Run With Company’s mission is to build positive relationships and improve wellbeing through running.

It supports individuals to achieve their running goals and build healthier, more connected lifestyles.  Inclusivity and community are core to this, it aims to connect runners and likeminded individuals through the power of running.

Run With Company is led by Jamie Thom. Jamie is a qualified and accredited coach, who works with individuals to help them be the best version of themselves. His own website is  https://jamiethom.co.uk/

He has coached many runners, with the aim to support building a sustainable and positive running habit and working together to achieve goals. 

He has also completed over 100 hours of professional coaching, with clients ranging from teachers, to leaders of large organisations, to career-changers. 

He has been running for twenty-five years, with PBs of 16 minutes for the 5k, 33 minutes for the 10k, 73 minutes for the half marathon. Although not a PB, he is very proud of his 2.47 in the Edinburgh Marathon in 2024, twenty years after running his first marathon at 18 (with hopefully a bit more life-experience gained as well as two young children since then!) 

Jamie worked in running shops across the UK and Australia for half a decade, before moving on to a career in education. After experiencing burn-out and struggling with his own mental-health, he has committed himself to learning how to best support others with their own wellbeing. He has authored five books, has mental health qualifications and is a volunteer with the Edinburgh charity Health-in-Mind.
