“Working with Ry has made a real difference to my running. The training plan is customised and flexible to suit me and I have learned so much ……… The whole 8-month coaching experience was very rewarding and so much fun…..”

“I’ve been relishing in the Dirty Runners experience for 18 months. The remote format suits me perfectly as I live miles away from Ry and travel often for work but he can reach me in every corner of the planet. When you are training for an event you can’t hide. My goal working with Ry was accountability and his style is perfect. Both sympathetic and dictatorial at the right moments to ensure you get the result you’re after.Ry is motivating, I guarantee when you think you wont get your kit on and get out the door…..you will. I’ve even called him mid race, moaning and adamant I’m going to quit at the next checkpoint only to find myself crossing the finish line hours later 

Ry is also a font of knowledge, you’ll get endless running advice, nutrition advice, kit checks and he has a network of specialists to call on if you need to solve a specific challenge.

My Dirty Runners experience in a few words?  Successful, fun, life changing, incredible value, hilarious, un-regrettable, continuous

This maybe a one way thing, but Ry’s personality and style has meant he has become more than just a coach, but also a good friend. Further testament to the excellent experience as we haven’t met in person…..yet.

Finally, your investment in Dirty Runners will be the healthiest investment you’ll ever make.”

Good for age London Marathon qualifier 2020.

“Prior to meeting Ry I had been running 18 years, and whilst still loved it felt that my running had plateaued.
As a 44 year old runner I never thought I would be going further and getting faster. Ry coached me through the Trans Gran Canaria 130km ultra and helped me achieve my PB marathon time allowing me to automatically qualify for a good for age race category for London. Im now getting fast and fitter in all distances with a double Park Run PB on New Years day 2020, I still think the best is yet to come. Thanks to Ry and his amazing dedication and passion to getting the best out of all his coachees. My next goal is 400km across Scotland.”
