Testimonials ...

"Coach Joe is one of the most passionate, enthusiastic, down to earth people you could ever have in your corner. He is someone that shows genuine warmth to you as a person, and also shows genuine interest in helping you improve your running in order to achieve your goals; whatever level that may be."

~ AK

"I reached out to Joe because I was overwhelmed by the amount of information that was out there regarding what a first-time marathon training plan should look like. I decided that a "one size fits all" approach would not work for me so I texted Joe hoping that he could coach me. From the very beginning Joe took the time to learn about my starting point, my objectives, my timeline and my availability which then led to a tailored training plan that allowed me to finish my first marathon in great shape and form. Not only did Joe create a personalised plan for me but he was on top of my progress and always available for calls in which he would share his knowledge with me (on nutrition, running shoes, tips and tricks, etc etc).

I would recommend Joe to anyone who is looking to get into running or who has very specific goals in mind: Joe is definitely your guy!"

~ MB

"Before coach Joe I was running 5km and could barely keep any pace, within 4 months I ran my first marathon and it’s all thanks to Joe.

By far the kindest and most understanding and supportive coach I’ve ever had and I couldn’t recommend anyone more!"

~ RM

"Joe Ward’s training plan and advise are invaluable, actually no they are ineffable!

It’s so good to be able to tell him your goals and trust that the plan he gives will get you there! I couldn’t recommend him more highly."

~ AB

"Accumulating small but consistent habits to achieve results that were unimaginable at the outset! Thanks Joe 🙏"
