Overview:
Whether you're training for a half or full marathon you're long runs are key getting you on the start line with confidence. These runs are so much easier with company and the support of a coach and experienced distance runner. Whether you're a newer runner or an experienced distance runner we can help you get those miles under your belt.
Starting in Lympstone, sessions will be a timed, returning to our base every 30 minutes to regroup, grab a drink, some fuel and an extra layer if needed. We then step out for another block of running. You choose your pace and how many blocks you run for, we proved a base, support through the run, guidance and a sense of community with a common goal.

FAQ'S
-
Walk into the Arena building, you’ll find Hannah either just inside the main door or on the edge of the running track. She’ll sign you in, introduce you to others and make you feel welcome.
Each session will start with a walk/jog warm up followed by some stretches before moving onto the main part of the session. Expect these sessions to work you hard, but within your capabilities. You will be guided, supported and motivated throughout to ensure you get the best out of your session. Got a niggle, struggling a bit during the session, no worries it can be adapted to allow you extra rest and recovery. Feeling good and wanting more? No problem either, sessions can be adapted to make sure you work harder and gain the most from it. After the main session Hannah will lead you through a cool down and some stretches.
See our ‘typical session overview for an example what maybe included in each session
Before and after each session Hannah will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about your training and fitness. This maybe include:
Injuries
Nutrition
Weight loss
Strength and conditioning work
Running form
Running goals
Race entries

Essentially whatever you feel comfortable running in, but as a guide take a look below:
A pair of trainers - these don’t have to be expensive or specifically for running, but should be comfortable for you to move in and tied so your feet don’t move inside them which may lead to blisters
Leggings, shorts or tracksuit bottoms.
Layers is key on your top half to keep you warm but not over hot. The track set up makes it easy to remove a layer and not have to carry it for the remainder of the session. We suggest a thin base layer or t shirt, long sleeve top or thin sweatshirt and a coat for the colder days
Additional items depending on the weather:
Hat
Gloves
Buff
Sunglasses
Don’t forget a water bottle!
-
Yes there is no such thing as bad weather just a bad choice of clothing. Grab some extra layers, put on your rain coat and get the session done!
However the track does become unsafe when it’s icy. If we need to cancel a session due to ice we will post a message on social media and on our website
-
Yes both are available free of charge after your session
-
Yes you take part in the sessions and push a buggy.
-
Please sign up via the website up to **** before your class
If you are unable to do this you can turn up and pay on the day.
-
Of course! If you have any medical concerns please talk to your doctor, but otherwise we would love to be with you to start your running journey
-
Yes for some it maybe a case of walking at different paces for the first few sessions and easing your body into running. Consistency is key to improvement. Join our walk to run group.
-
No need to worry, we can guide you through the session. Extra rest or recovery time can be added in if needed
-
Unless you have any medication (inhaler, epipen etc) then nothing except a water bottle, some determination and a smile on your face

Meet The Coach - Hannah Bown:
Coach Hannah - 07834 401316 / always-moving@outlook.com
I’m an experienced and passionate running coach with a degree in sport and PE and a level 3 diploma in personal training. I am also a qualified and experienced secondary school PE teacher of 20+ years. I love to race and that’s the motivation behind my training but I know that’s not everyone’s cup of tea and for some training for fitness, weight loss or just to feel good is the main motivator. Whatever your reason for getting active I would love to help you on your journey.
I completed a few 10k’s, half-marathons and full marathons in my late teens and early twenties, but I didn’t really develop a passion for running, training and racing until I moved back to Devon after university. Living on the edge of Woodbury Common and being surrounded by country lanes gives me the ideal place to train - you will often find me ‘village hopping’ during my long run or running over Woodbury Common, enjoying the amazing views as I go!!
The highlights of my running career so far include winning Rhodes marathon in 2021 and coming 3rd in Crete the following year. I have also won Dartmoor discovery (a 33 mile ultra marathon) and have had the privilege of running for England masters in both the marathon and half marathon
