About Alex

I'm a qualified personal trainer and endurance coach who loves helping trail runners run their BIG ultra and finish strong, not destroyed. For me the goal is not just to run on trails and suffer but to run with joy and feel proud the the incredible achievement of running and finishing a BIG ultra.

Coaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is simple: performance comes from balance. Running without proper recovery and nutrition doesn’t build resilienceit breaks it down. I focus on smart training, structured rest, and fueling strategies that empower athletes to arrive at their ultra finish line strong and proud.
