Ed Stivala | Performance Coach – Run Coaching For All Abilities

What is Performance Coaching?
stronger, faster, further

Performance Coaching applies a scientific approach to your training, taking your running to the next level.

Your unique coaching programme will provide you with the knowledge, training, advice and inspiration to maximise your fitness, develop your technique and unlock your potential. Most importantly, it will make you confident and self sufficient.

A professional coach will analyse every detail of your performance. This data is then used to create a unique personal training plan including technical training, nutrition, strength and conditioning, event preparation and planning ensuring you are mentally and physically prepared to achieve your goal.

How to get started

Ed is just a fantastic coach! During group run coaching he was able to offer personal advice on running form as well as cater to the different abilities of the group to achieve meaningful sessions. I found his 1:1 swim coaching also very beneficial to fine tune my front crawl technique and consequently I am now swimming further and faster. A 1:1 S&C swim specific PT session has been an excellent follow-up to this. Very motivated and totally understood my goals and made them achievable!

𝔼𝕕 𝕊𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕒𝕝𝕒 ℙ𝕋 “I have been using Ed for the past couple of months, and I have enjoyed my sessions with him. This is the first time that I have learned and gained a deeper knowledge into the development and reasonings behind why I do particular gym routines/exercises. During each session, Ed has consistently encouraged me to be tenacious. He has helped me develop a training routine and advised me as well as share best practice, in order for me to gain a defined body and enhance my general fitness. Ed, I look forward to our coming sessions, and thank you so much for pushing me to work harder and to achieve some of my personal bests. Warm regards, Sabrina Rochester

Ed is a fantastic coach, he teaches good technique, builds confidence and encourages all the runners in the group whilst understanding individual needs - I highly recommend Ed to beginners and experienced runners.

Ed is a great coach. !! He created workouts to suit me - including a mix of strength and cardio exercises. Even boxing as it turned out I liked punching things (who knew ... ha ha!) as a way of stress relief it was excellent and even better as a workout. He was also accommodating on training times too with some very early starts to fit in with my busy work schedule.

Ed has been great at helping me improve my running technique, teaching me to alter my form that was previously causing reoccurring injuries. He has a great attention to detail and is always very clear with his explanations. I have really enjoyed being coached by Ed!
