Meet OLIVER

In terms of coaching, I don’t coach from a pedestal. I am not naive, I have ultras under my belt but there are people out there with hundreds under theirs. This is a work in progress and an opportunity to share my passion for running, whilst still doing exactly that. I coach from the trenches.
