Intelligent Running

In 2010, running coach George Anderson clocked a 2hr 59min marathon with only two running sessions a week. How? By avoiding junk miles, hitting the weights in the gym and focusing on quality over quantity of training. If you’re interested in doing the same, check out his website.

Joel Snape

From 2008 to 2018, Joel worked for Men's Fitness, which predated, and then shared a website with, Coach. Though he spent years running the hills of Bath, he’s since ditched his trainers for a succession of Converse high-tops, since they’re better suited to his love of pulling vans, lifting cars, and hefting logs in a succession of strongman competitions.
