Training for an ultra race is a huge undertaking, whether you are experienced or a first timer. Whatever race you are signed up for, with my experience and coaching, I can ensure that you are both physically and mentally prepared when you stand on that start line, excited, rather than daunted, by the challenge ahead.
I offer coaching for any type of ultra race, whether it's a 50km ultra or a 6 day stage race.
Across more than 10 years, 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.
I am a Salomon and Suunto Ambassador, mountain leader, experienced ultra runner who has completed some of the toughest races and challenges across the world, passionate trail runner and of course, a qualified coach, with experience of running trails of all kinds. I feel confident that I can help you achieve your trail running goals, whatever they might be.

"I have found that the coaching plans from Matt have allowed me to get personal bests over various distances. Brilliant how they can be tailored around your personal life and can be amended during the plan! Would always be my first contact when looking to hit my next goal."
Ben Hall - multiple marathons and ultras
“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 - Gower Ultra 50
