I signed up with Mindful Runner coming out of the lockdown, and wanting to take my backyard running to the trails. I’m a firm back-of-the-pack runner, but having a proper programme and the advice of Fred led to my first ultra this year, comfortably finishing what was a lifetime highlight. There’s no pressure, and Fred is always open to adapting the programme and advising when things don’t go as planned. The Mindful Runner community is welcoming and friendly, and I’d highly recommend Mindful Runner to anyone who wants to improve their running – and have fun doing it.
