Looking for a running coach in Huddersfield?
Two Tone Running provides personal running coaching for road, trail, marathon and ultra goals, with local 1-to-1 sessions available within 20 miles of Huddersfield and online coaching available beyond the local area.
Why Two Tone?
Human coaching. App supported.
You don’t have to choose between the convenience of a running app and the personal judgement of a real coach. Two Tone is designed to bring both together.
The Two Tone approach
Real coach + athlete app
Your programme is built and reviewed by a coach, while the app keeps the day-to-day coaching experience simple.
- Personal plan built around your life
- Coach reviews feedback and check-ins
- Plan, progress, S&C and messages together
- Adjustments when training or life changes
A common traditional model
Email / spreadsheet coaching
Personal contact with a coach, but plans, feedback and messages can sometimes live in different places.
- Human coaching relationship
- Individual feedback
- May rely on several separate tools
The difference is the relationship.
The technology supports the coaching — it doesn’t replace the coach.

The coach side matters too
Your feedback doesn’t disappear into an algorithm.
The coach dashboard brings athlete progress, completion, check-ins, messages and items needing review into one place. That makes the app useful to the coaching relationship rather than just another training log.

How it works
Built around you, not around a template.
Good coaching starts with understanding the runner. Your training should work around your job, family, recovery, experience and the type of running you actually enjoy.
Talk through your goal1
Tell me where you are now
We look at your recent running, experience, available time and current fitness.
2
Set the target
5K, 10K, half, marathon, trail, ultra — or simply becoming a stronger, more consistent runner.
3
Train, review, adapt
Your programme evolves with your training instead of expecting you to fit around a fixed spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
Before you get started.
A few of the questions runners are most likely to have before choosing coaching, buying a one-off plan or requesting a 1-to-1 session.
Still have a question? Ask Dave →Do I need to be a fast or experienced runner?
No. Two Tone coaching can be built around where you are now, whether your aim is consistency, a first race, a PB, a marathon, trail running or an ultra. The starting point matters more than the pace on your watch.
What distances do you coach?
Coaching can cover road and trail running from shorter-distance goals through 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra-distance events. The programme is shaped around the runner and the demands of the goal rather than forcing everyone into the same template.
What is the difference between a one-off training plan and monthly coaching?
The £45 one-off plan gives you a personalised 8–12 week programme built around your goal and available training days. Monthly coaching adds an ongoing coaching relationship, reviews, feedback and programme adjustments as your training develops.
How does the Two Tone athlete app fit into coaching?
The app keeps your plan, completed-session feedback, progress, weekly check-ins, coach messages and eligible strength work together. It supports the coaching relationship rather than replacing the coach.
What happens if work, holidays, illness or a niggle disrupts my training?
That is exactly why personalised coaching can be useful. Ongoing coaching can adapt around changes in availability, recovery and training feedback rather than expecting you to follow a fixed schedule regardless of what is happening outside running.
What does the £20 one-off Strength & Conditioning plan include?
It is a standalone runner-specific S&C programme based on the information you provide about your running, experience, available equipment, training time and any injuries or niggles. It includes exercise selection, sets, reps and progression guidance.
What is the difference between the £20 one-off S&C plan and the £15/month add-on?
The £20 option is a standalone one-off programme. The £15/month option is an add-on for runners already using Run Plan or Personal Coaching who want strength work included alongside their ongoing coaching.
How does the 1-to-1 running session work?
Start by submitting the short booking request. You can tell me your postcode, preferred dates and what you want the session to focus on. I will confirm the location and time with you first. No £35 payment is taken until the session has been agreed.
Where are 1-to-1 sessions available?
The standard service area is within 20 miles of Huddersfield. If you are outside that area, you can still send a request and I can tell you whether the location is practical before anything is booked or paid for.
Do I need a GPS watch or Garmin?
No. A running watch can provide useful training data, but it is not a requirement for getting coached. Training can be guided using pace, time, distance, effort or a combination depending on what suits you.
When will my one-off plan be ready?
After payment, you complete the relevant questionnaire. Once I have the information needed to build your plan, I will confirm the expected turnaround with you. The plan is personalised rather than generated instantly from a generic template.
How do I ask something before I buy?
You can use the free coaching-chat option on the website or email dave@twotonerunning.co.uk. If you are unsure which coaching level or one-off service fits, ask first rather than guessing.
Your coach
Coaching from real running experience.
I coach runners as individuals. The goal is not to make every athlete train the same way — it is to find the approach that allows you to train consistently, develop confidence and move toward the goals that matter to you. And to keep your running enjoyable.

✓ Run Leader
