Running Coaching
A running plan built for you, from your first 5km to a marathon, coached by someone who runs and lifts herself. Your runs and strength sessions sit in the Coach Lashara app, you check in over WhatsApp through the month, and once a month we meet live on Zoom.
£95 a month. 100% online, UK-wide.
Who This Is For
You are new to running and want a plan that starts where you are. Walk breaks are fine and expected.
You are coming back to running after a break, and want to build back up at a sensible pace.
You have a race in mind: a first 10km, a half marathon or a full marathon.
You keep starting and stopping. A few good weeks, then life gets busy and the running is the first thing to go.
You want the strength side covered too, and you are not sure what a runner should actually do in the gym.
If that's you, let's go.
Plans By Distance
Every plan is built around your goal, your diary and how your runs are actually going. Here is what changes as the distance grows. There are no promised finish times, just a plan that builds at a pace you can keep.
Building the habit and your time on your feet. Plans usually start with walk and run intervals, and the running stretches grow week by week.
Your runs get a little longer and a little more varied, with one run each week that builds gradually. Strength work starts to earn its place.
The long run becomes the centre of the week and builds steadily. Most of your running stays easy, with recovery planned in so the long runs stay manageable.
A longer build shaped around your race date. The long run grows gradually, easier weeks are planned in, and you practise fuelling on the move before race day.
How It Works
No mystery and no big leap. Here is exactly how we start, and what each month looks like after that.
15 minutes, completely free. We talk about your running so far, your goal and the shape of your week. No pressure either way.
Your running plan, built for you, sits in the Coach Lashara app with your strength sessions. Tap a run to log how it went.
Message me through the month: a run that felt harder than it should, a busy week, a race you are thinking about entering.
Each month we meet one to one on Zoom to look at how your running is going and plan the month ahead.
A work trip, a cold, a busy month? The plan moves with it, and you pick up from where you are.
Your Plan, On Your Phone
Your plan lives in the Coach Lashara app, the app made for my clients. It works on any phone, with nothing to install.
Free, 15 minutes, and genuinely no pressure.
Strength For Runners
Running asks a lot of your legs, hips and core. Strength work builds the strength behind each stride, which can help you feel more solid on hills and toward the end of a long run.
Your strength sessions are planned around your running week, so they support your runs rather than leaving your legs too tired for them, and they are built for the equipment you have. I lift as well as run, and I hold a UKSCA weightlifting qualification, so this side of your plan gets the same care as the miles.
Real Clients
Safia came to coaching with one simple goal: to complete her first 5km run. We combined a personalised Couch to 5km style running programme with mindset coaching, and over the course of a few months she achieved her running goal.
Safia · Client Story
Edward started with a simple goal: completing a 0 to 5km running programme over six weeks, beginning with a walk/run approach.
After progressing through a 10km training plan, he set his sights on an even greater challenge: marathon training.
Edward · Client Story
Meet Your Coach
I'm a Level 3 personal trainer, and I love running. I run myself, and you will find me on Strava most weeks.
I lift too, which is why strength work sits alongside your runs. I've coached 300 clients over 9 years, and the approach is the same at every distance: a plan that fits the week you actually have, built up gradually, with someone in your corner while you follow it.

FAQ
No. Your plan starts where you are today. If that means walking with short bursts of running, that is where it begins, and walk breaks are fine and expected. Edward started this way, with a walk/run approach on a six-week 0 to 5km programme. If you have a health condition, or you have not exercised for a long time, speak to your GP before you start.
Yes. Plans run from a first 5km to a full marathon. A marathon plan is a longer build shaped around your race date, with the long run growing gradually, easier weeks planned in and strength work alongside. On the discovery call you can talk through how long you have before race day and what your weeks look like.
Online running coaching with Lashara is £95 a month: your plan in the Coach Lashara app, WhatsApp check-ins throughout the month and one live 1:1 session a month on Zoom. If you also want live strength sessions every week, private 1:1 coaching starts at £195 a month. The discovery call is free and takes 15 minutes.
In the Coach Lashara app, which works on any phone with nothing to install. Your runs and strength sessions are set out for you, and you tap a run to log how it went: distance, time and how it felt. When your week changes, your plan changes with it.
Live once a month, one to one on Zoom, with WhatsApp support throughout the month. Message when a run goes badly, a week falls apart or you are thinking about entering a race, instead of saving it for the next session.
Yes. Strength work is part of your programme, planned around your running week so it supports your runs. Lashara is a Level 3 personal trainer with a UKSCA weightlifting qualification, and she lifts as well as runs. If you want your strength sessions coached live each week, private 1:1 coaching starts at £195 a month.
Yes. Record your runs on your watch or on Strava as you normally would. Your plan, and the runs you log against it, live in the Coach Lashara app, and that is what your check-ins work from.
Then you miss a run. One missed run will not undo weeks of steady training. Pick up with the next run in your plan, and if a whole week goes sideways, tell Lashara on WhatsApp and the plan is adjusted around it.
One free conversation is all it takes to find out whether this is the right fit. Fifteen minutes, no pressure, and a first step sized for the week you actually have.
