Most training plans expect you to live like a professional athlete. But you have a demanding career, a family, and endless real-world commitments. Trying to force a rigid, copy-and-paste schedule into a chaotic life is a fast track to injury and burnout.
You don’t need more random mileage – you need a smart, adaptable training plan. At PFM Coaching I combine science-backed, BSc Honours approach with real-world experience gained from crossing over 30 ultra-marathon finish lines (including 100 and 200-mile events). I build plans that adapt as your life happens, ensuring you progress without burning out.

WHO IS THIS FOR
the improver
You are already running consistently but you’ve hit a performance ceiling. You want to unlock your true potential, build structured speed, and smash your personal records with a targeted, periodised progression plan.
THE BUCKET-LISTER
You are stepping up to a major milestone—your first marathon, a grueling ultra, or a multi-day trail event. You need a safe, rock-solid mileage roadmap from someone who has crossed 30+ ultra finish lines and knows the terrain.
THE STUCK RUNNER
You are tired of doing the same random mileage week after week with no real progress. You need to break out of the rut, shake up your routine, and introduce custom adaptation that gets you moving forward again.
THE RESILIENT RUNNER
You are stuck in a frustrating cycle of training, getting injured, recovering, and starting over. You need science-backed loading strategies, smart pacing, and custom volume management to build a resilient body that stays on the trails.
How It Works
1. We Talk
We start with a free initial consultation to fully break down your running history, goals, and lifestyle. No pressure, no judgement – just a real conversation to map out your goals and see if we’re a coaching fit.
2. I Build the Plan
Next, I design a science-backed training plan tailored entirely around your busy life. Delivered straight to you via Endogusto, every run and workout includes custom pacing, targets, and calculated metrics to completely remove the guesswork.
3. We Adapt
Life happens, endurance training isn’t linear. Through active daily data monitoring and constant communication, we adjust on the go. If you travel, get stuck at work, or face a minor niggle, I adjust your plan so you arrive at the starting line in great shape.
RUNNERS WHO SMASHED THEIR GOALS
“Having used different training programs, apps, and experts before, Steve’s coaching was a real game changer. I’ve gone from aiming for 5K to completing my first full marathon, with PBs along the way. There’s no comparison between those tools and Steve’s genuinely human, adaptable approach. His passion, empathy, and commitment to his athletes have made all the difference – the results have been fantastic.” Yianny T – Marathoner & Busy Professional
“He is so dedicated to his athletes and wants to see them thrive and reach their goal. Steve has most certainly done that for me.” Angharad – Ultra Marathoner– 100 Mile Finisher
“The experience of being coached by Steve is beyond my expectations, no app or plan compares. Even with a busy life, I improved at every distance I aimed for: 5K, 10K, half, and full marathon. His plans are detailed, affordable, and adapted perfectly to me and my husband. I’m so proud to be one of his students from the Philippines – 10/10 service!” Maan G– PBs from 5k to Marathon
“Working with Steven definitely got me there and I am totally indebted to him for believing in me and supporting me all the way” Heather Morgan – Marathon Runner
“Easy to follow instructions and such a in depth insight into training, attention to detail was brilliant. Definitely made a difference to my ultra training and gave me everything I needed to improve my fitness and conquer my running goals” Leanne Parsons – Ultra Runner

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The consultation is a relaxed conversation for us to chat about your running history, upcoming goals, and daily schedule. It’s a chance for you to see if you like my coaching style, and for me to make sure I can build the perfect strategy for you.
Not at all. I hate high-pressure sales pitches as much as you do. There is absolutely no pressure or obligation to sign up. It is purely a discovery call to ensure we are a good coaching fit before anyone spends a penny.
My coaching is for runners who are ready to commit to a structured process, trust the science, and communicate honestly. It is not for anyone looking for a generic, unchangeable spreadsheet or an overnight quick fix. I coach runners who want sustainable, long-term progress.
Yes. Because every single training plan is built entirely from scratch, I coach across the full spectrum. I work with beginners stepping up to their very first distance goals, busy midlife runners balancing packed careers, and endurance athletes tackling grueling trail ultras. If you have a goal, you are a “runner like me.”
Life happens, and endurance training isn’t linear. If you get stuck at work, have to travel, or a minor injury flare-up happens, you don’t need to stress. You simply drop me a message, and I adjust your upcoming week so you stay safely on track. Your plan bends so you don’t break.
Premium, 1-on-1 coaching starts from £70/month. There are no hidden setup fees and no restrictive long-term contracts, everything runs on a flexible, rolling monthly commitment. We can discuss which tier best fits your specific needs during your free consultation.
