Why choose PB Coaching?

I have been training under Iain since Nov 2019 and within three months he had me proved to me what I had been missing. A well-structured program that cut my marathon PB by 20 minutes. I felt confident that I would easily get a bronze for 2020-Comrades… Iain’s makes training exciting by keeping his weekly programs interesting and and well-structured so that I see the big picture.

I will always be so grateful I came across Iain’s Facebook page. I was in a place where running had become routine, and I was doing it more because I knew I needed to instead of because I loved it. Iain changed the game for me. He has the most amazing way of making you love things that were previously your worst (like speedwork!), and the personalized program means I can fit it in as I need to. He is always supportive (even in person on the comrades route!) and always encouraging. I know for a fact I finished comrades strong because of his training, and his “less-is-more” approach means I am strong while still recovering quickly. Best coach ever!!

One of my best decision during 2020 was to become a PB runner. Iain puts a lot of effort into designing a personalized training program to fit the needs of his athletes. Over the past seven months my running has noticeably improved and I am able to reach (and maintain) a pace I wasn't able to before. I appreciate the personal touch, the encouragement and the understanding that comes with being a PB athlete. The coach's passion for running is infectious and I would not want to be part of any other running family!

In September last year I decided to sign up for the Magoebaskloof Ultra 50km. I had never even run an official marathon distance before. Coach Iain's programs and guidance enabled me to 'easily' complete the race in a time beyond my expectations. The days when I doubted myself, he gave me the necessary emotional motivation to pull the wagon through the drift. This was just the first of many to come and with Coach Iain's guidance, and hopefully a podium position or two in the near future.

Iain has been my coach for the past 3 years and I couldn’t speak highly enough of how he has helped me improve over this time. All of my PBs were smashed during this time from 5k to Comrades. He offers personalised coaching with regular feedback end catch-ups to determine the best ways forward. He listens to your feedback and knows when to adjust the planning but also knows when to be strict (are you giving feedback or just complaining🤣).

Iain is very knowledgeable about all things running and has helped me immensely by providing a flexible program that fits into my schedule while still making sure I keep on making great progress. Even when life feels like chaos, Iain has found a way to make sure my running stays fun and exciting.

I gave up on running and cycling for a while due to the big C (covid) until I stumbled upon Iain's profile on Instagram. His passion is infectious and drives you to want to be the best you. His hands-on approach makes you feel like you are not another number. He invests in his students to get to know what motivates you to get the best results. My initial goal was to get my back to back comrades medal and coming off from zero fitness, Iain managed to get me ready in 5 months. I trusted in his process and we managed a PB dropping 1h6min off my 1st comrades. "I've learnt to trust his process."
