HI I'm Chris Palmer, based near Bristol, I'm a fully qualified Athletics Coach and Endurance Event Group Coach. I also have First Aid in sport and leisure, Mental Wellbeing in sport and physical activity, DBS licenced, and Safeguarding in athletics certification.

I've ran competitively for many years and run most days. My passion for coaching comes from all the help I had from so many amazing people along my running journey and the wonderful friends I've made along the way.

When I decided I wanted to give something back I began working towards a coaching qualification, but being a competitive person, I wanted to be the best coach I could be so quickly worked my way through the coaching levels hungry for more knowledge. I soon realised that as a coach you never stop learning and I feel I often get as much back from the athletes I coach as they get from me. I've been lucky to coach some amazing athletes along the way.

I currently coach at Bristol and West AC, the largest athletics club in South West England, and at the smaller Bitton Road Runners, where my club runner journey started and still continues. Coaching all levels from beginners to elite and from Middle Distance 800m and 1500m all the way up to the Marathon.

Where ever you are along your own running journey I know i can help you reach your full potential, smash all your personal bests and enjoy this wonderful sport of ours that just keeps giving back.

let's start working together today and the possibilities are endless.
