One of many reviews from our athletes throughout the site

Momentum Sports' online coaching facility has helped me over many years, even though I am an experienced athlete, as I am now in my fifties and have suffered many injuries in the past. Richard's support and guidance have been vital especially when dealing with niggles or injuries. The objective advice has helped me to target the right intensity in training and ensure that I take enough rest. The ability to message Richard when necessary, in addition to the online training plan, keeps the service personal and it is excellent value for money."

Here is an example video to demonstrate how we can help runners of all abilities. This one looks at some very simple technique for making your running technique better.

There are many more throughout the site - please look around and enjoy them. If you have any questions, just ask through any of the methods below.
