🎉 Congrats on grabbing the free nutrition guide!
That alone puts you ahead of your Strava friends.
But before you close this tab, give me one more minute.
If you’re still winging your training, wondering if your runs are actually working, or constantly dealing with little injuries... this next step is for you.
Train smarter. Recover better. And actually feel like you’re making progress.
A fully personalised running plan built by an Olympic finalist (and no, it’s not just a PDF with some workouts).
Get your running plan tailored to your race, your schedule and your life by clicking the button below.
You’re putting on your colourful running shoes.
You’re putting in the kilometers (or miles, depending on your location).
You even Google things like “zone 2 vs zone 3” when no one’s watching.
But for some reason, things still feel… off.
You train hard, but the progress feels kind of meh.
You finish runs, but wonder if they even counted.
You take a recovery day, but your legs missed the memo.
And then that voice shows up:
🤨 “Should I be doing more?”
🫨 “Wait, what zone am I in again?”
😰 “Why does my knee feel like that?”
If you’re struggling with any of the above, that doesn’t mean you’re lazy or doing it wrong.
You’re just missing a real system that actually fits your body, life and goals.
What you need isn't more motivation.
Or a tougher mindset.
Or another random 12-week plan you downloaded online.
What you need is a personalised program.
Something that works with your body, not against it.
Something that takes your training, recovery, and goals seriously, without taking over your life.
That’s why I built this.
As a pro athlete, I’ve spent years training with structure.
Not just doing the workouts, but understanding how they all connect.
-
How recovery supports performance.
-
How nutrition fuels adaptation.
-
How smart training prevents burnout and injury.
Now I’ve taken those principles and made them usable for everyday runners.
Whether you want a 5K PB or to finish your first marathon feeling strong.
You don’t need to be elite.
You just need a plan that’s actually built for you.
Hi, I'm John.
Olympic 5000m finalist. Professional runner.
And someone who remembers what it was like to train with no structure.
Back when I was juggling a master’s in Bioscience Engineering with running, I had no clue what I was doing.
But I’ve worked with world-class coaches, sports scientists, and performance experts. And I’ve learned what actually moves the needle.
Now I’ve pulled together everything I’ve learned into a training plan that makes those elite methods accessible.
So real people, with real jobs and real lives, can finally train with clarity.
Most running plans are either...
❌ A generic template with your name slapped on top
❌ Or an AI-powered app that builds a plan way too intense for real life
This is neither.
This is a real plan, built by a real person.
Tailored to your goals, your fitness level, and your life.
Not some fantasy plan where you’re training twice a day like you’ve got 32 hours to spare.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ You fill out a short form with your race, your timeline and schedule.
2️⃣ I take that info and build a plan that fits your life → not AI, not a template, me.
3️⃣ You get it within 48 hours inside the Nolio app.
4️⃣ Sync it with your watch and you're ready to go.
Every session has a purpose.
You know when to push, when to hold back, and how it all fits together.
No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
Just a plan that fits your life and actually gets results.

See how it works in the app
Watch me (on a very windy day) walk you through the training program and how it’s delivered, step by step.
This isn’t about running more.
It’s about running smarter and actually feeling it.
From the start, you’ll know what you’re doing and why it matters.
And every few weeks, you’ll hit a milestone depending on your goals.
Maybe that's feeling...
✅ Stronger on hills.
✅ Fresher after long runs.
✅ More confident on race day.
Whether that means crossing the finish line of your first marathon with your hands in the sky and tears in your eyes. Or finally breaking that stubborn 5K barrier without collapsing at the end…
This is the training plan that’ll earn you the most kudos on Strava. (Really!)
Here’s how that starts to unfold once we train together:
Phase 1:
You get your plan, sync your watch, and finally know what you’re doing.
Phase 2:
Each session moves you closer to your race goal, whether that’s a PB or just not blowing up at kilometer 7.
Phase 3:
Recover like it matters. Recovery isn’t a nap. It’s how your body actually gets better.
Phase 4:
We dial everything in: training zones, fueling, sessions.
So you don’t hit race week wondering if you’re ready.
Phase 5:
Race day hits different when you’ve trained right. You’re calm, confident, and ready to race.
By now, you're running like an Olympian.
You’re running better. And you feel it.
You’re no longer piecing things together with YouTube, guesswork, and panic the night before long runs.
You show up to race day calm. Not crossing your fingers and praying your knee behaves.
You know what to expect.
You know what you’re capable of.
And you finally feel like, yep… I trained for this.
Whether you’re chasing a PB or just want to finish without looking like a collapsed piñata. This is the part where it all comes together.
Real talk...
If you want to hit your goal: a PR, a first finish, or consistent training... this works.
But it only works if you do.
You still have to lace up, show up, and do the work.
(Even when Netflix looks tempting)
And yeah, sometimes you’ll want to throw your watch in a canal...
That’s normal.
But if you bring the effort, this system brings structure.
And that’s where real progress happens.
You can see it for yourself in the testimonials of some of my athletes. 👇

"John's plan completely blew me away. I feel stronger, faster, and more prepared than ever for my first marathon."
Not sure if this is for you? Let’s clear a few things up before you lace up.
-
Is this for beginners or only serious runners?
If you’re running regularly and care about improving, this is for you. You don’t need to be fast. You don’t need to feel like a “real runner.” You just need to want to train smarter.
-
Do I need a race to sign up?
Nope. A race gives us a focus, but your plan can also be built around training blocks or personal goals (like getting consistent or building base).
-
What distances can I train for?
5K, 10K, half marathon or full marathon. You choose the target, I build the plan.
-
How is this different from a training app or template?
This plan is built around you. Not an algorithm. Not a pre-made PDF. I look at your goals, your schedule and your experience to create the perfect plan for you.
-
Can I still join if I’ve been injured?
Yes. Be honest in your intake form, and we’ll build from where you are now. You’ll also get strength, mobility, and recovery tools to help reduce injury risk moving forward.
-
What if I have a really unpredictable schedule?
That’s exactly why I offer 1:1 coaching, here we can make adjustments into your plan along the way.
-
What if I want to cancel later?
You can cancel anytime.
