A bit about me...
Hi - I'm John Redding, a Scottish National level medallist in distance running and a Great Britain Age Group Triathlete, with decades of experience in running, training and helping people achieving their goals. I am also an NHS physiotherapist and qualified massage therapist.
At the age of 44, I continue to perform at a national level with personal best times over 5k through to the marathon in the last year. I have competed at the World Age Group Triathlon Championships in Abu Dhabi and in 2023 I came 4th in the European Standard Distance Triathlon Championships in Madrid and 2nd in the Scottish Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships
I'm also a level 1 Scottish Athletics Coaching Assistant and a practising HCPC registered Physiotherapist with extensive knowledge in injury advice, strength and conditioning, biomechanics and managing running and training load for consistency and injury prevention.
I have helped athletes to achieve their running goals with a supportive, comprehensive and evidence based approach to training that athletes respond well to and are able to maintain consistency over training blocks, which is key to development.
Having a physiotherapist as a coach can be invaluable when, as is often inevitable in endurance training, structured loading and volume is required to achieve your targets
My latest personal running bests:
5k 15:49 (2023);
10k 33:48 (2023);
half 1:14:33 (2023);
Marathon 2:38:11 (2022)

Amazing Support
John helped me run my first marathon and break the 4 hour barrier. His regular contact and supportive feedback gave me the confidence on the day that I could run the time that I wanted.
Finally broke 3 hours
Achieved my dream
Having run low 3 hours many times, I finally broke the 3 hour mark with John’s help. His coaching was well structured, adapted to suit my schedule and commitments and the regular feedback and adaptations to the sessions when needed meant I came into my goal race in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’ve subsequently gone on to run even faster now and can thank John for his help in achieving a lifetime goal of mine.
Supportive
Great Coach
I found John’s systematic and incredibly supportive approach to my training exactly what I needed. I have improved my running at all distances and continue to get faster. I’m excited about my continued progress.
