My training approach...
My approach to training is similar to how I approach all types of running.
If I am heading out on a long trail run or chasing a marathon PB, I want to enjoy the run and keep things simple.
That said, I also understand that you will see big improvements by being specific and having a plan.
Variety will make you run more consistently. And as the old saying goes...
Consistency is key!
Finding a balance between all of this will make you a stronger, more well-rounded runner.

Runners I've coached
Suebpong (Thai):
'Chris always talks about running with joy. Whilst training with him, my speed and endurance have improved.
He is determined to see improvements, but also be cautious about avoiding potential injury from overdoing it.
It’s been a long while since I last actually ran. With his training, it has brought back the feeling of the joy of running. It’s the joy that makes me want to run and run better.'
CAN HTOO AUNG (Burmese):
'Chris is an outstanding coach who possesses a unique blend of expertise, patience, and enthusiasm.
The personalized training plans have helped me improve my endurance and overall performance.
His passion for running is contagious, and he has inspired me to push beyond my limits.'
Kavin Khanijou (Thai) :
'In February 2025, I had just overcome an injury and was attempting a half marathon.
Mr. Russell helped me set a specific goal for the race, discussing overall fitness, temperature, topography, and nutrition.
He offered to be my pacer, and throughout the race kept me motivated and maintained a positive outlook.
I finished the race with a personal best—over 40 minutes faster than my previous time at the same distance.'
