Description

I work with executives and organisations on leadership development, with individuals on life and career coaching, and with runners on performance and mindset. Whatever brings you here, my approach is the same: human-centred, evidence-based, and built around you.
How I work
I treat people as whole humans — with histories, emotions, and agency. I don't impose frameworks; we co-create them. My work is rigorous without being rigid, and every programme or coaching relationship is designed to build your ownership, not your dependency on me.
I create spaces where people feel able to think aloud, experiment, and be imperfect. That psychological safety isn't a soft extra — it's the condition that makes real growth possible.
What makes my style different
I use story, humour, metaphor, and sometimes physical movement to help people understand themselves more deeply. Running is one of the tools I use — it's not the whole offer. Whether the work happens on a trail, in a coaching conversation, or in a leadership workshop, the goal is the same: insight that sticks and practice that lasts.
For organisations and executives
I design leadership programmes that translate behavioural science and coaching theory into simple workflows, practical tools, and psychologically safe group processes. Participants feel seen, not lectured. I've worked across healthcare, education, and professional services, and I'm based in Bristol with clients across the UK.
For individuals
Life and career coaching with me is warm, direct, and genuinely collaborative. We work on what matters to you — confidence, transitions, clarity, purpose — and I'll challenge you when it serves you.
For runners
I coach runners who want to perform better and think more clearly about their training. I bring evidence-based methodology, endurance experience, and a coaching approach rooted in autonomy and long-term sustainability.
Bristol-based. Values-rooted. Zero pressure.
I don't use extractive or salesy tactics. If what I offer fits what you need, we'll know quickly. Get in touch and we'll find out.

Martin has worked with me to build a schedule that fits around my busy lifestyle; working on increasing consistency and fitness. He has been really supportive, with regular check ins and confidence boosters, and knowing that there is someone who wants me to succeed has really helped with my accountability and motivation. I would recommend Martin to anyone who wants help to achieve their running goals with a friendly and flexible approach.

I had a really positive experience working with Martin. They created a supportive, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable being open about my goals & challenges. Their questions were thoughtful and helped me gain clarity on I want, while the clear exercises and scientifically backed evidence offered, kept me motivated and accountable. Martin has also challenged me to consider what is possible and to challenge and stretch myself in aspects that I had not considered in the past. This has allowed me to come away with a clear sense of what I want to achieve and more confidence in my ability to do so. I’d highly recommend Martin to anyone.

I recently started my journey with Run Coach, and although it hasn’t been completely straightforward due to some early injuries, Martin has been incredibly supportive throughout. He has always been willing to adapt and revise plans when needed, ensuring that the approach suited my individual needs and circumstances. Martin is always available to answer questions and address any concerns, which has given me great confidence in the process. One of the most valuable additions for me has been the Thinking Run sessions. Having Martin there to coach us while explaining different strategies and techniques helped me better understand my training and gave me practical tools to improve my running. I’ve really appreciated the personalised support and guidance, and I would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking to progress in their running journey.

I first started working with Martin because I felt stuck in my career path and unsure which direction to take. His structured sessions, practical tools, and thoughtful questioning created a space where I could reflect deeply while still feeling positively challenged. The tasks he set between sessions helped me build insight, and the level of challenge ensured that every session moved me forward. Through our work together, I’ve gained clarity on how to bring my physiotherapy skills together into a more coherent and fulfilling career. I’ve been able to enrol in training that aligns with my goals and make changes to work classes that were no longer serving me. This has given me more structure in my business, improved my productivity, and had a meaningful impact on my personal wellbeing. Martin offers a genuine level of care and professionalism, balanced with just the right amount of challenge to help you grow and succeed. I would highly recommend working with him if you’re struggling to make decisions or implement changes you know you need to make.

I had an initial consultation with Martin where I explained my goals and what I was hoping to achieve. He took the time to ask detailed questions, clearly explained the process and associated costs, and followed up with helpful information by email, which I found extremely useful. Throughout the time I worked with Martin, he was consistently supportive, knowledgeable, and professional. We met in person on several occasions, where he demonstrated drills and exercises that formed part of my personalised training plan. Whenever I needed a refresher on a particular drill or technique, Martin was always happy to send videos and additional guidance to ensure I stayed on track. Communication was excellent throughout. Any questions or concerns I had were answered promptly, and I always felt well supported. In addition to the training programme, Martin also provided practical nutrition advice in the lead-up to my event, which was greatly appreciated. I also found the training app he uses very easy to navigate. It helped me stay accountable to the plan and track my progress, rather than drifting away from the structured programme. Having now successfully completed my event, I am taking a break from long-distance running. However, if I decide to take on another challenge in the future, I would not hesitate to work with Martin again. I have already recommended him to others and would happily continue to do so.
