Iain has competed for Team Scotland and Team UK in Backyard Ultras and currently holds the Scottish record of 51 yards. Before taking up running in his 30s he previously competed in kayak slalom, paddled some of Scotland's hardest whitewater rivers and was a BCU qualified kayaking coach. He is happiest out in the Scottish mountains and has climbed and run over 100 Munros. When he's not racing, training or spending time with family, Iain can often be found volunteering at races!
Our coaching approach at Miles Together has been developed based on the way we manage our own training, prepare for races and support each other. Here's what you can expect from us:
Bespoke training plans that are matched to your current fitness and experience, designed to be flexible and fit with your lifestyle and commitments.
Supportive, encouraging and regular feedback to get the most out of your training.
Realistic goal setting and planning ahead, whatever it is you want to achieve.
Race / event preparation advice, including kit, nutrition, pace planning and mental preparation. We specialise in Backyard Ultras and 100 mile + point-to-point races.
Over 12 years of collective experience of ultra running, you'll learn from both our failures and successes.
