About Chris


Chris Kelly
Founder and Head Coach
Hi, I’m Chris – UESCA ultramarathon coach, England Athletics running coach, leader in running fitness, and founder of RTS Coaching.
I first developed a passion for running in 2017, and since then have become keen runner from 5K to 100+ miles. Now, I’m on a mission to help other runners, from beginners to ultra-enthusiasts, perform at their absolute best and thrive.
Running has been my companion through countless miles, teaching me invaluable lessons about perseverance, determination, and the joy of crossing that finish line despite the odds sometimes being against you. My proudest achievement as a runner happens to be my worst race result – completing the Lakeland 100 despite having just 9 weeks of training after a double break to my pelvis!
My approach is all about personalised guidance and unwavering encouragement. Whether you’re aiming for a new personal best or eyeing up an ultra-marathon, I’ll be there every step of the way, cheering you on and offering the support you need to succeed.
What We Do
We understand the science behind running, but more importantly, we understand you. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or gearing up for your first ultra, we’re here to provide the personalised guidance and unwavering support you need to reach your goals.
Let’s lace up those shoes and hit the ground running together. Your journey starts here.
