RunThrough Coach Anmeldelser 62

What a weekend, if you're looking to improve your performance, book with these guys, now, this is without question the best money we've spent on training, we bought the weekend for my daughter and she went from strength to strength, running faster with just a few pointers/corrections, and what a team of
coaches, they had all the time for us, never felt forgot is, we are so grateful for a stunning weekend we came away fully inspired and barely got back to the van and we already had a training plan for next week, massive thank you to all of the coaches Lewis has an amazing team

Just done a track night at the Paula Radcliffe stadium and can't speak highly enough of the coaches or the experience. Friendly and positive from the outset and so engaging and supportive. Found the evening really beneficial to my journey into getting back into running after years off and already looking forward to the next one. Feeling very lucky to be guided by such experts. If you see one of these get your name down!!

I came back into running in 2020 after 20 odd years away from the sport. The main reason I started running again was because of my mental health. In 2022 I decided that I still had a scratch to itch on the track at middle distance from my school years. But I was told by a coach (not anyone associated with NLC) in the sport that I would just not be fast enough for the track. Something that I thought wasn't really true, but I chose to believe it. But in spring of 2023 I found New Levels Coaching. I had a great consultation with Lewis and we discussed what I would like to achieve and hoped that NLC would be able to help me along the way.

I was boosted with confidence from Lewis and was soon paired up with Jethro and my coaching journey with NLC started.

Today as I write this on 22nd July 2024 I am now the Welsh Masters M40 1500m champion as of yesterday.

I would highly recommend anyone that's looking for a coach to get in touch with NLC as they not only work to bring the best out of you, but also make you feel like a member of the family. The team are all there to make you feel physically and not only that but mentally strong as well.

Having coaching from the physical side was very important to me, but having someone help and coach on the mental side as well means so much more. Over the year I feel like I have built a great relationship with Jethro and the team at NLC and they just get me.

Highly recommend NLC. So what are you waiting for, get signed up today and reach your goals.

New Levels Coaching are the most dedicated coaches completely passionate about everything they do.
I have been coached by NLC -Gemma- for over 4years and they have not only helped me run stronger with more positivity they have strengthened me mentally.
New Levels Coaching not only gets you to realise your potential but is a community.
I have made some life long friends.
I can highly recommend them for anyone of any ability.

This is my feedback specifically for a 16 week marathon plan I signed up to at the start of the year (2024) after securing an entry to London Marathon. I had never run a marathon and vowed never ever to do one over my 17yrs running! But for a number of reasons I decided to embark on the challenge.

Jethro McGraw was my coach.

The year before my running had been a bit bumpy. But I'd managed to scramble together some kind of rough training I was doing myself for the last half of the year, and although winging it a bit, it seemed to be working. But I knew I needed some more specificity if I wished to do a marathon seriously. I really liked how Jethro tried to keep things pretty similar and change as little as possible. He listened to my situation (eg time, work schedule, my job (weird hours) and surrounding areas i like to run in (important to me!). I thus didn't feel like it was a huge change from what i was used to and enjoying, which really helped ease me into the block.

I felt my motivations for doing London Marathon (to enjoy it and not to come away traumatised for my first one!) were really taken on board. I cared less about time but more about a good positive first experience. I felt he understood this well.

We had two weekly reflections which for me was perfect, and great to chat verbally. It also meant we got to know each other a bit which I think is important in an athlete-coach relationship.

My training schedule was incredibly flexible and I think this was the key. Jethro would dump my sessions in a two week block and I could move them around. For me this works perfectly as I very much decide on the day what I want to do based on how I'm feeling (and weather..!) and what iv done in the days preceding it. I didn't feel trapped or end up forcing things on certain days just because I was supposed to do them on that day.

One of the best bits for me was how Jethro suggested I did sessions. For me personally i prefer not to run to a pace and way prefer to run to feel. All my sessions (specific ones) were described in this way which I think worked so well. I think it developed my running too.

The diversity of my sessions was amazing and I noticed and felt the progression with them. Hills, longer stuff, longer stuff with speed (and without speed), lots of fartlek work and a big focus on practising essentials like fuelling (alien to me before this).

I was extraordinarily lucky with my whole block and got through issue free. Even luckier, I loved every minute!

Approaching the race i was very nervous about it as although I run a lot and had done numerous races in the past i had never ever done a marathon. He planned the race based on feel and broke the race into 3 stages, half then 2 x 10kms (another example of really tailoring a race plan to what I liked 😁)

The result, I came away with blew me away. I was over the moon with how I ran it (thanks entirely to jethro) and I guess how it felt. Before I knew it, it was Mile 24! And win win... I wasn't traumatised by the whole ordeal!! It will be a memory I won't ever forget :)

With Jethros support and NLCs wider community with lots of resources and guidance I have developed so much in my running. For me, at this stage in my running it's not so much about times or pbs it's really about the learning, self-development, being part of a fab community and enjoying the sport I love.

Thank u Jethro! And Team NLC.

Not just a coach! Being part of Team NLC and its community is a great experience. So much advice and guidance, and then support from the whole NLC family makes this a very unique coaching group. This can only bring the best out of you, and PB's & missons will be accomplished.

When I started my GWR attempt for the fastest Marathon dressed as a 3d aircraft (back in May 2023) raising money and awareness for London Air Ambulance, little did I know just what I DIDN'T have in the locker.

Having run my last LDN costume Marathon in 2009 at the spring chicken age of 35, I thought "YEAH I CAN DO THIS AGAIN AND JUST LIKE LAST TIME - I'll WING IT!" little did I know how wrong I was.!

Determined to gain the GWR and to make my family and friend proud of me, I blagged my way through training via social media for 9 months straight right up until Feb when it suddenly dawned on me that it and I wasn't enough - enter COACH! (think Ted Laso)

After a diarised phone call (with absolutely no pressure), we agreed to take on one another; me to agree to be Coached by a true professional - a former GB & NI Athlete with tons of experience, qualifications and talent along with a world class communication manner & Coaching skills . What followed was a three month journey of connection, discovery, talent-sharing, mindfulness, patience, pace, empathy, advice, belief, discipline, structure and last min comms ( even on the day).

Whilst I didn't achieve the WR (that was rightly grabbed by someone else in 3:34), I finished in 4:17 with my held held high and the belief that I ( we) could not have done more...

Well I say that . - I actually could have done, but this is NOT Coach's fault; as the pressure of the completion who I spotted at Mile 1 - got to me and the race strategy that Coach & I agreed flew out of the window as I let the other Chopper beat me mentally as he raced off in solid 8 min-miles from the start.
THIS WAS NOT COACHE'S FAULT I have to state, this was all on ME.

New Levels Coaching is utterly amazing, professional, consistent, experienced and kind, I've vowed never to do any more racing again... but if I change my mind - I'll make that call.

Thank you Moses and the team for all you've done.

I signed up to NLC following another NLC members recommendation. Best bit of advice I’ve ever had. When you sign up they find the best fit for you coaching wise. Since I signed up with NLC coach Jen I’ve improved so much I have a 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon PB. The plan is really easy to follow and fits around my work and social life. That’s said it is also adaptable. I am so happy with what I’ve achieved and accomplished with Jen I’m exited for my future in terms of running. Whilst at 55 I’m not the fastest runner out there but I feel I have so much more to give and find myself wanting to improve and do my best not just for me but for coach Jen and NLC. The NLC community is friendly and offers so much support. Next stop for me Berlin guided and coached by Jen. Totally recommend NLC you will never look back.

NLC is money well spent the coaches where very good and very approachable. The best experience I have yet with coaching money well spent. The traning meteral was very good with the plan and videos.

I’ve been coached by New Levels for several years now initially with Lewis and now with Sonia. The level of support is brilliant in assessing and setting goals and creating a flexible plan to achieve this, most recently leading to a 9 min marathon PB! 😀

Whilst training with New Levels I have achieved PBs across all distances and maintained or recovered quickly when suffered set backs.

Gemma’s weekly recorded stretch and strength classes are a great resource, keeping me strong and injury free as well as increasing my own knowledge and the monthly mindset sessions are a fantastic and interesting resource to tap into each month for some extra motivation!

My experience with Ross from NLC has been amazing. Would highly recommend for people just getting into running, to those more serious runners looking to crush a PB.

Pro's:
- the coaching platform (final surge) is very easy to use and makes communicating with your coach v easy.
- bespoke training plan each week, depending on how you're recovering and feedback from your sessions
- great pep talks pre-race! really get you fired up and ready for the big day
- a great community of runners

con's
- could seem a little pricy if you're comparing to a bespoke training plan or an app like Runna - but i think it's a very good investment and you can't compare the two

Title says it all , joined new levels coaching two years ago to help me get prepared for my first 50k ultra , having always been a keen sportsman I thought I could just run some miles each week and then go and do it , but after running too fast and picking up injuries I knew I needed expert help , my son was being coached by Lewis at the time and said invest in a six month training program and I would never look back , wise words indeed,the comprehensive planning and level of communication was just what I needed , giving me the structure and process to succeed, since then I’ve achieved things I never thought possible and even as I progress into my sixties am getting stronger and faster ( relatively) each year and competing in 10k to 50k races . The team seem to get a level of commitment from there clients that just breeds success and a very fun environment at the same time … so if you’re looking at new goal's for 2024 and wondering wether it’s worth getting real coaching, just do it !!

I’ve been with New Levels Coaching for a couple of years now having followed them on Instagram during lockdown. NLC is the most incredible team of supportive coaches. I haven’t had an easy journey due to health issues but my coach and the team has always been there encouraging me, adapting my training programme as needed, responsive and expert. I would recommend them in a heartbeat - a great team who go above and beyond. The remote coaching works really well

Team NLC and Coach Aaron have helped me achieve times beyond what I thought possible!

I worked for 8 years to break the sub 3 hour mark. After a 2:59 off my own back, I thought I'd give a coach a try.

Within six months I took 14 minutes out of my time. Purely due to the knowledge and power of coaching.

It's not all about times though, the community feel and support that comes with this fantastic group of people is worth joining, alone.

Lewis, Gemma and the team of coaches are all awesome and put on great events where you can meet others who are trying to achieve their impossible!

Writing this one off the back of doing my debut Manchester Marathon Block. With so much information out there around running, it was difficult to know where to start, so I put my trust in NLC.

Had the fortune of working with 2 coaches in the run up to MCR, Jacob first and then Jethro. Both of which offered so much through the journey, taking into consideration other life commitments (playing football on a weekend eg) and made it work for me.

The feedback is great to have, trusting that knowledge they have and allowing them to guide you, it makes it such a good experience.

For me personally having them structured weeks and having the accountability of a high quality coach has been immeasurable.

Looking forward to what the journey looks like from here!

The best investment you could make in yourself and your running. I’ve worked with Charlie for 6 months and in that time have set personal bests at every distance from 5k to marathon. The coaching I’ve received has been excellent and the community NLC have built around their coaching is second to none.

New Levels Coaching, and specifically my coach Charlie, have been a REVELATION for my running. Charlie deserves every bit of praise I can give him and I'm excited to continue working with him. The guy is a magician! As for NLC, the community is so inspiring, especially the WhatsApp group! Not a week goes by without an inspiring story being shared and people sharing their running journeys.

New Levels Coaching are there to help runners of all abilities and it is a fantastic community to be a part of, they are Runners for Runners and have helped me in so many ways

I joined NLC in Jan 23 and at this point I had been running for 7 years and been doing things on my own but I had gone backwards in the year before I joined and I needed some help.

Becoming a coached athlete with Lewis allowed me to learn lots more about running and conditioning. Structuring my week, making my easy runs easy and lots more. It made me accountable and with the expert support from Lewis and the online classes Gemma does it made me feel like I had a really comprehensive support network behind me

Lewis and the Team have so much knowledge and they are passionate and care about what they do and the runners they Coach.
There is no better feeling than texting your Coach after getting a new race PB, often within a minute or two of crossing the finish line!

Initially I joined for a block to run well at the London marathon in April, I soon realised I needed a long term view and decided on the full year, I am still on plan now and well into my 2nd year - the whole community along with the other runners is an inspiring place to be

In the first year I ended up running much faster than I could ever have imagined, I have taken 13 minutes off my marathon time and went Sub 3hrs in Valencia and that was way beyond what I thought I could ever run. For anyone that runs I cannot recommend this Team enough, come and be inspired

Since joining New Levels last summer I have been blown away by their knowledge, care and passion for what they do and for all of their athletes. I had previously been self coached for a number of years and the improvement in performance was almost immediate. Since that time, with Lewis' help and guidance, I have made a very successful transition from the roads to the trails. Embarking on this journey with the support of the New Levels team and their passion for trail running has made the experience an absolute pleasure. The results haven't been bad either!

As well as the wealth of knowledge and experience that Lewis and the team posses, they genuinely care so much about the other aspects of the coach / athlete relationship. The communication is excellent, their advice with goal setting, race strategy, psychology etc is thoughtful and individually tailored to me and the catalogue of additional resources is forever growing. It's hard to understand the value that is offered here as it totally surpasses what you might expect from a regular 'online coaching service'.

What's more, I have truly grown to think of them all as my very close friends. You will not find a better ecosystem for personal development nor a better collection of people anywhere else. It's truly something special and I am grateful to have found them.

I have been coached by Kirsty since February 21, building up to 5k and then progressing to my recent first marathon. Running is amazing for both my physical and mental health and Kirsty is instrumental in keeping me focused, achieving my goals and supporting me when life gets in the way as well. My experience with Kirsty and NLC has literally been life changing and I'm excited to see where 2024 takes me on my running journey.
