"I had my doubts to start with as I was in Edinburgh and Chris was in Marlow but it actually worked out brilliantly. Chris wrote me a sixteen week schedule which he emailed me on a monthly basis. Each week I either called or emailed Chris to let him know how the sessions had gone and he then amended the schedule if necessary. I was really pleased with my run at the NYM and there is a pint with Chris’s name on it if he ever comes up to Edinburgh." John Roberston, New York Marathon

Chris Donald, Director of Purple Patch Coaching, is a senior lecturer in Sports Science at Thames Valley University; is a senior tutor for UK Athletics; has 12 years coaching experience of senior & junior athletes; has 30 years personal running experience.  His main strength, however, is his innate ability to build on existing strengths and weaknesses. Together with an empathetic approach to both new and experienced runners, this means that you can take away a training schedule that is  exactly the right one for you.

Whatever your experience or ability, there is no doubt that coaching will benefit your training. For only £40 per month you can have one-on-one coaching with as much or as little input from Chris as you wish. This can be via email, phone or face-to-face.
