Hi, I am Liz Yelling Olympian and Commonwealth Bronze medalist in the Marathon event (2.28 PB- pre shoes). I am also a level 3 UKA coach and have been coaching for over 20 years. I believe it is important to empower your athletes to teach then to understand what works for them. Many of my generic plans are watered down versions of my Olympic marathon training and it is great to support that with coaching input either by phone or email. I hope you enjoy my plans. Have fun and run!
I am a double Olympian and Commonwealth medalist, However, this does not mean I am elitist. I have helped runners of all abilities, from total 'I can't run' novices, through to PB hunters and aspiring champions achieve their own personal levels of excellence.
I was a world class marathoner but now I live the highs and lows of running through the athletes I coach. I have helped first time 5k finishers and experienced marathoners achieve more than they'd previously thought possible. My client list includes celebrities, Olympians and she coached double amputee Richard Whitehead to a World Record in the marathon (2hr42min) and a Paralympic Gold Medal in the Games of London 2012.
"My approach to coaching is to really understand the person I'm supporting". I work closely with them to develop a plan that works for their personal situation and contexts and specifically meets their goals. Together we will develop a training routine that is appropriate, progressive and motivating. I enjoy speaking to the runners I coach regularly and sharing their journey"
I am an author of the 'The Woman's Guide to Running (Hamlyn), and a regular contributor to running, health and lifestyle magazines. Liz regularly runs workshops, clinics and camps and makes presentations about coaching, training and competing. She commentated on the London 2012 Women's Olympic Games for the BBC.
