# PB Runner - Online Running Coach
PB Runner is an online coaching service run by Coach Simon, a Level 3 England Athletics Endurance Coach based in Hastings, East Sussex. Simon specialises in creating personalised training plans for runners of all abilities who want to improve their fitness, achieve specific goals and stay injury-free.
What sets Simon apart is his relatable approach. Rather than boasting elite achievements, he openly shares his own running journey—starting at 35, initially struggling, then systematically improving his 5K time from 33 minutes to 19:28 through smarter training. This authenticity resonates with runners who feel discouraged or out of their depth, as he understands the mental and physical challenges of progressing from the back of the pack.
Simon works with runners across different ages, abilities and circumstances, establishing realistic yet challenging goals tailored to each individual. His coaching philosophy prioritises enjoyment and injury prevention, believing these foundations lead to inevitable improvement. He provides weekly session updates and detailed feedback on every single run completed by his clients.
A key differentiator is the PB Runner coaching platform—a custom-built system Simon continues to refine based on client needs. It features his proprietary training points approach, designed to create precision training plans whilst keeping runners motivated and rewarded. Additionally, Simon offers strength and conditioning sessions, technical running form analysis, race strategies and one-to-one support in Hastings.
