Running & Marathon Coaching
Running coaching should improve your performance without making fitness completely take over your life.
My approach to running and marathon coaching combines structured endurance training, strength work, recovery and realistic nutrition support to help you build fitness and confidence sustainably (without burnout, extremes, or “all-or-nothing” thinking).
Whether you are training for your first 10k, preparing for a marathon, or simply wanting to become a stronger and more consistent runner, the goal is long-term progress that supports both performance and wellbeing.
Who coaching is for
Running coaching may be a good fit for you if you are:
training for your first race
wanting a more structured running plan
returning to running after time away
preparing for a marathon
Education, not just coaching
Coaching doesn’t stop at programmes.
​
I believe people deserve to understand their bodies, their training and their nutrition, not just follow instructions blindly. That’s why education is a core part of how I work.
​
I also host the How To: Fitness podcast, where I break down common myths, explore the evidence behind popular fitness trends and have honest conversations about our health (without the hype).

Real experiences from people who’ve built sustainable progress through structured, evidence-driven coaching.
“I can't recommend Michael Ulloa enough! He was such a great trainer to work with, even on my crummiest days he'd get me laughing and being more kind to myself. I learned a tremendous amount from him over the 8 months we worked together, both about exercise and nutrition (protein!). His integrative app was easy to work with, and his take on the diet industry is next level. Count yourself lucky if you are able to work with him!; professional, patient, genuine.”

“I worked with Michael during six months and cannot recommend him enough. He provided me with so much knowledge, content and nutrition advice, always working together on my goals and setting a enjoyable variety of work outs, with regular calls every week. I would definitely work with Michael again!”
Ismael, C
"A maverick in the fitness world, Michael’s personalised approach adapts to your unique needs, pushing you to surpass limits you never knew existed. He’s exactly what I needed at a very difficult time in my life. Infectious enthusiasm, total confidentiality and unwavering support, Michael’s knowledge transforms not just bodies, but lives. With a perfect blend of science-backed methods and intuitive understanding, he redefined what was possible for me. He’s more than a trainer and I cannot recommend him enough."
