Mum of 3 ranging from 19years to 2 years. I specialized in postnatal return to running to complete my MSc after my son was born. I have successfully coached athletes from couch to 5km up to World Championship level.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to achieve their true potential and I am passionate about removing barriers that can prevent this from happening.
My coaching philosophy is very holistic, but science based. I believe that we cannot perform at our best unless we consider all the factors that impact upon training and race performance.
I work with athletes to devise a program that works around their individual needs and restraints such as work and family.
I help athletes to understand their nutrition, manage minor injuries such as preventing blisters, and consider what the most suitable kit will be for an event.
I am happy to meet athletes for training runs and will crew at races when possible.
