I offer a range of coaching options, both face to face and online. 

​If you are not sure what option works best for you, or want to chat before committing, contact me and we can discuss.

It doesn't matter what level of runner you are, whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced racer, taking on a coach can push your running to new levels. You can get all your questions answered and enjoy some structure around each week, safe in the knowledge that you are doing the right things to help you achieve YOUR goals.  

With my help, you will be completely prepared when you stand on that start line. I will ensure that every question is answered, every concern is addressed, and you will know exactly what to expect on race day. I'll develop your plan based around your life; work, family and other commitments so that it is realistic and achievable.


I have coached all ranges of abilities, from first time trail runners who have never done a race before, to podium chasing elites who are continuously pushing to get that next victory. Everyone gets the same level of support, whoever you are and whatever your goal is. No goal is too big or too small.

On all packages, there is no joining fee or binding contract.

​Let's get started, find your perfect package or coaching opportunity below.

Matt Buck

meet the coach 

I’m Matt Buck, a Salomon and Suunto Ambassador, experienced ultra runner, and qualified coach.

​As a passionate trail runner and Mountain Leader, I’ve tackled some of the toughest races and challenges around the world. I use this experience to help my clients achieve their goals. Whether you're aiming to complete your first trail race or push your limits in the mountains, I can help. Let's take your trail running to the next level!

“I would like to say a massive thank you to Matt Buck from Running Adventures for the training plan. If I can do a 50 mile event and still feel this good afterwards, then that man is clearly a genius!“
Nicola Jennings

"I worked with Matt for 6 months in the run up to the Marathon des Sables. His run coaching was superb, focusing on what I needed rather than fitting me into an off-the-shelf plan. More than that though he was always on hand with support on all related issues, particularly mindset and navigating the kit minefield! I can't recommend Running Adventures highly enough."
Paul Patterson

"Matt has been a brilliant coach! Throughout the coaching he has been patient, encouraging and developed my running - specifically my ultra running. I have taken part in a number of different events and for every one he had given me a pace plan, we've chatted on zoom beforehand (and he's never rushed me to finish the call, I have been able to go through all my questions and felt like he had time to listen and give advice). If I have had questions, I message him, and he gets back to me quickly - whatever the day or time.

Matt is experienced, hard working and also researches things specifically to the client, for me he really helped me with kit and nutrition and went above and beyond to support me.
​
I would highly recommend Matt as a running coach and take part in all the other opportunities he offers."
