I fell in love with running when I was six years old. Thirty years later, I’m still running my heart out. I've been running ultras since 2015, and coaching trail runners since 2019. Running, for me, has always been about exploring. Exploring new routes, peaks and trails, but it’s also about exploring my mental and physical limits. It doesn’t really matter if it’s a race or adventure; what I’m after is the journey and the growth that comes with each new challenge. As a coach, I try and encourage my athletes to do the same.

At Vert&Dirt Coaching, we believe in setting ambitious goals, and dreaming BIG, while simultaneously recognising that falling in love with the journey itself will ultimately yield the most gratifying outcomes. We believe consistency is where the magic happens. We also believe in teamwork, community and rooting for each other.

We merge science with our extensive running experience to help runners reach their full potential. We place a strong focus on process, ensuring every aspect of your training aligns with the demands of your goals, encompassing not only physical fitness and conditioning but also gear selection, honing mental skills, and crafting personalised nutrition and hydration strategies. To put it simply, we do in training what the race will require.
