Athlete Testimonials

“Cooper was my running coach for my Royal Parks half marathon! Working with Cooper not only helped improve my running ability, he also helped improve my mental resilience and belief in myself. Without him I never would have believed I could finish the half marathon. He gave me a flexible plan that adapted to my 12+ hour shifts and was always a message away on WhatsApp. When I became unwell in the final month, Cooper was not only a running coach but a friend who understood and was there for me. He made me believe I could achieve a sub 2:50 half marathon, and I came away with 2:39 — a 34 minute PB! He’s an absolutely amazing coach and I would recommend him to anyone.”

“I’ve been working with Cooper now for 6 weeks and as a coach myself I know the value of having someone in your corner. I decided to work with Cooper because I could see his passion for the sport and his results from other athletes. What’s held me back in the past is my delusional optimism. Increasing intensity/volume too quickly thinking that I’m invincible and then picking up injuries and being sidelined during my block. Working with Cooper has not only allowed me to learn from a new approach, but it’s given me the reins I needed to restrict myself to remain consistent through a short block in which I didn’t have much time to play with. The goal is sub 3 in Valencia in December and yesterday I ran a 79:58 half at Battersea which gave me a lot of confidence for in 3 weeks.”
