. Before working with Jim, I felt completely stuck with my running. I was trying to follow other people’s training plans and copying what worked for them, but it wasn’t realistic for my lifestyle, ability, or goals. I was also making things up as I went along or relying on AI-generated training plans, and despite my efforts, I wasn’t making any real progress.

Since starting my coaching journey with Jim, the difference has been incredible. I’ve seen consistent improvement and achieved PB after PB across all my race distances. Within just a month of training with JTRC, I was running times and paces that I genuinely thought were beyond my ability.

What sets Jim apart is his ability to strike the perfect balance between pushing you to reach your potential and ensuring you have enough time for recovery, rest, and the demands of everyday life. His coaching is thoughtful, personalised, and incredibly effective. If you’re looking to take your running to the next level, I can’t recommend JTRC enough.

I’m already a member of a running club, but I joined jtrunningcoach when I was training for a half marathon and wanted to improve my times.

Jim created a personalised training plan for me, and honestly, I’ve never looked back. What I really love is that JT Running complements my existing running club perfectly rather than replacing it. Some of these runs I complete with friends from my running club, while still following my own structured plan. The training also includes effort sessions, which was something I’d never really incorporated into my running before, and they’ve made a huge difference.

Since joining, I’ve knocked four minutes off my half marathon time and achieved several new PBs. Having a plan tailored to my goals, combined with the flexibility to fit it around my existing club runs, has really helped me progress.

What really sets JT Running apart, though, is Jim himself. He is incredibly supportive, always offering encouragement, advice, and reassurance. He’s approachable, positive, and genuinely invested in helping everyone achieve their goals.

One thing I particularly appreciate is that if life gets busy and I can’t complete every run, that’s absolutely fine. There’s never any guilt or pressure—Jim understands that we all have commitments outside of running, and that supportive approach makes a big difference.

I would wholeheartedly recommend JT Running coach to anyone looking for a structured training plan, expert advice, or a welcoming community.

I've been following a plan with Jim for seven weeks now and am really enjoying it. The plan is very structured which is great and easy to follow. My motivation to run and work on strength and speed is much better since starting the plan and I'm excited to see what's to come.

Jim is very approachable and flexible with any changes needed, I'm running with a friend regularly and he is happy to adjust my plan where needed to fit in with this.

Jim is also very supportive and encouraging and always checks in regularly to see how I'm feeling and how the plan is going. All in all I would happily recommend Jim for anyone considering a coach.

I’ve found the JTRC effort sessions to be a huge benefit to my running. They’ve really helped me better understand pacing, speed control, and how to manage different effort levels, which has made a noticeable difference in both training and racing.

What I particularly enjoy is that the sessions are not just about running hard – there is a real focus on developing good technique and understanding why you are training at certain intensities. It has helped me become much more aware of my running and how to control my effort rather than just going too fast or too easy.

The sessions are welcoming, well organised, and suitable for all abilities, with great support and encouragement throughout. I’ve taken a lot from them personally and would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to improve their running, build confidence, and gain a better understanding of their training.

JTRC’s sessions are welcoming, motivating, and really well organised. I love the mix of abilities, which creates a great community feel where everyone is encouraged but also pushing themselves to achieve their own personal goal.

Jim is super supportive, and the sessions are always well structured, so they feel purposeful and enjoyable. I always come away feeling like I’ve achieved something and got real value from the session. They have also helped me develop my running and made me more aware of my running technique.
