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.

"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."
Sarah Page - multiple races
"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 races
“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!“
