PKSRUNS
Real life. Real running. No perfect weeks.
I spent 16 years starting and stopping. Now I help busy people make running, strength and healthy habits stick, without waiting for the perfect week.
The PKS Training Club opens soon. 15 founding places at £20/month.

Easy running
80%
Of my running this year was easy, in heart rate zones 1 and 2. That’s where the fitness gets built.

The PKS Training Club
You don’t need more motivation. You need people who notice when you go MIA.
A small online club for people who want to move more, eat well and look after themselves, around real life. One focus a week, a daily log, a live Wednesday session, a strength library and a group who’ve got your back. I’m in there with you every week.
Runners, walkers and complete beginners
10 minutes a day is plenty
No contracts, cancel any time
15 founding places at £20/month, yours for as long as you stay.

Hi, I’m Paul
I’m not a natural. I just kept starting again.
I’m a dad of three, a Level 3 Personal Trainer and the host of The PKS Running Club Podcast. Here’s the short version of how I got here.
- 2007
Overweight and out of shape, I went for my first run. About a mile, nearly 20 minutes, and it nearly killed me.
- 2008–2021
Started. Stopped. Started again. New trainers, new plan, new me, every January.
- 2019
My low point. Ten runs on Strava. All year.
- 2023
Started sharing my training online to hold myself accountable. Suddenly people noticed if I didn’t show up.
- Now
250+ weeks without a break, nearly four stone lighter, and I’ve left my job to do this properly.
- Next
