As a runner I have completed events from 5k right through to 200mile mountain ultras as well as 235 mile multiday gaining experience of both well supported events and those where you are required to be self sufficient. Having achieved UKA & UESCA coaching certifications along with a BSc (Hons) in Sport, Fitness and Coaching I provide a coaching experience which is informed by Science and shaped by experience allowing me to provide effective coaching which also considers the logistics of these events and additional considerations such as foot care, kit required etc.

I am very focused on considering the overall wellness of my athletes when I develop my coaching plan for an athlete. All plans are bespoke and adaptable so that I can take account of other life commitments such as work and family, I consider the impact day to day activities have not only on the ability to train but on the ability to recover so that the training is achievable, enjoyable and effective.

My main focus is on people who are attempting distances for the first time or who have consistently struggled with injuries when attempting to train and helping them to train intelligently so that they can arrive at the start line confident that they will achieve their goal.

The coach - athlete relationship is very much a team effort, I will always listen to my athletes, discuss the options and as a team we will decide on the approach that works for you. Come and join the team!
