Online Running Coaching
Whether you're preparing for your first marathon, chasing a new personal best, taking on a trail race or stepping up to an ultramarathon, personalised coaching gives you the structure, progression and support to train consistently and perform at your best. Every programme is built around your fitness, experience, available time and target events.
Why Personalised Running Coaching Works
Successful running training is about more than simply accumulating miles. Personalised coaching gives you the right balance of endurance, intensity, recovery and event-specific preparation, with training that develops as your fitness improves and adapts when life gets in the way.
Training Built Around You
Your training should reflect your current fitness, running background, available time and goals. Rather than following a generic schedule, your programme is structured around you and progresses at a rate appropriate for your experience and target event.
Build Endurance Without Just Adding Miles
More mileage isn't always the answer. Long runs, easy running, threshold work and higher-intensity sessions are balanced to develop endurance and speed while managing fatigue and making the most of the training time you have available.
Prepare Specifically for Your Event
A road marathon, mountain trail race and ultramarathon place very different demands on the body. Your programme develops towards the distance, terrain, elevation and intensity of your target event, with pacing and fuelling integrated where they matter.
Adapt Training Around Real Life
Work, family, illness, travel and unexpected interruptions rarely fit neatly into a training plan. Coaching allows your programme to be adjusted when needed so you can stay consistent, manage recovery and keep progressing without trying to make up missed training.
Runners Coached by Enduraprep
From first marathons and personal bests to athletes balancing ambitious endurance goals with busy lives, Enduraprep coaching is built around the individual. Here are some experiences from athletes coached by Lawrence.
“I’ve been training for a marathon and wanted Lawrence’s help in structuring my training whilst also staying motivated — on both he has exceeded expectations. His friendly approach, energy and constant communication make his plans a joy to train with.”
— Ciaran, Marathon Runner“Lawrence has been a great coach over the past year or so as I have trained for Ironman Wales via a marathon PB too. He has planned training around life events and helped me build back up from breaks in training.”
— Rachel McDowell“During that time I have completed two marathons and two Ironman events, along with numerous shorter runs and triathlons. Lawrence has helped me to achieve PBs at each event, even with a variable shift pattern, holidays and social commitments.”
— Emma WH“Lawrence is an absolutely fantastic coach. Extremely knowledgeable, he designs and regularly reviews my training plan based on performance, plans and fatigue. My fitness and race times have come on massively since he started coaching me.”
— William Marriott
Who Online Running Coaching Is For
Enduraprep running coaching is designed for runners who want personalised guidance, structured training and expert support, whether you're building towards your first major event, chasing a personal best or preparing for a demanding trail or ultra race.
Runners Building Towards Their First Big Goal
Taking on your first half marathon, marathon or another major running challenge? Coaching gives you a clear progression from where you are now to race day, helping you build fitness and confidence without simply adding more mileage.
Runners Chasing a Personal Best
If you already have a good endurance base but want to run faster, personalised coaching targets the areas limiting your performance through the right combination of endurance, threshold work, higher-intensity training and race-specific sessions.
Trail & Ultra Runners
Longer and more technical events require more than general running fitness. Training is tailored to the distance, terrain and elevation of your target race while developing the durability, pacing and fuelling strategy needed for long days on the trail.
Busy Runners Balancing Work & Family
Your training should work around your lifestyle, not take it over. Your programme is built around the time you actually have available, prioritising the sessions that matter and adapting when other commitments get in the way.
Runners Who Want Ongoing Support
If you value regular feedback, training adjustments and having a coach to guide your decisions, personalised coaching provides the accountability and support that a static training plan cannot offer.
Coached by Lawrence Cronk
Endurance coaching built on years of coaching athletes and taking on demanding endurance challenges first-hand.
I'm Lawrence Cronk, founder and endurance coach at Enduraprep. I've spent years helping runners, triathletes and endurance athletes prepare for everything from their first marathon to ultramarathons, Ironman events and ambitious personal challenges.
My approach isn't about simply giving you more miles to run. Training needs to create the right physiological stimulus while remaining realistic enough to fit around work, family and everything else going on in your life.
That means looking at the complete picture: your training history, current fitness, available time, recovery and the specific demands of the event you're preparing for. As your fitness develops or circumstances change, your training should change with you.
