Why Choose Adventure Run Coaching?
Do you enjoy running but are looking to take on the next adventure or challenge?
Are you wondering how much more you can achieve or want to try something new but are not sure how best to approach it?
Perhaps you have a specific race, event or route in mind but feel daunted by the challenge and would like some guidance in how to prepare or would like to learn some specific skills – how to navigate and plan routes, how to stay safe in the hills, build confidence on technical terrain and build your running distance or speed.
This is where Adventure Run Coaching comes in.
We offer a range of support from bespoke training plans to 1:1 coaching as well as practical courses in navigation for runners, night navigation and moving on technical terrain delivered by qualified run coaches, climbing instructors and mountain leaders.
We will work with you to develop a training plan which works around you and your life, combining proven training methods with our unique injection of adventurous spirit, to keep training interesting and relevant while you work towards your adventure goals.
Having a coach might be just the thing you need to
elevate your adventures to the next level by giving you that accountability and the focus and objectivity we all need to keep an eye on the bigger picture.
All of the coaches at Adventure Run Coaching work as part of a team and are coached themselves, because together, we can make big adventures happen.
Our Story
Both fell runners, climbing instructors and mountain leaders, Brett and Bethan soon discovered they also shared a passion for bracken bashing, slightly off-the-wall adventures and all things map-related and mountainous.
It didn’t take many conversations to ascertain
that Brett could identify any high point or pile of stones he had visited at least once and that Bethan was the only person he’d ever met who spent an equal amount of time poring over OS Maps as he did.
What followed was years spent concocting weird and wonderful routes, often starting and finishing at their respective front doors, conveniently situated at opposite ends of the Black Mountains in South Wales.
Door Trig Door sub hour challenge? The hilariously named ‘Pennau Way’ (Pennau being the Welsh plural of ‘pens’ or ‘peaks’ and pronounced not dissimilarly to Pennine if you say it fast enough) linking all of the Pennau in the Black Mountains. The 24 hour Clockwork Blorenge. Ten Cerrig Calch. The 4 hour max trig challenge. The infamous January elevation challenge. The list goes on and even includes some Bonafide FKTs (fastest known times or records)
and challenges fit for public consumption.
But what unites all of these challenges is not the accolade or prestige (because there is none) but the raw, unkempt spirit of adventure. The concept that every day is an opportunity to have an adventure, big or small, and it is from this idea that Adventure Run Coaching was born. If we are lucky enough to be able to run, we might as well have an adventure, and why
not aim high.
