We focus on getting you to the start line healthy, race-ready and with a plan to enjoy the experience and get the result you want.
Our coaches can help you get more from your training and racing - whatever your level.
Why hire a coach?
You have a big goal you want to achieve but not sure how to get there - like your 1st ultra, your 1st 100-miler, the Marathon Des Sables, the UTMB, or something else...
You're stuck...
You're just starting out...
You're cruising and feel bored...
You want to make a breakthrough...
You hire a coach because you want to go places - and you know it'll be easier, faster (and more fun) with help and support.
Simply put, hiring a coach will give you the best chance of achieving your big goals.
XNRG ultra coaching has been developed to enable more people to achieve their ultra running dreams. We'll work with you on much more than a tailored training programme. As well as the physical preparation, we'll also use XNRG founder Neil Thubron's 7P formula for achieving any big goal - something he developed after winning the 300-mile Yukon Arctic Ultra.

Our coaches have one goal: to work with you to help you achieve your ultra running dream.
UKA Qualified
Our coaches are UKA qualified and have been through XNRG Coach Training. The training takes them through the XNRG coaching process, the 7P Formula structure, holistic coaching skills, and much more. On top of this they are very experienced ultra runners, as you will see from their bios.
Progress Tracking
We use the latest technologies so your coach has immediate live data about your progress.
Discounted Entry
As an XNRG coaching client, you will also get discounted entry into our events and receive an XNRG Endurance Athlete hoodie.
Regular Contact
We'll have regular (roughly every 10 to 14 days) 1:1 telephone or skype calls to talk through your progress, as well as the ability to communicate at any time via Whatsapp, text or email.
Tailored to you
Our coaches will work on all elements of your preparation. From the minute you sign up, you will know you are being looked after as an individual and that our programme is about the whole you, not just the physical you.
Coaching Toolkit
You will receive our 132 page Coaching Toolkit when you sign up. It'll take you through the whole programme, from your first conversation, the preparation, the training, and the race strategy, to setting your next goal. The Coaching Toolkit is there to enable you and your coach to track and record your progress, learnings and strategies.

Personal Comment
"While I think running itself stretches our perceived limitations, my own conscious challenge lies with how I cope and balance stretching myself physically within unfamiliar environment both internally and externally. Running makes me a better person."
