The Running School Birmingham

Fantastic experience: Absolute game changer! Nick is very knowledgeable and helpful, highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Our 7 year old has attended 12 sessions with the team and their running technique has noticeably improved. The team have been great right from the initial enquiry, built a good relationship with our child, made training fun and shared regular progress updates with the parents! We would highly recommend this School!

Fantastic experience: My son really enjoyed his sessions at the Running School. What he learnt and the improvement is remarkable. He runs with more confidence. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! All the team are brilliant and my son’s improvement is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: I booked my son into a block booking to help improve his running technique. Too say we are happy is an understatement, the results are absolutely incredible. Euan has enjoyed every part of it, he had fun while seriously working hard, he worked with quite a few of the staff and loved them all. They have all been so approachable and I know euan has felt so comfortable with them while knowing he needs to put a shift in. I cant thank the team enough ! Seriously recommend!

Fantastic experience: Working with Nick for the past 3 months has been nothing short of a life changing experience. From having the mindset of never being able to run again after being in a road traffic accident to running a 5k in 29.07 minutes (I was very fit before my injuries with a PB of sub 17 minutes), I am absolutely delighted with the physical and mental recovery since working with Nick.

Fantastic experience: I found the running school after injuring myself training for the London Marathon. As someone in their late 30's I originally started training using a generic online plan and injured myself only a few weeks into my training. After an initial consultation I purchased the full Marathon package and it's safe to say if it wasn't for Nick and the team I wouldn't have made it around London, and I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed the day as much. Nick, Nathaniel and Ellie rebuilt me from injury twice; initially when I first started the program and more crucially when I injured myself 6 weeks out from London. The whole team were so friendly and supportive and the thing that really stuck out was that it didn't matter which one of the team was taking my session, they knew exactly where I was in my program, the factors we needed to work on and the whole program was seamless from one session to the next. On top of this, it wasn't just the in-person lessons and the bespoke training schedule that provided a benefit, the team were on hand over whatsapp or email for any questions or concerns I had along the way. I would 100% recommend them for any ability runner, whether you're running your first marathon, or trying to improve on an already solid technique.

Fantastic experience: The Running School was an incredible experience for our son, the transformation of running style from before, to after a series of coaching sessions was phenomenal - until you actually do these sessions, you probably haven't realised that no-one normally teaches you how to run, you just do it ! I thoroughly recommend working with Nick, Ellie and Team running School.

Fantastic experience: As a father to two active and determined young girls, Xanthe and Connie, I can’t speak highly enough of the incredible experience they’ve had with The Running School Birmingham. From the very first session, Nick and his team demonstrated the perfect blend of professionalism, warmth, and expertise. Both girls were instantly made to feel welcome and supported, and the tailored coaching they received has made a noticeable difference to their running technique, confidence, and overall performance. What really stood out was how the coaches took the time to understand each of the girls’ individual needs and goals. The sessions were dynamic, engaging, and pitched just right – keeping them motivated and always eager to return. It’s been amazing to watch their progression, not only in speed and agility, but also in posture, balance, and coordination. As a dad, seeing their smiles after each session and hearing them talk excitedly about what they’d learned was worth every minute. Their improved technique has even had a knock-on effect in other sports and activities. A huge thank you to Nick and everyone at The Running School Birmingham – you’ve not only helped Xanthe and Connie become better runners, but you’ve also inspired a real love of movement and self-improvement in them. I’d highly recommend The Running School to any parent looking to give their child the best start in sport and fitness!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience, the boys have loved attending the sessions. Great advice and my boys have improved their running technique.

Fantastic experience: Really professional everyone there knows there stuff which puts you at ease right away and you know it’s going to be worth it. Thank you guys

Fantastic experience: I enrolled my son in a running technique course at the Running School and we were really pleased with the improvement in his technique in such a short space of time. The coaches are all great with my son and make the sessions fun while still ensuring that they make the necessary adjustments to improve his movement and running technique.

Fantastic experience: We enrolled our 13 year old on a running technique course for kids and have been amazed at the improvement in only 6 weeks. His technique, balance and speed have improved dramatically and the before and after videos really show the difference. He has also LOVED attending too! All the staff have been great, but particularly Nathaniel whose patience, manner and banter with him has been superb - a real credit to the team. If you're considering signing up, don't hesitate as it's well worth it.

Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend the Running School enough. Nick and Nathaniel were really insightful and developed alterations to my running technique and strength training to support a far better form. They’ve made a massive difference to my experience of running and I’ve already picked up a 5k PB within 6 weeks of my first session.

Fantastic experience: I recently attended The Running School with my partner for a biomechanical analysis as we prepare for a marathon in April. After our initial session, we continued with five weekly follow-ups, and the experience was fantastic. Ellie and Nathaniel were incredibly supportive and made learning enjoyable. They helped us understand our running techniques through verbal coaching and video analysis, allowing us to identify areas for improvement. The homework they set us was tailored to our individual needs, and they were quick to amend the details following feedback. Overall, our time at The Running School was invaluable, and I highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their running technique. Thank you, Ellie and Nathaniel!

Fantastic experience: Helped my son improve is running technique after recovering from a broken leg. The coaches are top people and the progress he made with them was amazing.

Fantastic experience: We've taken our daughter to Nick and the team to help improve her running technique and improve her burst speed. The difference is hugely impressive, very impressed with the setup and performance gains

Fantastic experience: I took my 8 year old son to the Running School because he's struggled with his running and movement from an early age. It was affecting his confidence and his enjoyment of sport and he didn't really want to take part in a lot of activities as a result. After 6 sessions, we can all see a big difference! He's started playing football again and while he's by no means the fastest kid on the pitch, he's starting to catch up with his team mates. Ellie and Nathaniel have been brilliant with him and mange to get him working really hard in his sessions (something he won't do for me!). We've booked another block of 6 sessions to help him progress further. Overall, I can't recommend the Running School highly enough to anyone wanting to help their child run more quickly and efficiently!

Fantastic experience: So happy with the progress Daisy made after her sessions at the running school. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Running School highly enough if you are looking for truly constructive support and advice on how to change your running technique. Both Nick and Nathaniel struck the right balance of being kind and encouraging but also challenging my son in exactly the right way to improve his running technique. My son really enjoyed his sessions and I think he was a bit sad when they came to an end. I can't quite get over just how much he's improved in such a short space of time and I really wish all kids had the opportunity to experience the sessions in the way he did. Thank you so much again.

Fantastic experience: My son was struggling with inward rotation of his left foot which made it challenging for him to walk/run. In just 6 sessions he's seen a massive improvement, he now has much better control of his foot and his running technique has improved significantly. Nick has been amazing, very friendly and clearly very experienced. He made the classes enjoyable and always took the time to explain things to both me and my son. I highly recommend this place, it will not disappoint.

Fantastic experience: I booked a 6 session course including a biomechanics assessment with the running school. I suffer from reoccurring shin splints and wanted advice on how to reduce injuries whilst running. I thoroughly enjoyed my coaching sessions with Nick. They were very informative and highlighted where and how I needed to improve my technique. The sessions were fun and included a mixture of strength and function training as well work on the treadmill and running track. I can see and feel an improvement in my running. I would definitely recommend the running school if you want to improve your running.

Fantastic experience: Booked a six week course during the summer with the Running School Birmingham. As an over 60's female runner I wanted to improve my technique and learn how to reduce the risk of injuries. Nick was a knowledgeable superbly encouraging instructor offering achievable and realistic goals for me to work towards. Its a great facility with the added bonus of having an outside running track. Two weeks after finishing have run a PB at my local Parkrun (Sutton Park) breaking 30 mins there for the very first time. Couldn't be more pleased and appreciative of Nick and the team. Thank you

Fantastic experience: What a great improvement for my sons running - he had a great time working with Nick & Nathaniel - both top guys! I can't recommend this place highly enough, the improvement you make is astonishing. Well done guys and thanks for all your efforts!!

Fantastic experience: The running school helped my son improve his technique and speed in such a short space of time. I would recommend there service for others

Fantastic experience: This is our 2nd time using the running school, Nick and the team are fantastic they go into great detail when analysing my son’s running technique. The changes and improvements are nothing short of amazing. I would definitely recommend and I will certainly be using the running school again. 5 star ⭐️

Fantastic experience: Can not recommend the running school enough they have really helped siennas Running form and pace. Very professional and the training is brilliant aswel as keeping it fun. Thank you nick and Ellie for making it enjoyable and we can’t believe the difference the first 6 sessions have made.

Fantastic experience: Excellent and friendly service by Nick and the team. My son enjoyed his session and the corrections made to his running style have been significant and proven. I would highly recommend the running school to any child or adult seeking to improve their running style and speed.. Top class!!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you very much Nick and team for your help over the past 6 weeks. Would thoroughly recommend for those looking to improve your running form in a very manageable way.

Fantastic experience: So glad I signed up for the Running School Birmingham! I had six sessions, including my biomechanical analysis in the first session. In my first session, Nick and Ellie identified some issues with my running technique that was causing more pressure to be placed on my back. I had recently been recovering from sciatica and they also identified that I was compensating for my weaker leg (the one where I'd had pain from sciatica) in my technique, which was resulting in pain on my other side. Nick and Ellie's guidance and support enabled me to improve my technique, speed, glute activation,and reduce my risk of further injury. Very happy with the progress I've been able to make with their support!

Fantastic experience: Great experience for my son who is now running better and knows the areas he should focus on to build on what he has learned. Overall he enjoyed his sessions and we can see the benefits. Thanks to the coaches it was a pleasure working with you.

Fantastic experience: My sons loved his sessions here. Really helped and perfected his running technique. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience! I am really glad I went to get some help to improve my running. Ellie is fantastic! She explains everything really well and takes real interest in your goals and progression. Both Nick and Ellie make it a really welcoming place to go and learn new running skills. They are both super helpful and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: My daughter plays football and needed to improve her running speed. We couldn't believe the difference the first 6 sessions has made!! The difference is visible and her running technique has improved massively. Nick is a fabulous coach and really made Amelia feel comfortable and she loved the sessions and found them really enjoyable. She can't wait for her next block to start.

Fantastic experience: Nick and the team are brilliant. Great set up and tailored programmes which are engaging and deliver great results. My 14 year old son did the 6 week programme and he thoroughly enjoyed them and the improvement was fantastic.

Fantastic experience: My son (7yrs) really enjoys going to the running school. Technique improvement is truly made fun! and he is now also regularly breaking his own pb on the junior Parkrun, in fact, I'm a little worried that he'll be faster than me soon!

Fantastic experience: My daughter has had 6 sessions with Nick and the outcome is amazing! Highly recommend - so happy with the transformation in her running. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My daugther Lilli plays football and came here to help with her running technique and speed. Having been a little dubious initially, it was a shock to see how much she has improved with her technique. Sessions were made fun and she loves coming. Looking forward to working on sustaining her new technique and working on speed...Nick and Ellie are brilliant.

Fantastic experience: Booked 12 sessions of kids multi directional speed for my son, Zahid, who plays football. I was shocked to see how much he has improved on his running technique and speed!! Nick and Ellie did an amazing job at not only pushing him to do his best but made it fun for him also. I like how they give you an option to choose what time/day to book as I was very limited due to work. Will definitely be booking again in the near future!

Fantastic experience: Recommend 100%!

Fantastic experience: Great service from Ellie and Nick, they have changed my running so much, I thought I knew how to run, apparently not, they taught me things I didn't know I needed to know. I went in with injured knees feeling deflated not knowing if I would be able to complete the London Marathon 2024 and left with a new running technique aiming for London without any problems! So happy with the outcome! Thanks again. Sam

Fantastic experience: My daughter (13h has had 6 sessions at the running school so far and the progress we have seen has been incredible. Posture, speed, power, all in a friendly, professional and fun setting. Thank you to Nick and his amazing team. Just booked another 6 sessions to continue her journey.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Running School enough. I have loved all 6 of my sessions and I am going to miss my weekly check-in. I entered unable to better my times in running and not understanding why. Nick and Ellie have transformed my running. I can run without pain, believing I can now push my times and I am entering my third half marathon with more confidence. Their knowledge is second to none and their care is the best, they look at absolutely everything to help you improve. Thank you to you both, I can't wait to see what my running holds for me now. I will be back for more sessions!

Positive experience: It’s difficult to know what to expect from this kind of thing, I’ve been running for a few years without much success but at the same time everything is relative. I have a young kid and a busy job, I’m never likely to commit to big mileage and I saw any strength work as something for more serious runners. The analysis and subsequent tips were very easy to follow, I could see the gains from accessory strength work and understood how better body positioning, improved arm swing and higher heel lift (although initially seeming to feel less easy) led to better foot position and avoidance of over striding. I had a more forceful stride and quicker pace for same effort and heart rate. I wish I’d done it sooner.

Fantastic experience: I was relatively new to running (well just starting to take it seriously) and checked out the TRSB for help. Nick/Ellie were very welcoming and clear on how to structure a program and what aspects of my form/strength I needed to work. I've gone from a 10.30-10.50/mile pace to 9.30-9.50/mile pace.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches. Patient and encouraging. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great service really professional and really nice guys too

Fantastic experience: Our Son has just completed his 30th week with Nick and Ellie. Alfie’s technique has improved significantly, enabling him to have faster footwork, reactions and speed. This was noticeable during the game, within a few weeks. The team are great with Alfie, helping him push for new “PB’s”, improving his confidence. We would 100% recommend Nick and Ellie and can’t thank them enough. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Having been a runner for years, there was something clearly wrong with my form that was causing issues regularly. I came to the running school with an issue with my toe, which had resulted in me stopping running in the summer. We worked on my form and I was given advice on the correct way to run. It was clear my form was poor in areas and there was work to sort it. The team were fantastic in the sessions and my results have been incredible. I have now booked a half marathon in the new year and aiming to smash my PB. Keep up the great work

Fantastic experience: Friendly, honest and professional coaches. Nick and Ellie are brilliant in helping clients get the most out of their running, looking at technique, posture, injury prevention and lots more. I would highly recommend any person no matter what level or ability because you will come away brimming with confidence and new love for running….correctly.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend The Running School - their knowledge, care and attention to detail is outstanding in every aspect. The progress my daughter has achieved in such a short period of time has not only resulted in pain free running allowing her to continue playing a sport she loves at a high level but also through detailed but easy to understand explanations she now clearly understands the importance of correct techniques and how to achieve this. I don’t see these session as the end - only the start of a progressive relationship with the running school to help further develop my daughters sporting skills - thank you!

Fantastic experience: Nick and Ellie (and other colleagues) are not only knowledgeable and excellent in all that they do, but they are very down to earth and approachable. They know how to engage both my sons, who have different targets given their respective ages (15 and 8) as well as sporting needs and character traits. This is reflected in each of their development and work programmes. We have undertaken various Running School programmes in blocks of 12 to help with movement efficiency/effectiveness and strength as part of the boys football/futsal. Nick emphasises the key to progression is not only working hard in the sessions (which he reinforces in not only subtle engagement but by honest conversations, as well) but ensuring homework tasks are constantly worked on away from the sessions themselves. I highly recommend Running School services for any aspiring individual who wishes to improve movement efficiency etc to aid their individual sporting needs. Thanks Nick and colleagues- you’re excellent at what you do. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely LOVED my running sessions with Ellie snd Nick, I have learnt so much and would definitely recommend it regardless of your running level. I feel much more confident going into my marathon training and I have also signed my children up now to gor running sessions! Thank you so much and I will definitely be back to check in on my technique when I get into those longer runs! Thank you again Farah

Fantastic experience: My son had a course of training sessions to improve his technique at The Running School and they were fantastic. The improvement was significant. Both Nick and Ellie worked with him and they are very professional, knowledgeable and supportive. They take a real interest in their clients and adapt their style accordingly. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Our son attended a 6 week course and made fantastic progress in his running technique. Really pleased with the skills he was taught and the improvement has certainly helped with his football. Special thanks to Ellie who has been great.

Fantastic experience: I started to see Nick in April ahead of running in the Birmingham marathon. I have now had 6 sessions with Nick. His guidance and advice is amazing. He is not afraid to tell you what needs to improve, but delivers the information in a friendly and inspiring way. I feel much more prepared for my next half marathon. When I decide to do a full marathon, I will be returning to see Nick to seek his knowledge and guidance. Thanks once again Nick!

Fantastic experience: At the age of 50 you'd think i'd know how to run - well every day is a school day! I was amazed at how much of a difference the tuition actually made. Nick and Ellie made us feel welcome and relaxed straight away, they listened and were very encouraging all the way. Great experience and highly recommended......even if you THINK you know how to run.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely loved my classes with Nick and Ellie! I took a set ot 6 classes to analyse and improve my running technique. Not only the results were visible almost right away but also every session / class was a very nice experience. The atmosphere is very nice, kind and supportive. I definitely recommend this school, and I will take more classes myself in the preparation to any future marathons I may participate in. Thank you, Nick and Ellie

Fantastic experience: We decided to start the 6 week block session at the beginning of the summer holidays, the results from the first session to the last are amazing. Nick and Ellie make all sessions fun and interactive and there is a huge focus on the child to carry out exercises at home too. Looking back at recorded progress, from the first to last session really does show how much our son has developed and implemented what he has learnt. If you are considering the Running School, I would say it's a no brainer, Nick and Ellie know what they are doing and the results are phenomenal. Running is a life skill and I'm pleased that we found the Running School,hopefully the skills he has learnt will prevent any injury in the future. For those sitting on the fence, book the session, you will definitely not regret it

Fantastic experience: fantastic place

Fantastic experience: An absolute brilliant place to go made a world of difference to my son expensive but worth it if you are actually serious about learning the proper way to run my son was always complaining about pain when he ran and now he's complete pain free highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, such lovely people who are engaging and talented.

Fantastic experience: The guys and girls here definitely no there stuff. Nick (running coach) especially is full of first class knowledge and super passionate to get the best out of each individual After my son’s first six sessions his running technique has massively improved, so a massive thank you to all that was involved in making this happen. Look forward to working with you all more in the future, top class!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: 100% results !! Easy to book Free parking Late appointments Great feedback Nice waiting area with free tv Now to the main thing we went for.. get the correct form for our 12 year old who plays hockey , this was achieved and now we are about to start the next sessions for speed train so will review then but the school and the staff were very very good with him and knew exactly what to and how so we got the results we needed. hope this review helps anyone whos in two minds .

Fantastic experience: Nick and Ellie have been amazing at helping my 6 year old improve his running technique. The sessions are always fun and my son really looks forward to them, and the improvement has been really visible. Nick and Ellie always make him feel completely at ease and he's got so much from the last 6 weeks. They've also been great in giving us advice on what we can do at home and what to work on. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Recently finished six sessions at the running school, Nick and the team were fantastic. They were patient and explained the process (as i am a over thinker). The sessions have really assured my running and running time too! Thanks so much

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching for children.

Fantastic experience: My nine year old son attended for 6 weeks to work on his running after having a growth spurt. And it really helped, we saw a massive improvement in his running. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I am soo glad we found this place , as parents we don’t realise there are places like this to help are kids improve in running and feel more confident in running.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience ! Great staff- friendly and knowledgeable! Recommend - will definitely being going back for another course.

Fantastic experience: Booked a Biomechanical assessment with the Running School when attending the NEC running show. The assessment highlighted some technique issues which were contributing to my cycle of injuries. Signed up for a block of sessions and feel like I have made significant progress with the great help from Ellie at the Running School. Sessions are interesting, well explained and delivered, and quite challenging. I now have a few changes to my warm up routine and feel a lot more ready to run as a consequence. Hoping for a more resilient track season now.... Fingers crossed.

Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Ellie and nick for all there hard work with our son who really struggled with his running technique. The results after 6 weeks are mind blowing and couldn’t of been done without these guys, he’s now a lot more confident on and off the football pitch!!

Fantastic experience: My son was referred to Nick at The Running School by a professional football academy to make improvements with his acceleration and stride. We booked a 12 week course and the differences are amazing. Nick is very personable and a great coach. Would highly recommend. We will be back for some pre season sessions. Thanks Nick from Jacob and Becci

Fantastic experience: Nick has been great in helping our son improve his running technique massively. When you see the before & after, it really shows how much difference is made. He has a great rapport with the kids and is always approachable. We'll definitely be continuing with his services and would highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Seen some videos online and wasn't sure if this would help my 6 almost 7 year old son. But wow, what a difference it made. His running technique has improved massively. I noticed the difference during one of his football matches and this must have been 3 or 4 sessions in. Nick himself was awesome with my son. Made it fun whilst helping him improve his running. And if I was unsure about anything Nick was always willing to help. Thank you Nick, and we'll be back after the football season ends. He's actually looking forward to coming back.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, friendly and knowledgeable staff and have seen lots of improvements already in a short time. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Loved this training, the coaches are exceptional ! Professional, calm and knowledgeable. Definitely improved my technique and speed and highly recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Seasoned runner, but had an injury I couldn't shift. Nick was great, diagnosed the issue quickly and put a programme together that not only resolved the injury but also ironed out my technique. Very happy

Fantastic experience: These guys are absolutely fantastic, so patient, knowledgeable and genuinely want to help as much as they can. The improvement of my little boy has really helped with his confidence, his ability and his performance in football.. would 110% recommend their services.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for the guys at Running school who helped by boy improve his speed, technique and balance. We will be back!!!

Fantastic experience: After 6 sessions with Nick I saw such an improvement in my running technique, it was amazing to see my before and after videos side by side! I went from feeling pain in one of my knees to having no pain at all! Nick not only helped during the sessions but was available to support and answer any questions I had via phone/email as an when I needed and he gave homework of runs to do for the week, warm ups, strength exercises to do in the gym and stretches specific to my weaknesses and to help build up my strength! I really can’t recommend the running school enough!

Fantastic experience: 100% worth it can’t rate it more highly my son’s running has improved and has helped him with his confidence. Recommend this to all children thank you to the nick the coach

Fantastic experience: After being made aware of The Running School through social media, I booked a biomechanical running analysis session shortly after completing my first marathon in London, having being a fairly regular recreational runner for a few years. With the Barcelona marathon booked for spring 2023, I wanted to see what improvements could be made to my form to try and achieve my goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon. The analysis session was eye-opening! Nick highlighted the flaws in my form (which seem obvious now, but are difficult to tell when you're a lone runner with no previous coaching), but was able to advise on beginning to rectify some of these immediately. I was then keen to continue with making improvements as quickly as possible before my marathon training block began, so upgraded to the running technique coaching course for a further 5 hours of sessions. Over the following weeks, Nick and Ellie worked with me to continue to improve my technique, whilst trying to revert from slipping in to old habits. A big emphasis of the sessions is on strength and conditioning work, for which the coaches are great at giving you simple but practical exercises that can be followed at home or in the gym, without it feeling overwhelming or boring. Overall, I'm delighted with the progress I've made so far and would reccomend it as a worthwhile investment to runners of any age or ability. To date, I'm running quicker and injury free as my training plan for Barcelona progresses. Thanks Nick and Ellie and I'll definitely be back in 2023.

Fantastic experience: After being recommended from a friend we gave a chance, at first I was slightly apprehensive due to the way my Son runs and over the past 3 years has been various physio/chiropractors both NHS and private to get the the bottom of why he runs the way he does, being told lots of different things which never improved the situation. This is why I can not recommend The Running School enough, in 6 short weeks there has been a MASSIVE improvement in my sons running in fact in 6 weeks more improvement has been made than what couldn’t be achieved in 3 years from medical professionals. Nick and his team have been brilliant, been very informative but above all keeps a very positive and fun atmosphere for the children! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to see what the next 6 weeks bring!

Fantastic experience: Great, excellent service

Fantastic experience: I was suffering from achilles and knee pain as a result of over training, but getting a detailed biomechanical video analysis of my running technique showed me how I could work on that to help. A few sessions in and I was pain free, plus enjoying running more than ever before. Can’t recommend the running school highly enough!

Fantastic experience: We have had a great experience with Nick at the running school. My very shy 6 year old has had her confidence boosted and progressed tremendously in the last 6 weeks. Nick is great with children and I can highly recommend the running school. I can’t wait to see how much more We can develop our daughter by sending her there.

Fantastic experience: Excellent school. My son struggled with his running technique and always seemed to run awkwardly. I booked 6 sessions and he now glides across the football pitch. The DMS has really helped with his agility as well.

Fantastic experience: My son started with Nick to help with injury prevention…in the time he has been there he has not only improved his technique and speed but also given him confidence in his ability. In the 8 years my son has been involved in football this is by far the best thing he’s ever done to help him improve his game. Moves more freely and quickly thanks to nicks efforts !! I’d recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Nick worked with George and built an amazing rapport with him. He was excited to attend each session and to do the homework each week. The improvement in his technique is incredible, shown in his before and after videos. George is now taking this into his football. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My daughter attended a 6 week block to help with her running form on the football pitch and she has already seen an improvement in her top speed. Nick was very welcoming and the sessions were pitched perfectly for a 12 year old. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic school. Our kids enrolled on a six session course....the results were excellent. Our son is now competing for his local athletics club! Props to Nick, what an engaging coach for children!

Fantastic experience: WORTH EVERY PENNY. Such a fantastic service. Nick is fantastic at working with children. The sessions were fun and engaging and we were amazed by the before and after videos. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: couldn't recommend highly enough, completely transformed by sons running technique, amazing work

Fantastic experience: Stumbled across the Instagram page of Running school Birmingham, so glad I did. Our children aged 10, 9 and 7 loved the 6 week programme with Nick. We were all put at immediate ease and the children built an instant rapport with Nick. The improvement they all made was extremely impressive. We will definitely be booking further programmes to enhance their running. Lots of parking outside as well which is always a bonus!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend The Running School highly enough. My biomechanical analysis shed light on elements of form to be corrected (there were a few!) and over the course of the following sessions, I learnt to actually run, as opposed to the rapid shuffle I had perfected over the prior 15 years. I feel much lighter, less likely to injure myself and ready for my double marathon challenge later in the year. Nick's coaching style is extremely enabling and I found the sessions really enjoyable, as well as incredibly useful. It would be hugely beneficial for the full spectrum of runners from new starters through to experienced athletes looking to take their running to a new level.

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed my time working with the running school team in Birmingham. I’ve learnt a vast amount of them and improved my running form in ways I didn’t think was possible. Really excited to see what the future brings with them! I’ve improved my form, techniques and most importantly my speed! The homework was interested, exciting and engaging. Really enjoy doing it and will incorporate into my life! With the knowledge I’ve learnt I am now able to run more freely and frequently. Really excited to see what the future brings!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service highly recommended, Nick was able to point out issues that needed correction from the first session and showed me it all on computer over the 6 weeks he worked on theses issues to great effect. We have just booked another 6 to now put technique into practice and gain speed.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed my sessions at The Running School. I achieved my goal of improving both my sprint and 5k times. I no longer experience the niggles that I was getting on the right side of my body. Nick’s instruction was ideally suited to my level of fitness and I saw improvements each week. The homework was enjoyable and manageable. I have more confidence in my ability and am excited about what I can achieve in the future.

Fantastic experience: Superb sessions. Nick was great with Louis and an excellent coach
