About Me
PROFESSIONAL RUNNING COACHING
With years of experience coaching athletes from all backgrounds, I know how to get your training on track and help you reach your running goals. As a Sport Scientist, I understand the careful planning it takes for each individual to excel – not just in running itself, but in balancing training with the demands of everyday life.
I stay up to date with the latest training methods, ensuring my athletes receive the most effective, evidence-based guidance. Next Percent Training programs cater to every level – from first-time runners to competitive marathoners and ultra-marathoners – with countless athletes achieving personal bests. Some have reached major milestones such as qualifying for the Boston Marathon, while others have conquered epic challenges like the UTMB 100 miler.
I’ve personally completed four of the six World Marathon Majors – with Tokyo and New York still on my list – and I’m a sub-3-hour marathoner and experienced ultra-trail runner with multiple podium finishes.
My coaching philosophy puts the athlete first. Clear, consistent communication is key, which is why I use TrainingPeaks to deliver and track training plans. Explore the Next Percent Training coaching packages to find one that fits your goals.
I look forward to helping you take your training to the next level. Let’s get started.

What my athletes say
Training with Warren for my first marathon was great. I achieved my best case scenario goal, but most importantly, I learnt tons along the way. He was always keen to chat and advise about different topics, like nutrition, physiology, recovery, etc.
Also, I did a vacation during my training and he adjusted the plan to find the perfect balance between enjoying and maintaining fitness. He is able to quickly adjust the plan if something comes up, stress free.
Warren is an extremely dedicated & compassionate coach and has supported me throughout many different phases in my running journey. He has always made an effort to tailor my program to suite my work and family commitments and achieve my running goals. From surviving ultramarathons, balancing training and having a young family, battling addiction to finishing 2nd in a 24hour race and smashing the Tarawera 100miler, Warren has supported me through it all!
Having Warren as my coach means steady guidance and reliability. Training with him has become a grounding routine that gives me structure and a sense of purpose.
I felt really comfortable and confident with Warren’s program. Building brick by brick, week by week, not only in the approach to race, but, consistently making me a better athlete. Very happy with the marathon and half-marathon programs. Definitely recommend and will go back to pursue more goals.
Warren’s coaching took my running experience to the next level. 30+ min slashed on my PB in a marathon equivalent race, my first UT (60+ km and D+ 3700m) achieved. Effort, yes, but smartly guided thanks to NPT!
At Next Percent Training, Warren’s bespoke training plans and race-day advice have elevated my performance. His guidance has supported me to be competitive in half-marathon trails, city marathons, and one-hundred milers in the mountains.
“Since I started my NPT plan I’ve seen huge improvements in my pace, running stopped being something I did for fitness and has become something I really enjoy.”
“I never believed that running could feel comfortable or come naturally, until I began training with Warren at Next Percent Training. I enjoy the accountability and the firm but understanding nature of the training programs with NPT. I finally feel successful as a runner!”
