Running is my passion and I really enjoy coaching runners to reach their potential. I coach runners of all abilities, whether it is running your first Parkrun, training for your first marathon or if it’s all about chasing PB’s I can help you.
I have run over 250 Parkruns and I have finished over 50 marathon and ultra marathon races up to 100 miles. I understand runners of all abilities, I finished dead last in my first ever marathon and only 30 seconds within the cut off. Since then I have coached myself to race wins and podium finishes in all distances from 5k to marathon.
Lasting results are built through patience and consistency — there are no quick fixes or shortcuts. I believe training should be an enjoyable, effective process that fits into real life.
