Our Team
We've got an amazing & supportive coaching team!
Mary McLellan
Founder Learn to Run
I love running because it allows me to de-stress and helps to keep my fitness levels high. My greatest achievement to date with regards to running is the success of our 0-5k courses, as I've been able to introduce new people who never thought of themselves as ever being able to run into this sport.
I enjoy working on Learn to Run because our courses prove that literally anyone can enter into jogging or running with success if they're supported and encouraged the right way. The fact that I work with an amazing team who really care about our clients is the greatest gift I have had professionally. Three words to describe my coaching style?

Gian Marzo
Learn to Run Coach
I love running because it makes me feel healthy. Whatever the distance is, I know that I have just achieved something to improve my health and well-being. It helps me relax, de-stress, it clears my mind and I always feel happier after a run. It's an accomplishment. By encouraging and motivating our runners, I have helped them progress and be more confident. This is a major and wonderful achievement for me and now, some of the ladies are hungry for more and are working towards progressing to running longer distances.
Learn to Run courses definitely work. I've witnessed a number of success stories where ladies have never run before but are now running continuously without the initial struggle. The three words that describe my coaching style are unpredictable, motivating and fun!

Learn to Run Coach
Running has always been a strong passion of mine coming from an Athletic background. I love the high energy feel of progress and leading groups of a varying ability helping to make a difference to individuals well being. As a coach; it is my job to help support all aspirations and ages helping others to be the best they can be.
I am a huge fan of Learn to Run because whether you have never run before, whatever the distance, whatever the speed- your run will be improved in a safe and effective way covering both practical and theory components.
My motto is “love the run, respect the distance and be proud”Celia Findlay
