“I’ve been working with Ash for over 6 months now. After not really knowing where to pitch my training after being given a place in the London Marathon I turned to AJH for guidance and coaching. This was the best decision I could have made. The stress of fitting in and devising a weekly training plan around busy/work life was getting too much.
Ash worked with me and listened to what I was really wanting to achieve from running the marathon. Nearly two month after London and I’ve completed a trail run and I’m due to complete a half marathon competition before this year is out. I would not have been able to achieve half the success I have if I hadn’t joined AJH Coaching. Ash really pushes, supports and guides you in every step you need to reach your full potential” Natalie Newman, Southampton
“I can’t recommend Ash enough, his attention to detail is second to none and he is always a phone call/text away! There are no copy and paste sessions for all here, everything I have had is always tailored to my needs/goals. I took up running at the start of last year after a 10 year break. After easing myself in again I didn’t hesitate in Ash to coach me and help me on this journey with me. Very very excited for a big year of smashing goals and PB’s under his brilliant guidance.” Martyn Bath, Norwich
“I have been with AJH Coaching for just over a year and my running has improved with obtaining personal bests over distance since January 2021. Ash is a very professional coach, very encouraging and is always there if I need any guidance or queries about my plan.
As the head coach Ash is very knowledgeable and is a very good role model within the sport himself having competed for his country. From the way he conducts himself to always being able to relate to anything that you speak about as he has gone through it himself.
AJH also has a friendly and very supportive group of runners where we can talk, share and even meet for runs and races. If anyone is looking for a running coach, regardless if they are not in your area AJH is very professional and will get you to those times or goals you are aiming for.” Leisha Wegg, Loughton
“I came to AJH Coaching after gaining a London Marathon place, which will be my biggest challenge to date. Especially after I was coming back into running after four months off with an injury.
Ash has been great, he is guiding me back to fitness with strength work and cycling while gradually building my running back up. I know that left to my own devices I’d be running silly miles by now and probably be injured.
My fitness schedule is tailored to my busy lifestyle and there is flexibility when I need it. The Final Surge app is great for allowing me to plan ahead and know what I have coming up.
Ash is great at keeping me level when I start to panic that my recovery isn’t progressing as quickly as I’d like and I’ve every confidence that he will guide me successfully through my marathon journey and beyond.” Jo Laidlaw, Annan, Scotland
“Joined AJH Coaching in February as I wanted to get out of the continued injury and improve my running times. Chatting with Ash prior, it stork me that he is extremly passionate about helping others to achieve their goals, whatever these might be. Run your first marathon, get your PB or simply enjoy running and getting fitter.
Most importantly he makes you believe. We all have limitations, mental or physical which affect our running, but if you think you can’t do better than you do at the moment, get onboard with AJH Coaching.
6 months down the line I lost weight, I am fitter than I was in my 20’s and looking forward to smashing my marathon PB in 16 weeks. It will happen because the coach says so.” Marcin Joze, Chigwell
“It turns out that in life you can pay someone who is far more knowledgable than you to spoon feed you their years of experience. When you like and trust someone, (and you couldn’t possibly not when it comes to Ash Harrell), then you can relax in complete confidence that just doing what you are told and when you are told will elicit results. ‘Results’ will be different things to different people, but for me it is about being as (relatively) fast as I can be and seeing what I’m capable of as a busy middle aged father, and thanks to Ash I’m fitter and faster than ever. There’s a myth that only ‘good’ or elite runners have coaches – but you could argue that those of us at the middle or back of the pack benefit from them far more. Don’t procrastinate any longer; get on this!” Ian Griffiths, Bishop’s Stortford
