About Ian

I began running in 2014, completing my first marathon before quickly progressing into ultramarathons later that same year. What started as a personal challenge became a long term hobby!

Today, I’m a UESCA-certified Ultrarunning and Sports Psychology Coach, combining structured endurance training with sports psychology. Through Ink and Trails, I work with a limited number of athletes to provide high touch, personalised coaching.

Coaching Philosophy

Every runner has a unique background, lifestyle and set of ambitions. My coaching reflects that.
I use data driven analysis and sports psychology to develop both physical capacity and mental resilience. Programming is guided by Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE), allowing training to adapt to life stress, recovery and performance demands.

This is client centred, collaborative coaching, not generic template plans. My aim is to help athletes prepare you confidently for races while building long term durability and enjoyment in the sport.
