Hi i have over 20 years of running experience from road/trail running - obstacle course racing and ultra marathons. I use a combination of my own experiences and my coaching knowledge to help runners achieve their goals
I am a dad to my 3 year old son - i know how hard life can be training for an event whilst juggling family/work/life
Learnt to live with my asthma since childhood and i love to run trails and explore the mountains.
Notable races
The Lap - 47 Mile/2000+ metre elevation
Rasselbock Back Yard Ultra
Spartan Race Ultra + trifectas
London Marathon
Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever
No two athletes are the same which is why i create training schedules on an individual basis, I like to have a video call with potential athletes mainly to ensure i am the type of coach they can connect with, and then if we both agree i am the right coach for them weekly check ins and monthly video calls are essential to keep that connection going.
I also have a couple of sayings that i live by
Trust the Process - Sometimes an athlete struggles to understand why they are not running as fast/far as they think they should be during training. This is where i sit down an explain the methods behind the training.
Pain is Temporary, Pride is Forever - This one lives with me personally especially when in the pain cave on those Ultra Races when you question your life choices.
