“Since I become part of the Endurance State team, around 6 months ago, my training has improved massively.
The workouts are well explained. I have a full understanding of what I’m doing next, and more importantly, the reason why and how that’s going to help to achieve my goals.
Chris is always there for you and with his support and training, I now see myself running longer distances.”
“I chose to prioritise Health and Fitness in June 2022 after a lengthy period of no exercise and considerable weight gain.
“I’ve been coached by Chris at Endurance State for the last 6 months. The first of which I was injured. I’ve also had covid, which took at least a month to recover from.
Despite this, I could PB over any distance tomorrow at a moment’s notice. I feel stronger, fitter, and better prepared for any race scenario.
With every issue I’ve had, Chris has explained the possible causes and given a long-term solution to the problem. If you’re looking for a running coach, I would highly recommend Endurance State.”
“Endurance State coaching isn’t just access to a running coach, it’s a state of mind. As a runner of some 15 years I thought what can a coach teach me about putting one foot in front of the other, but the coaching I have received has really opened my eyes. I decided to seek a coach after a period of approx. 6 months of injury with the resulting dip in fitness giving me a real lack of mojo, I honestly thought I would never get back to my best, 41yrs old so this surely was the beginning of my decline, not at all Endurance State coaching to the rescue.
Chris who is a GB/England international runner and all-around amazing individual, spoke to me and we discussed my goals, strengths, weaknesses, my mental health around running , my nutrition and recovery, how I need to juggle my training around my family/work, and from that he devised a personalised plan. The plan initially consisted of small steps of just finding mojo, getting my stamina back and running regularly with mini goals along the way so I can see the positives and progress. This moved onto sharpening and finding my pace again with specific weekly sessions to focus on either aerobic or anaerobic strength, again with mini goals along the way.
Chris is always available to talk to and he’ll always listen to you and alter the plan as required, for example if you cant fit in a session because of other life commitments.
I can’t recommend this coaching enough, its helped me finally get back to sub 6’s, finally get back towards the front end of local races, helped me with my mojo, helped me find my love for running again and helped me find the Endurance State. This isn’t the end for me and with continued coaching I still have future goals to work towards”
“I decided it was now or never and I started to investigate running coaches. I started with a coach for the first time in the summer and was truly the best thing I ever did 🙌🏼.
The first coach I had was great and a brilliant intro to more regular training and mileage but, as I got a little more clear about what I wanted to get from the sessions, I realised that coach wasn’t quite the right fit for me so I did some MORE research and found Chris Holdsworth and OMG what a revelation!!!
I’ve not only found a wonderful running coach who understands me but he’s also a bit of a life coach too (not intentionally I might add). His enthusiasm, immense knowledge and joy of running is infectious and I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings.”
“I’ve learned so much since I started at Endurance state. Chris coached me through my first 50 mile race and subsequent 38 mile race The Tour de Helvellyn.
His structured programme is tailored to suit the running goals of the individual whilst taking into consideration the need for flexibility- and it works!
Chris is incredibly thorough, supportive and knowledgable. He can coach you to become the runner you’d like to be and I would recommend Endurance State to any of my running friends.”
