[PROMISE I DIDN’T WRITE THESE HA!]
TESTIMONIALS
S Temple - Halifax, UK
I started coaching with Mini in August 2025. It was 10 weeks before running the New York marathon.
Prior to joining team Mini Runz, I was on a generic coaching app and in all honesty I didn’t really trust what it was asking me to do. I know it wasn’t specific for me, but I really felt like it was doing me more harm than good.
I spoke to Mini on Instagram about coaching. I felt totally at ease. Having trust is a big thing for me and I needed to trust my coach with my progress and performance.
Throughout the course of the last 6 months, I’ve pB’d at half marathon [Copenhagen] and full marathon [NYC] distance. I’ve had tailored weekly coaching plans and constant support. It’s been service and support beyond which I ever expect, and I’m signed up for 2026. I couldn’t imagine training and achieving my goals now without being part of team Mini Runz.

Emini is not only a phenomenal coach, he is also a great friend, hypeman and role model in the field of running. In 2025 he helped me complete 2 of my first major marathons, London and NYC, making it possible for me to achieve what I thought at times could be impossible for myself. Alongside the training, which pushed me in more ways I can give credit for, he supported me along every step of the way, listened to all my thoughts, opinions and doubts, and turned me into a believer regardless of the outcome. Regardless of injury setbacks, recovery time and needs as a female runner, Emini addressed me with a personal level of compassion, care and optimism. Through this we’ve created memories to last a lifetime and an understanding that isn’t just about running, it’s about the journey itself and what you share with others. Emini has taught me that greatness comes from overcoming failure, stepping out of your comfort zone, consistency and a strong belief in yourself!

Ran my first marathon with Mini as my coach last year and can’t recommend him enough, in fact, I’ve already have done to many others. Throughout my whole training block with him, I felt supported and learned so much about running. Since I started working with him, I gained constant PB’s in 5k’s, 10’ks, half marathons and my first marathon! If you’re looking for a coach who will push you and get you achieving goals you didn’t think possible all while having fun too he’s the man!

After years of running on and off with zero structure, I met Mini - and since October 2024 he’s completely changed how I train for the better (and for the PBs!)
Every session is different, which keeps things fresh, and the (more than) weekly check-ins are a total game-changer. After a tough or bad session, there’s no one more positive or encouraging to speak to and he always gets me straight back on track.
The plan is fully tailored to me, which is amazing given my unpredictable work schedule and constant travel.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Mini more - knowledgeable, inspiring, and nothing but positive vibes from day one!

Being new on the running scene I was lacking structure and any sort of direction, I had chat with mini and he set up a plan with me and honestly changed everything for me in the better. Having someone there to lean on when the blocks get tough or even to shout at after a tough session (every Thursday) helps as you are on your journey.
I’m now starting my 3rd block with him and I have progressed every block I have had due to his methods and plans and guidance and honestly wouldn’t go with anyone else, once he understands your ways and how you learn he tailors everything to you. He will push you but he honestly only does it for your benefit! Best in the game!
