NEP Training Program
Before filling in an application form ask yourself these 3 questions...
What do you want?
How much do you want it?
How much are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want?
What does a Personalised Plan contain?
1. First I want to get to know you. What has worked previously? What do you struggle with? What does your life currently look like?
2. Your training plan is produced on an app called Final Surge which is accessible from your phone.
3. Your plan is unique to you, nothing is copied from somewhere else as your plan is unique to your genetics, strengths, weaknesses, target events, and lifestyle.
4. Alongside your training plan we run the NEP Scholar Program which is an educational course explaining the NEP training philosophy.
5. In addition to the running, we coach strength and conditioning, correct running technique, psychology & growth mindset, and every marginal gain that we can apply to make you better.
6. NEP is very in person, we run a 7 day coaching week with around 25 in person sessions a week and online Zoom strength training classes, Pub Runs, Long run sessions every Sunday, even training holidays to Portugal and France!

Biomechanical Analysis
This service is included as part of the NEP membership but for athletes not under our coaching we offer a biomechanical assessment which includes taking several videos at different speeds then producing a report which looks at key markers such as heel kick, torso position, gaze etc. We will then give you a PDF report including specific drills and S&C exercises to improve your running form. This test can be done both in person and virtual.

Junior Talent program
We have a growing interest in personalised coaching for junior athletes, it's an honour to be involved in their development. We start coaching at 12 years old and follow a similar approach to the NEP adults in the form of a personalised program, strength training classes and biomechanical analysis but we place a greater importance on long term development and education whilst at this younger age.
Strength & Conditioning Classes
Again this is included within the NEP membership but for runners not in NEP this is a great package to add alongside your running and take off the stress of not knowing what to do in the S&C department. This is what the NEP S&C package involves:
Monday night 8pm LIve on Zoom and recorded - Full Body Circuits. A 45 minute running specific class coached by Kieran Walker.
Wednesday night 7:30pm Live and recorded on Zoom - HardCORE. A 40 minute core and stability class building on the mundane traditional core training methods and making it specific to running.
Friday Yoga and Runners recovery released as a recording. This is a 30 minute session to improve your range of motion for running and keep you injury free.
Weekly heavy lifting program personalised to you with demonstration videos, sets, reps, and load guidance.
