Coaching built for
the long way round

Rains Endurance Coaching is an online endurance coaching service for runners who race in the weather rather than waiting for it to improve. It exists to give athletes the thing most training plans cannot: a coach who knows the race on your calendar, the terrain it covers and the number of hours you genuinely have each week.

The coaching is built on four pillars — an honest aerobic base, disciplined threshold work, running-specific strength, and race craft. Every block is written for a specific event rather than generated from a template, and every week is reviewed and adjusted against what you actually completed.

It is for anyone with a start line they care about, from someone building towards their first 5K or 10K, to runners chasing a half-marathon or marathon personal best, to trail and ultramarathon athletes preparing for 50K, 50 miles and beyond. Three monthly packages sit at different levels of contact — a group-supported starting point, one-to-one coaching, and premium event-specific endurance work — so the level of support can grow with the ambition.

The site, the weekly review process and the coaching itself are built and run by the same person: the founder of Rains Endurance Coaching, whose own running across road, trail and ultra distances shapes how the training is written. You deal directly with your coach — there is no assistant inbox and no call centre between you and the person writing your week.
