Your Running Pal Coaching
Who I am
I’m Gordon, a trail runner and coach who’s spent the last decade enjoying long days out in the hills.
In 2021, I swapped the peat bogs of northern England for the mountains of New Zealand, which reinforced what I love most about running: taking on challenges that feel just beyond your comfort zone.
I work with runners with a range of experience and ambition. I have helped runners to finish 200-mile events, win races and build consistency after a break from the sport. All of these goals are ambitious in their own right and involve a level of clarity and confidence on behalf of an athlete.
These challenges are where things get uncertain and where the right coaching makes the biggest difference.
I’ve been coaching sport since I was a teenager, and started Your Running Pal in June 2025 to help runners take on bigger, scarier goals with structure, confidence, and a plan that actually holds up when it gets tough.
Drop me a message below to arrange a free consultation and talk more about how I can help you chase your big scary goals and have more fun.
Athlete Testimonials
Communication is always open with him. Whenever my schedule or goals shifted, he quickly updated my plan to match what I was doing that week. Nothing is off-limits, and he keeps things flexible so you can still have fun rather than feeling like you're just constantly pounding the pavements to chase a specific race number. Because of that, training never felt like a grind. If I wasn't feeling a session, we just adjusted it.
— Sav KelleyWorking with Gordon has completely changed my approach to training. Having a personalised schedule that is structured, balanced and consistent has helped me make huge progress in my running endurance and confidence. I’m now taking on challenges and races that I wasn’t sure would ever be possible.
— David ByrneWorking with Gordon is an absolute joy. His naturally supportive and positive nature, and the right amount of nudge, makes it feel like it’s all you doing the work - it’s not. The training plan is awesome - the right amount of structure, the right amount of flex.
