Mountainstrong Coaching Bewertungen 

I wanted to challenge myself and get back into the longer distances with some mountains thrown in. From day one Howard has had my back. He is incredibly knowledgeable and works with me and adapts my plan with what my body is (or isn’t!) doing and my day-to-day challenges of balancing work and life.

I have been working with Howard for over 15 months now and my confidence is growing. Howard doesn’t just work with me on my running but also my strength & conditioning and nutrition, is at the end of the phone for calls or messaging, and we work together as a team. I’ve learnt so much.

Mountain strong coaching are the complete package, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Here's the truth....I'm an older runner (55) and I'm generally not much good! But I'm keen and have big goals, and I'm happy to say that in working with Howard I've seeing huge progress. My endurance is way up, and the addition of strength and mobility sessions to the running plan has kept me injury-free. In my latest race, a 35 mile trail event, I finished 12th of 85 starters, which is far beyond my expectations and proof to me that Howard's coaching really works.

Really enjoying being coached by Howard. He does a great job at keeping me accountable, adjusting the plan when needed, and making sure I always feel like I’m challenging myself. Every time we talk, he always teaches me something new!

Great coaching service, all sessions planned out well to take in to account my current fitness, future goals and schedule.

Howard explained the plan in ways that were easy to understand the process.

I would Highley recommend Mountain Strong for sure!

Been on a coaching plan with mountain strong for a couple of months. I'm really feeling the benefits already. Howard has been ace at tailoring the plan to fit around busy times and a niggling injury whilst also making sure I'm staying fit and strong! Would really recommend :)

Hello if you want to improve you have to work with people on a higher level and that's why i have chosen MC team

Different Levels Different Devils top training program that understands my needs and is trailed to me and my plan

Training for Rab Lake District Ultra

Although it has only been around 4 month since I've started working with Howard, I feel fitter, stronger & more confident with my running, recovery and fuelling. The daily sessions and weekly load are a great mix - challenging yet suitable for my fitness levels and with a clear purpose. Howard helped me increase my mileage safely, giving me valuable advice along the way and having great communication throughout. Very much looking forward to continuing working together towards the Spring and Summer races.

I couldn’t have asked for more from a coach than what I have received from Howard. His expertise, patience and guidance has set me up for results better than ever before, and the mixture of professional advice and friendly approach works perfectly for me. Sometimes it’s hard to judge till the big day arrives, but the program he’s adapted for me has certainly given me the tools necessary, and I’m stronger and fitter than ever.

I came to Maggie a bit broken after having tried to train myself for an ultra. In the couple of years since, she has worked with me on strength, pace and nutrition. It is thanks to her professionalism that I am now setting out on a 250k, 3-day adventure run. She has been available when needed with words of advice and encouragement, as well as endlessly changing my training schedule to fit in with a busy family life. She has been great at teaching the importance of recovery and listening to my body, as well as knowing when to push hard to improve.

Maggie has been working with our son for a number of months now on a programme of strength and conditioning training. She works alongside his British Cycling coaches as he is a BMX racer to ensure he is as strong and mobile as he can possibly be. She has built up an excellent working relationship with him and she spends a significant amount of time explaining to him why particular exercises will benefit him when he is on his bike either being coached or whilst racing. She demonstrates how exercises should look, very often sending videos to watch too and ensures correct technique before increasing any weight. Maggie is very good at working with the complete athlete so even though she is a S & C coach, she will also discuss the importance of rest, recovery, sleep, stress and diet and hydration. We have seen spectacular results since she started working with our young athlete.

I've been working with Mags on my strength and conditioning for just under 12months now. It was essential to me to find someone to help me balance my s&c with my running who also had knowledge of how a woman's body is affected as they get older, her understanding of the menopause and how easily we can burn out has been essential in my training and although I've chosen not to run the distances I used to I'm still running strong on the hills and getting great results in my age category. The best thing is I really enjoy my sessions in the gym every week and seeing the results cross over into my running is a real boost.

I can’t recommend Mags highly enough… I’ve been coached by Mags for the last year or so as I ventured into the world of ultra running, and she’s been amazing. A structured, yet flexible plan, clear goals, frequent communication, and lots of moral support. My running is the most consistent it’s ever been and feel like we’ve only just scratched the surface!

I've been working with Maggie from Mountain Strong Coaching since the very beginning back in 2018. I started with a running plan only but have recently added S&C too. I am seeing huge benefits already with the two combined.

Maggie has a wealth of knowledge and is super supportive, she is always on hand if I have any questions and has given me confidence to sign up for races and do distances I never thought I'd be able to do. The plans are super fun and varied and definitely get you strong!

I have been working with Mags for two years now and she has been brilliant.

Not only is she really knowledgeable but also super supportive and always at the end of the phone. She got me into the fittest shape of my life for Dragons Back 2021, unfortunately, I had to retire after turning over my right ankle with pretty bad ligament damage.

Maggy was really supportive and got me back to running again whilst focusing on strength and conditioning and supporting my rehabilitation back to running.

Maggy also really understands everything that is going on in my life outside of running. A young family and running a business and we have been able to adapt a plan around all of this to maximise time whilst continuing to make progress.

I would highly recommend Mountain Strong coaching to anyone. Stepping up from trails to mountain running is not easy but having this level of coaching, support and advice and being able to draw on her experience has been crucial for me making the jump!

I started coaching with Howard in September 2021, so have been with Mountain Strong Coaching for 18 months. Prior to working with Howard I was very much an occasional Park-Runner and had only done a few short races, so I was very green in the trail running let alone mountain running world. Using their bespoke training plans, and with their support I was able to complete my first 50k, 3000m+ mountain ultra within 10 months. Both coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, but more to the point, take the time and effort to get to you know as a person (and what else is going on in your life) to best adapt my training. I would highly recommend them if you're looking to get into or push your trail and mountain running.

Mountains Strong have been helping me my strength and conditioning for just a few weeks and I can already see a massive difference in my performance! Looking forwards to further work with them to aid in my running and climbing performance!

I’ve been working with Mags for almost 2 years now and her detailed and knowledgeable programming helped me to go from constantly injured after beyond 15km to achieving my first ultra marathon.
When I have been injured, her wealth of s&c knowledge has helped me to rehabilitate and come back stronger. I’d recommend her to anyone, wherever you are on your running or strength journey.

I've been seeing Maggie for just over a year for strength and conditioning and mobility training. Maggie has always targeted the work we've done to the niggles and injuries I've been experiencing and to the activities I've been focusing on. She's got detailed knowledge and experience of the relationship between mobility, strength and biomechanics and is always working to apply these in the work she does with you. After a few years of chronic injury I've returned to running with Maggie's help and am performing better than I have done for a long time. The work we've done has also helped with general health, mental focusing and walking and climbing. The sessions are great fun and Maggie is a superb motivator. I'd recommend Mountain Strong to anyone. Thanks Maggie.
