I’m a runner with 25 years’ experience under my (running) belt. In my twenties, I ran 3.30 in the marathon. In 2026, I ran 2.29, aged 47.
I’ve completed ultramarathons ranging from 50km to 100 miles, and can help runners tackle their own ultra challenge, whether it’s their first or 50th by training them through an ultramarathon or marathon, whether they’re a front, middle or back-of-the-pack runner.
I specialise in coaching runners aged 40+ with hectic schedules – work, family commitments, young children, dogs… all these things can derail training. I know as I've lived through it. But it doesn't have to be that way – I can show you ways to work around whatever life throws at you, from last-minute meetings to an unscheduled play date, and make your training work for you with flexible plans built around your busy life that evolve as your life evolves.
