⛰️ HILL SPRINTS AREN’T JUST ABOUT RUNNING UP A HILL…

There’s a reason I include them in my runners’ training plans. 🏃‍♂️

Used correctly, hill sprints can help develop:

💪 Running-specific strength
⚡ Power and speed
🏃 Better running mechanics
🔥 Stronger glutes and calves
📈 Improved running economy
🧠 Confidence when the going gets tough

You don’t need every session to be longer or harder to improve.

The key is having the right sessions, at the right time, for the right reason.

That’s what structured coaching is about — taking your current fitness, your goals and your lifestyle and building training that moves you forward.

Whether you’re targeting a 5K PB, marathon, HYROX or simply want to become a stronger runner, your training should have purpose.

🔥 WHERE COULD YOUR HYROX FITNESS BE BY MANCHESTER?

HYROX Manchester in January.

That gives you plenty of time to make a serious difference to your running if you start putting the right work in now. 🏃‍♂️💨

Imagine getting to race day knowing your running is stronger, your pacing is better and you can hit each station without already feeling blown from the run before it.

That’s exactly why interval and tempo sessions can be so valuable for HYROX training.

⚡ Intervals help improve your speed, VO₂ max and ability to recover between harder efforts — perfect for the stop-start demands of HYROX.

🔥 Tempo running develops your ability to hold a strong, controlled pace for longer and teaches you to stay comfortable while working hard.

🏃 Group training gives you the structure, accountability and other runners around you to push that little bit harder than you might on your own.

You don’t need to be the fastest runner in the group either. Our sessions are designed so different abilities can train together at their own level.

If HYROX Manchester is your goal, don’t wait until January to start working on your running.

Start now and see where you could be by race day. 👊

📩 Message me “HYROX” if you want to come along to one of our sessions.

MORE THAN JUST A RUNNING GROUP 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

It’s about turning up, putting in the hard work and doing it alongside people who want to see you improve. 💪

Different paces. Different goals. Different abilities.
But when the session starts, everyone is there for the same reason — to get better.

Group training gives you the motivation to push when it gets tough, the support to keep going and a community that celebrates each other’s progress. 🙌

The hard work gets done together.
The results are earned individually. 🔥

🔥 WANT TO GET BETTER AT HOLDING A STRONG PACE?

Tomorrow night we’re back at the Costa Loop for our Thursday tempo session 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Tempo running is a massive part of becoming a stronger, more efficient runner.

It helps you:

⚡ Hold a faster pace for longer
🫁 Improve your aerobic endurance
💪 Build strength and resistance to fatigue
🎯 Learn how to control your effort and pacing
🏁 Feel stronger when the pace gets tough in races

The goal isn’t to run flat-out. It’s about finding that comfortably hard, controlled effort and learning to maintain it.

Whether you’re training for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon or HYROX, tempo work can play a big part in moving your running forward.

📍 Costa Loop – Xscape
⏰ Thursday | 6:30pm

KEEP GOING. YOUR HARD WORK WILL PAY OFF. 🔥🏃‍♂️
Every session. Every rep. Every time you turn up when it would be easier not to.
It all adds up.
Last night’s speed session was another example of people showing up, pushing themselves and putting in the work towards their own goals. 💪
Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but imagine where you could be in 12 weeks if you just kept showing up.
You deserve to see what happens when all that hard work finally pays off.
Don’t stop before you get there. 👊

Exciting times for Pontefract Running Coach! 🏃‍♂️💛

Proud to have Donna Johnston on board as our sponsor - and to be wearing her name on my coaching kit!

I’ve known Donna for years, and she helped me buy my home, so this one feels personal. To have her believe in what I’m building and get behind our running community means a lot.

What started with my own love of running has grown into a group of people showing up, working hard and supporting each other every week. Donna’s support is another exciting step for Pontefract Running Coach, and I can’t wait to see where we take it.

Thank you, Donna. Exciting times ahead! 🙌

You can be strong on the stations, but if every run leaves you breathless, the next station feels harder than it needs to. 🏃‍♂️

Running form matters. Relaxed shoulders, a steady rhythm and a stride that feels natural can help you run more efficiently and waste less energy across all eight runs.

Intervals help you practise something HYROX demands: settling into your running pace when your heart rate is already high, then arriving at the next station ready to work instead of completely blown. 💪

You don’t have to sprint every training run. The right mix of easy running and purposeful intervals can build the fitness to hold your pace from start to finish.

Training for HYROX and want to improve your running? Message me HYROX and let’s work on it. 📩

Discipline starts before the run does. 🏃‍♂️

It’s getting out the door, taking time to warm up properly, and doing the work even when motivation isn’t there.

Some days the run feels brilliant. Other days, showing up is the win. Keep stacking those days and see where they take you. 💪

What helps you get out the door on the harder days?
