If you're here because you're passionate about running, then we're already running friends! Hi, I'm coach Riaz Hossenbux, your personal online running coach! I'm a qualified UK Athletics running coach.
My running journey began in 2000 when I signed up for that big bucket list event, the London Marathon. Without any running know-how I began training, aiming for a sub 4 hour time, but with every injury along the way, training didn't go to plan. However, I managed to drag myself round the streets of London and was gripped by the buzz of running.
Little did I know that 22 years later I'd still be running, let alone having also recently achieved a sub 3.40 marathon, sub 44 10k, sub 20 5k and a sub 6 minute mile all at the age of 45 plus! (younger and faster club running times not included)
Although I enjoy keeping myself fit through running, my passion and expertise is now very much geared towards coaching runners to meet their goals. I wanted to get into coaching to pass on my expertise and to support runners with their personal running goals. I pride myself on providing varied high quality training sessions that will take your running to the next level, coupled with a down-to-earth coach and athlete relationship. As a UKA qualified coach, I understand the importance of strength and neuromuscular conditioning, so I will build this into your schedule to suit your level. All coaching is online, so I can provide you with full support regardless of where you live. I currently coach runners of all levels, those that are starting on their running journey and trying to reach a target distance to seasoned runners attempting to break the sub 3hr marathon time.
Why get a running coach?
Generic online plans are limited. They don't take into account how you are feeling day to day, they don't adapt to your current or improving fitness level and they certainly don't provide you with any feedback, motivation or support.
As your coach I won't leave you with a plan to just get on with, but will be keeping in regular contact to enable a flexible approach to training. Maybe you've had a tough week at work, or your sleep patterns have been irregular, or family commitments are taking a strain, or you have picked up a niggling injury. I will be able to adapt your training on a weekly basis whilst more importantly being there for you as a source of encouragement and guidance.
Sometimes your training may need reigning in a little and other times you may need a push to get those running trainers on and tick another session off. As a coach, my job is to help you find that balance so you can train consistently and make progress for the long term. Strength training will also be a key part of your schedule. So we will build this in to help you become a stronger runner. As a runner, having someone to call upon for advice, to motivate you or simply to share the fact that you've just come back from a great run is part of the process. I'll be with you every step of the way!
Planning and setting up your runs on your smart watch can be time consuming during your busy week. My job is to take all the stress away, by giving you detailed plans sent straight to your sports watch so you can focus on going out there and getting the runs ticked off! No more struggling to set up intervals before a run.
Places are limited as I will be coaching only a small team of runners so that I can be totally committed to your running fitness journey. So whether you are new to running or an avid runner ready to smash a PB, then get in touch and join Team Flowrunners.
