Rediscover Your Running Potential with the Master Marathon Maximiser Foundation's Program
Are You Over 50 and Feeling Stuck in Your Running Journey?
Are you training harder but noticing that your results are stagnating or even regressing? As an older marathon or half-marathon runner, do you feel unheard and that most training plans don’t fit your needs as you age?
Age Isn't the Problem—Your Training Plan Is
While age is a factor, it isn't the sole reason for the stagnation or increase in injuries among older runners. The truth is simple and powerful:
You can’t change your age, but you can change how you train as you age
.
The Big Ignored Truth
As a coach and a runner, I’ve observed that many older endurance runners leave their potential unfulfilled because of the belief that they can’t continue to improve.
This belief is often fueled by well-meaning family and friends, societal views on aging, and the runners' own self-doubt.
.
A Simple Truth for Older Endurance Runners
It's not about what you do; it's about how you do it.
If you change how you train in just 8 weeks, you can see significant improvements. Training builds capacity; racing showcases what you've got.
So, if your results aren’t where you want them to be, it’s time to change your approach.

The Struggle with Traditional Training Plans
Many older runners find themselves confused and frustrated by generic training plans that don’t cater to their specific needs.
The advice often isn’t tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities that come with age.

Introducing the Master Marathon Maximiser Foundation's Programme
I understand your pain. As a 60-year-old coach and runner, I’ve faced the same challenges. That’s why I created the
Master Marathon Maximiser Foundation’s Programme
—a training plan specifically designed for older marathon and half-marathon runners.
Why This Programme Works
Tailored Training Plans: Customized to fit the unique needs of older runners.
Focused on Longevity: Prioritizes injury prevention and sustainable progress.
1to1 Support: Join a community of like-minded runners who understand your journey.
The Marathon Maximiser Foundations program is an 8-week program that enables marathon and half marathon runners to gain more predictable results from their marathon and half marathon training .
So that they become faster and more consistent runners.
It frees runners from the shackles of generic running plans that tend to leave runners unsure of the results they will get.
Foundations, at its core, teach runners how to navigate a training cycle correctly, running at the correct durations and intensities so that runners don't end up with their results plateauing or getting burned out.
It coaches runners to run smarter, not harder.
Marathon Maximiser Foundations program busts through running ruts and enables you to progress your running even as a older athlete.
To navigate the program, we use the Master Marathon Matrix.
How It Works
Start-Up: Onboarding Call
We begin by evaluating your running history and aspirations. This initial conversation allows us to identify and address any gaps, setting the stage for your advancement towards your running goals.
Running Program Development
Unlike one-size-fits-all plans, Marathon Maximiser Foundations tailors a program that lays the groundwork for not only successful race outcomes but also for consistent and predictable training and racing.
Through our Master Marathon Matrix, we craft a bespoke plan that follows three core steps:
Discover - Establishing the right foundations is crucial. Without them, it’s akin to building on sand. We focus on ensuring your running program has a solid base.
Develop - With a strong foundation, we introduce strategies to enhance your speed and endurance, further building upon your base.
Dominate - We then focus on developing both the physical and mental prowess needed to achieve your race day objectives, ensuring you're prepared to dominate.
Micro and Macro Communication
Adhering to the K.I.T (Keeping In Touch) principle, our coaching philosophy revolves around constant communication.
By actively listening and providing advice, we aim to unlock your full running potential. This involves:
Micro Feedback: Throughout the week, we engage in regular touchpoints via your running plan on Finalsurge or within our 1-1 WhatsApp group, offering immediate advice and support.
Macro Feedback: Weekly feedback sessions allow for a deeper dive into your progress and challenges, responded to with detailed video feedback for a more personalized coaching experience.
Plan Adjustments
We view training plans as flexible maps, not rigid directives. Recognizing that your needs and circumstances can evolve, we are committed to making necessary adjustments.
This ensures the plan remains aligned with your goals, lifestyle, and the reality of your training journey.
Testing
To achieve optimal results, we conduct regular tests to gather accurate data, guiding our strategy and adjustments.
Pre-Race Strategy Meeting
Prior to your main event, we’ll conduct a strategic Zoom meeting to finalize a race day plan that bolsters your confidence and aligns with your objectives, ensuring you approach the start line with certainty and a competitive edge.

Meet Lee.
I have run multiple and half marathons and ran 10 marathons in 10 days in 2012.As I got older, I realised I could do nothing about getting older, but I had a lot of control over how I aged as a runner.
Over the last nine years, after a chance conversation with a fellow runner in my hair salon that led me to question my beliefs about my capabilities as I navigated through my 50s and beyond, I now share those discoveries and training methods in my running coaching.
The Marathon Maximiser Foundations program is my way of helping runners who wish to improve their marathon or half marathon running and want to maximise their training to get the very best from themselves as older marathon or half marathon runners.
Lee, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of your great training advice and encouragement over the last 8 weeks foundations period. I really feel that I now have a much better understanding of how to continue improving in my training.
Your consistent focus on me running in the proper zones and building a bigger aerobic base is exactly what I needed to help me dial in my running compass.
You have excellent communication skills and I would heartily recommend your coaching to other runners looking to improve as you have added great value to me as a runner.
Paul Swicegood
Having been a runner for several years I thought I knew how to be successful, putting one foot in front of another cannot be that hard and so I had never really considered a coach.
That was until I stretched for a new goal: a London good-for-age marathon time.
I was not sure I could do this on my own, and so I took the plunge and began working with Lee.
Running most of my runs slower was strange, and the hard runs were challenging, but I soon began to see the real benefits of a structured programme designed specifically for me and my improvement.
15 months later and I smashed the London GFA time by over 20 minutes, ran London, also in a GFA time and have new PBs in 5k, 10k and half marathons.
It is clear that Lee and the other members of the online training teamwork to bring success and achievement in your running, and I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Lee as a fantastic coach and support.
