Meet the Coaches

Boxted Runners are actively investing in qualified running coaches to help our members achieve their running goals.

Many of our coaches have joined us as novice runners, maybe through one of our Absolute Beginners programmes, and then progressed to become qualified coaches at a later stage. All of the coaches have achieved or training towards a UK Athletics Association running qualification.

They are all experienced runners and you will see many of them at club sessions on a regular basis. The majority of our coaches lead the weekly training sessions and all of them are happy to provide personalised advice at a planned session or during an informal chat

If you need any running advice, just ask one of them!
