Harry Hughes Personal Training

Two races. Two weeks. One mission ❤️

This April I’m taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon (12th April) & the Manchester Marathon (19th April) as part of Team PureGym, raising money for the incredible British Heart Foundation.

Every mile I run is for the millions affected by heart and circulatory diseases and for the families who rely on the life-saving research this charity makes possible.

If you can, please support the cause. Every donation, no matter the size, truly makes a difference 🙏

Help me turn miles into impact.

“Ever felt like you’ve done all the training… but it still doesn’t feel like enough?”

That’s Maranoia 👇

It creeps in a few weeks before race day and suddenly your brain is saying:

• “What if I get injured now?”
• “What if I get ill before the start?”
• “What if something goes wrong mid-race?”
• “What if I’m just… not ready?”

And underneath all of that 👇
👉 “What if I fail?”

Here’s the truth…

You’re not underprepared.
You’re just stepping into something that matters to you.

That pressure? That doubt?
It shows you care.

But don’t let it steal what you’ve built.

✅ You’ve done the work
✅ You’ve earned your place on that start line
✅ You are more ready than you feel

Maranoia is normal — but it doesn’t get to decide your race.

Save this for race week 👇
And swipe for how to take back control.

Only 3 marathon training runs you actually need.

Not 7 sessions.
Not fancy gimmicks.
Not smashing yourself every week.

If you nail these 3 consistently, you’ll build endurance, speed AND resilience 👇

🏃 Easy Run
⚡ Speed Session
🧠 Long Run (with Marathon Pace)

Simple. Repeatable. Effective.

Most runners get injured because they overcomplicate training or run too hard too often.

Structure beats chaos every time.

More miles doesn’t always make you better - recoverable miles do.

*CLIENT SPOTLIGHT*
Jack has accomplished an impressive personal best, improving his half marathon time by 14 minutes this year. After only 9 weeks of focused running workouts, I can’t wait to see his next achievements!

Here’s what he had to say: I couldn’t recommend HH enough. After starting to work with Harry less than 6 months ago my running and conditioning has gone from strength to strength. I have hit PB’s in multiple distances, with my biggest achievement being taking 14 mins off my previous Half marathon PB. Harry has accommodated all of my individual restrictions and adjusted the plan accordingly so I get the most out of our sessions.

☀️ Running in the UK heat? Yes, it’s rare… but right now, it’s real! Here are my top 3 survival tips for your runs when the suns out:

1️⃣ Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate. Water before, during & after – trust me, your body will thank you (& don’t neglect your electrolytes too!)
2️⃣ Early bird gets the breeze. Run early or late if you can to dodge the midday sun-meltdown.
3️⃣ Don’t sweat the paces. Your body will be working harder in the warmer temperatures. Try to ignore the watch and just run to effort.

🏃‍♂️💦 Stay cool out there, pavement pounders!
