Matt Rimmer Running Coach

Life’s complicated, run THROUGH it!

Do you want to start running? Or push on to a new goal? Improve your PB?
I can help you with all of these challenges and more.

I have helped many people to reach their running goals.
My approach to coaching is to make the training as easy to understand and follow as possible. I achieve this by having an initial consultation with each new client to ensure I am making the plans fit the individual needs of the runner. Through mattrunning I draw upon my own experiences, both good and bad, as well as up to date training methods to get the most out of each runner.

Testimonials

'Matt is fab and sorted a half marathon plan out for my husband which led to him smashing a sub 2 hour Sheffield Half. I bought the plan and some 1-1 sessions with Matt with some clear instructions that we need to fit family life and my own running in too. Matt delivered and was supportive throughout resulting in us both being able to fit in HM training into our family and working lives and Chris storming his first Half Marathon.'

Rachel Rea

'Before working with Matt, my parkrun PB was 18:44, and now it’s 17:37; my 10k PB was 40:33, and now it’s 37:58; my Half was 1:27:02, and now it’s 1:23:13; and my Marathon PB was 3:19:52, and now it’s 3:11:09. The stats speak for themselves. Matt has transformed my running — his plans are really varied, but full of challenging sessions that have really help me to improve. He is always responsive and flexible, but he knows when to push me.

I can’t recommend Matt more highly'David Forrest

'Over 8 weeks got my 5k time back down to where it should be. His challenging and enjoyable workouts have helped me enjoy my running again.

Great coach.'Dan Murphy

'I’ve worked with Matt since December 2019 training for the Paris Marathon, and can only offer positive feedback. His approach allows flexibility to an ever changing travel diary for work, and has pushed me to a new Half Marathon PB on my Marathon journey. The training has been specific, hard but never too hard and there is a reason for every run.

Can’t wait for race day!'Matt Connell

'Always been a fan of Matt’s since he helped support me during my 5-10k transition so after a year of running I called on him again. Being a gent who works and plays hard my brief was a realistic one - I wanted to consistently complete my Parkruns in 24 minutes. After completing my 8 week plan with him, my last 5 out of 6 parkruns have been in the 24s (the unlucky one was hungover related) with PBs across all my regular parks. He’s given me the tools to really push on, with the limitations being my own lifestyle (DIET!).

Thank you Matt, you’ve really helped to unlock my inner Mo!'Steven Lewis
