About Ian

My journey began in 2014, starting with my first marathon and quickly diving into ultramarathons later in the same year! Running has transformed my life for the better. I blend my love for trail running with coaching to help athletes reach their goals. I’m inspired by personal growth, adventure, and tattoos, which reflect my milestones. I offer personalised coaching to help runners from all backgrounds achieve their goals and grow, both physically and mentally.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is built on the belief that every runner has a unique story and potential. My holistic approach, focusses on exploration, perseverance, and self-expression. I believe in the power of flexibility, using Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) to guide athletes instead of rigid pace or distance. I take a client centered approach, offering ongoing support, tailored training plans, and race-day strategies that adapt to individual needs. Regardless if you're new to ultra running or an experienced athlete, my goal is to help you push boundaries, stay injury free, and build a supportive community along the way.
