A long distance runner and certified ultra running coach (USECA) and running coach, Stewart is a Scotsman living in Alberta, Canada. He enjoys the primal aspect of being out on the trails and seeing the physical and mental improvements that come with it. He was selected to be part of Team Canada for the Backyard Ultra Team World Championship in 2022 and enjoyed the camaraderie of the team format.

My coaching philosophy is based on my own training and improvement. I like to see athletes develop a strong aerobic base before progressing into faster running. Rather than relying on my past race success I like to think about coaching as a constant, evolving process that requires active listening and learning how the athlete responds to the feedback and training stimuli.

Stewart enjoys the relationship aspect of coaching, getting to know what motivates each athlete and tailoring his coaching to meet their needs. He particularly loves using data to unlock athletes full potential.
