Its not just about being fit, its about having the right people in your corner at the right time

If you are gearing up for a big race get Marc in your corner. His advice, tough love and magic hands got me over the line at both The Montane spine sprint and the Highland Fling.

Looking forward to teaming up again, when I take on the West Highland Way in 2026- and with the right support, smashing sub 24 hours.

Training tips, mindset shifts, recovery support, he's got it all, look him up if you want to go the distance.

I have never been 'good' at running and had tried doing couch to 5k lots of times on my own and never got past the first few weeks. Marc inspired and motivated me from day 1 !! It's such a different experience going on the journey as a group and everyone was so supportive and encouraging! I loved seeing us all go from running 1 min intervals to competing a 5k. Marc is a very talented athlete, life coach and just genuinely nice guy !! If you want to improve your fitness, feel proud of yourself and make lots of new friends on the way, sign up now you wont regret it.

I signed up for couch to 5k to improve my fitness and to hopefully enjoy running again. Although it was my own determination that made it happen, Marc's support throughout the programme kept me motivated and inspired. He is an amazing athlete with a wealth of experience and knowledge that makes you feel you are in safe hands.

Marc is so enthusiastic and you can tell he genuinely wants everyone to succeed .His sessions are inclusive, ensuring no one is left behind. I enjoyed every minute of it and will keep running in the future as a result.

9 Weeks ago I started couch 2 5k and I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Marc is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. Last Friday we ran a full 5k what an amazing feeling. Thank you Marc for all your motivation and support I now officially have the running bug. I would highly recommend joining Marc on the next programme. You wont regret it.

I tried myself at least 3 times to complete couch to 5k, each time unsuccessfully, when I seen the programme offered I thought ok what's to lose .Between the group setting and the coaching offered it's been the key to success for me. You can tell Marc has went above and beyond to make the group successful in between his own busy life and own fitness goals. He has put a lot of work into planning methods/routes, support all just to get people to enjoy running as much as he does. Honestly Could not recommend this group more.

I signed up for the last Couch25k. From my first enquiry Marc sent me the details and all about the plan. As I'm a wee bit older I did wonder if I would manage to complete it.

During the initial sessions I became so focussed and couldn't wait till the next session with our group. The support from Marc was brilliant, always encouraging and supportive-not once did I think about giving up! The 9 weeks passed so quickly and our group bonded- supporting each other.

Last Friday night we ran a whole 5k- everyone was buzzing- we had come so far since the tentative steps on our first night.

You're not just getting a great coach- you're getting someone who genuinely cares about your growth, your well-being and your success. I can't recommend him enough.

A huge thanks to Marc for everything-if you are thinking about it all I can say is 'go for it' you wont regret it.

I have never been a runner. I attempted the couch to 5km myself and couldn't get past week 3. I was at a point of giving up. I contacted Marc initially asking about a PT, Marc effectively told me I would benefit more from joining his C25K group. I was anxious as his current group had already et and completed week 1 and 2. After email chats back and forth and a LOT of reassurance from Marc, I joined the group on week 3 of the programme. I was promised a genuine warm welcome and I got that in abundance from the group each session without fail. We have just completed our first 5k together at the weekend and we all agreed we couldn't have done it without Marc's support. He had faith in us when we didn't believe in ourselves. He is dedicated to helping you achieve your goal and celebrates small and big wins with you more than a coach but as a friend too. Marc ran with me, talked to me along the way on nights where I wanted to give up and go home. Coaching is a special gift, not everyone has it and some people who do, don't use it effectively. Marc was born to coach and guide people through some of their hardest times. Joining this group has genuinely changed my life and met some amazing people along the way. You will not regret it.

9 weeks ago I joined this group, having tried many times to do it on my own and failed. Today we completed 5k and our 1st parkrun. Couldn't have done it without Marc's coaching. So anyone who is thinking of signing up do not hesitate, you will be where I am in 9 short weeks.
