trail runnING COACHING

Personal online coaching package based around your goals and needs.
SIGN UP
Running trails, whether just for fun or in a race, is a fantastic experience, and a must for any runner (or non runner!).

Do you want to take your running to another level?

​With my support I can ensure that you approach that race or challenge start line safe in the knowledge that you are mentally and physically prepared for what lies ahead. I'll support you the whole way and ensure that you get an achievable and realistic training plan that fits around your lifestyle needs and commitments. 

​
🌍 The advantage of online coaching is it doesn't matter where you are, I can help you as everything is remote. I coach people from all over the world.

Whether you are a first timer or an experienced runner, I can help you achieve your goals. 

Across more than 10 years, I have coached all ranges of abilities, from first time trail runners who have never done a race before, to podium chasing elites who are continuously pushing to get that next victory. Everyone gets the same level of support, whoever you are and whatever your goal is. No goal is too big or too small.

Matt Buck

meet the coach 

I’m Matt Buck, a Salomon and Suunto Ambassador, experienced trail runner, and qualified coach.

​As a passionate trail runner and Mountain Leader, I’ve tackled some of the toughest races and challenges around the world. I use this experience to help my clients achieve their goals. Whether you're aiming to complete your first trail race or push your limits in the mountains, I can help. Let's take your trail running to the next level!


"Matt is a truly fantastic coach. Having only ever ran a half marathon before, I signed up for a multi day ultra, which Matt helped me train and prepare for. He was extremely professional, and supportive from the beginning, giving me confidence in my own ability and allowing me to look forward to my race - rather than dreading it! His detailed training plans are easy to follow, and he gave great advice when I was dealing with niggles whilst upping my mileage. I managed to complete the run, injury free, and in a better time than I would have ever imagine! Couldn’t recommend him enough! Thank you Matt!"

"Matt coached me for my first (and second!) ultra marathons and I can highly recommend him. I'd been running for 20+ years before working with Matt and work as a PT myself, but I can honestly say that I learnt so much from his coaching. He really knows his stuff and is super supportive. I know I wouldn't have been able to complete or enjoy these challenges as much without his help. Thank you, Matt!"
