The run coaching service allows you access to a much more personalised approach used by elite athletes. It is ideal for those athletes with a busy lifestyle and need to maximise training time but unsure how to take the next step. Our expert coaches offer detailed planning with goal setting, structured training coupled with the online Training Peaks platform, so that accountable visibility between coach and athlete can be monitored. Regular reviews and specific targeted training sessions specific to your individual goals and needs are provided.
Many of the people who come initially for a Lactate Threshold Test take advantage of our coaching service. The improvements made by having a test is often just the first step to reaching your true potential.
Our online strength and conditioning platform, Blizard Run Club, started in May 2021 after many years of leading classes for runners alongside our roles at the clinic. During Covid-19 lockdown we carried on teaching the classes online and realised that we could help more runners access more than one class per week, tap into our knowledge on building training programs as well as have access to the latest running related research given in an understandable and actionable format.
With Blizard Run Club Online we basically do all the work for you in the background, all you have to do is turn up to the classes, follow the training programs and read the articles! You can find out further details here. We also have a closed Facebook Group, a Strava Group and twice weekly training sessions that you are welcome to join in person.
David has been lactate testing and coaching at the clinic since 2012 and conducted over 2000 tests. Prior to opening the clinic with Jenny Blizard, his now wife, physiotherapist and runner, he helped coach Jenny to achieve Great Britain International selection in 2006.
Personal Best’s
David seen here in the Frankfurt Marathon 2023, completing the race in 2:47:55 age 53. He has since gone on to run another sub 2:50 at the London Marathon in 2024.
When David is not at the clinic working you will find him running of course! He still runs daily racking up 65mile plus weeks on a regular basis. When he is not running then you will find him either in his home gym or cooking the whole extended family food and a weekly unbelievably hard general knowledge quiz.
