About Chris

As a 44-year-old resident of Abu Dhabi, UAE, I've had the privilege of calling this vibrant city my home for many years. With over a decade of ultra-running under my belt, I've developed a deep passion for the sport and dedicate most of my free time to training and reading up on the latest techniques and strategies to improve my performance. When I'm not working, you can find me pounding the pavement or pouring over books and articles to stay ahead of the curve.

Coaching Philosophy

As an ultra-running coach, I adopt a holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, and emotional development to nurture the well-being of each athlete. I take a personalized approach, creating customized training plans that consider each athlete's unique strengths, weaknesses, and goals. I prioritize long-term growth, gradual progress, and sustainable performance gains, while also emphasizing the importance of mental toughness and mind-body connection. I foster a supportive team environment and encourage athletes to continuously learn and adapt to new strategies and techniques. Ultimately, my coaching philosophy is centered around helping athletes find fulfillment in the sport and reach their full potential.
