✨LIFE REBRAND✨ About a month and a half ago, I decided to quit my corporate/engineering career. This was an emotional decision, definitely not a practical one. Anyone who knows me, knows very well how unhealthy my work was for me - huge stress levels, an inability to fully detach, the corporate nonsense we all know too well. So, I decided enough was enough. Time to go all in on the passion - all things running and running coaching (and maybe pouring a few flat whites in between - gotta do what ya gotta do!). Now we are post wedding and minimoon (the most incredible week of our lives), this week marks week 1 of this new journey. Ticked off my couple of weekly shifts at the lovely Patina (come visit me for coffee and chat) with the rest of my work week being filled with coaching and chasing all things running related. Definitely a bit of a rogue path having just got married and beginning this next phase of our lives (i.e less cash), but sometimes the road less travelled is worth travelling and I couldn’t feel better about going down it. For my current clients, good news for you is you can expect to see even more of me and an always improving client/coach scenario. To my new clients I’m yet to meet, excited to get started with you 🤝 So, unluckily for you all, you can expect to see lots more of me around the socials… ➡️ more of my own running journey; what I’m aiming for; how I’m getting there; big picture/small picture ➡️ life bits as I struggle my way through this exciting new phase ➡️ client journey and successes ➡️ running coach tips from an above mediocre runner (me) trying to close the gap to the big dogs (Olympics 2028? no bother) ➡️ brand collaborations and community running events I LOVE THIS GAME. See you on the other side. Peace. by @bens_miles

chasing flow + rhythm. fair to say it’s been chaos on the work front since quitting the day job (sorry @kaylanic_). feels good to now have sights on settling and trying to help make some good stuff happen at @interval_running_. funny wee world so it is. DM’d @thompo12 not so long after Interval opened the doors (2024) offering up myself to help out with any community bits (was big time hating the day job). to now be helping grow this special wee place feels v cool. all eyes on shop #2 and all the summer nonsense. love it. by @bens_miles

At the weekend, 4 of our coaches (Craig, Scott, Ben, and Mark) had the pleasure of heading up north to Dundee, to the Mana5000 event, at the Regional Performance Centre, on pacing duties for 100 runners. Our coach Ben, also Community Manager at Mana, organised & hosted what was an incredible day out, one for the memory books for sure! 🙌🏼 We look forward to linking up again at our next partnership event, @thetrackstarseries in Edinburgh, on the 18th July where Mana are a head sponsor! Big summer incoming!.. taken in Dundee Regional Performance Centre for sport by @bens_miles

MANA 5000. A day celebrating community, hard work and every individual’s unique journey in this running world. All faces, all paces. Saturday was a really great day. A day I’m very proud to have brought together. Massive thanks to all those involved (you know who you all are). Some lovely snaps of the day captured by @thescottishcyclist @sherridan_snaps @rachelr23 @_my_mana @interval_running_ @nikerunning @cadence @onyourmarksrunningcoaching @dundeehawks by @bens_miles

CLASS day with team @_my_mana at @formularun_. A fun racing format on a fast 1k loop… 5k heats 1k team relay 3k final Gutted not to be spinning the legs myself as planned with this wee knee niggle (a hell of a lot better already). So good to catchup with the lovely Mana lot. A nice wee taster for MANA 5000 in 2 weeks which ai am buzzing for. Lots of prep all coming together nicely. Sign up in @_my_mana bio. peace by @bens_miles

The mara. Beginning to feel real now. Have tried to stay away from the 42.2 in fear of getting dragged in too early, feels right now - a new challenge away from the fast bits. Thankfully it’s been a v good winter training, best ever maybe. Bit of momentum lost over last few weeks but still in a great spot. Big thanks to the good peeps who have got me onto the start line of CPH mara. . 10/05/26 by @bens_miles

Always find a way… The air is thin, hills galore, nae excuses. Week and a half until a line in the sand is gained at Inverness Half. Hoping the freakish fitness gained is not all lost on this week of slopes + beers. by @bens_miles

R.A.D UFO 👽 If you’ve spent enough time around me in last few months, no doubt I’ve chewed your ear off about this shoe. Fun, huge energy, the real deal. If you’re logging lots of the ones and twos, grab them at @interval_running_ ! @rad_running by @bens_miles

Baselining 01 A session we undertake a couple of times throughout each block - a 1 mile time trial on tired legs. This helps us get an understanding of current fitness to steer training and celebrate the inevitable fitness gains from showing up week in week out. Always a night full of huge energy, camaraderie and no shortage of high fives. Love this squad. This was during week 4 of the build, next baselining will be week 10 as the team start eyeing up a MANA 5000 to conclude the spring build. More on that soon… @_my_mana @onyourmarksrunningcoaching by @bens_miles
