About Emma

I started running/competing at 12 years old and have always had some connection to the sport – even through my wild, younger years. It all began with track and field (and cross country in winter) however over the years my passion for longer distances has developed. I love having a big adventure on the trails and in the mountains.

2024 – Guinness World Record for Greatest Distance on a Treadmill in one week (female) – 846.16km
2023 – GWR for Greatest Distance on a Treadmill in 48 hours (female) – 340.36km
2022 – GWR for Fastest Crossing of NZ on foot – 20 days 17 hours

Coaching Philosophy

I've loved this sport for nearly three decades and my love grows daily. I want my clients to fall in love with ultra-running and continue for years to come. I believe training should be fun and entering races is a big adventure. We all have lots to balance in life so I work closely with clients to ensure training matches their goals and lifestyle.
