What RunFit Runners Say

Real results from runners coached by Ian and Barry across all distances.

Ian's speed work transformed my 5K time. Having a coach who actually ran 800m at a high level is incomparable — the session structures and rest periods are on a different level entirely.

Silver Plan · 5K/10K Runner · Coach: Ian

Barry got me to my first sub-4 marathon. He understood the marathon demands in a way only someone who has done it themselves can. The pacing strategy he gave me was spot on.

Gold Plan · Marathon Runner · Coach: Barry

The biomechanics analysis identified a hip drop issue I'd had for years. Within 6 weeks of the prescribed drills my IT band pain was gone and I ran a 3-minute half marathon PB. Incredible.

Silver Plan · Half Marathon · Coach: Barry

As a complete beginner I was nervous, but Ian made it so accessible. The RunFit app means I always know what to do and my coach can see my progress — it's like having Ian in my pocket.
