Well structured training schedule and coaching advice

I’ve seen a big improvement in my running since I’ve been training with THP. I’m a 73 yr old runner and was getting nowhere with my old 7 day training schedule. Kat suggested a 10 day one which worked like a dream. I’m now enjoying my running and am able to run with my friends again!

Highly informative plan and excellent advice

I bought a 16week training plan. The whole process was easy and reassuring that I’ve got a great plan in place. The information sent with the plan was very informative and I’m really looking forward to starting my training.

Consistent excellent coaching

Kat has coached me back from injury to take on a range of trail races up to 50 km. Alongside the running sessions, she plans strength and rehab work, which enable me to not only finish races but feel stronger and improve on weaker areas. She is really easy to talk too and is a great support across the board with training: from nutrition, to sessions, to race plans. Kat is an all round great coach!

Excellent coaching for the past four years

I’ve been working with Brennan from Townshend Performance for just over four years now and honestly can’t recommend him highly enough.

Over the years he’s helped me become a much stronger and more consistent runner, but also someone who actually enjoys the process of training. The training is challenging but realistic, and he’s always incredibly supportive and responsive if something needs to change.

What stands out most is how invested he is in the people he coaches. After four years, it never feels like a generic program — it feels like someone paying attention and wanting you to succeed.

My only regret is that I didn’t start training with Townshend Performance sooner.

If you’re looking for a coaching team that is knowledgeable, pays attention, and genuinely wants you to do well, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brennan and Townshend Performance.

Coaching as it should be

When I decidied to take running more seriously getting a coach seemed to be wisest thing to do and after some research I've came across Townshend Performance, after a phone call with Kat where we discussed my plans and objectives I decided to embark on an adventure together which has been going on for a few years. It was the best decision I've made regarding my running and overall fitness, with both improving massively during this period and I've been able to enjoy the outdoors a lot more and complete some amazing events successfully with some more planned ahead.
Not only I get a structured training plan according to my goals for the future but also motivation to train even when the motivation is lacking.
Kat is very good, knowledgeable, always with good advice and always available to have a chat whenever I needed.
Will definitely continue this adventure with Townshend Performance and continue to trust the process that has worked very well for me.
Can't recommend them enough.

Fabulous coaching

Firstly if you're serious about improving your ability to run you need damn good coaches. Kat and Brennan are not only elite runners themselves but absolutely fantastic coaches. Whether it's strength or endurance this team have the answer. I've been coached by Kat for approx 9mths. In this time I've gone from 50k ultras to 100k ultras to my training for 100 miler. They have systems set in place to cater for everyone's ability. They have great communication and are extremely pro-actve I would highly recommend Townsend Performance.

Mark, this genuinely means a lot - thank you.

It’s been brilliant to watch your progression over the past 9 months. Moving from 50k to 100k and now building toward a 100 miler is no small step, and the commitment you’ve shown in training has been huge. You’ve trusted the process, stayed consistent, and put the work in - that’s what makes the difference.

We’re excited to keep building with you and see what you’re capable of over the longer distances. The best is still ahead.

Appreciate you taking the time to write a review!
