I am a fully qualified running coach with UK Athletics, with 10+ years experience in coaching. Coaching is my job. It is my passion and the thing I love doing most.
After spending years living and training in Kenya, I have learnt a lot of my coaching philosophies from the very best athletes and coaches in the world. I am coach at Track Tuesday Treborth, a weekly running squad, where I refine my ‘coaching eye’. I only take on a limited number of athletes 1-1, so I can always offer a superior service.
I was subjected to some barbaric training as a young athlete which left me injured and exhausted. My ambition is to become the person I wish I met when I was 19yrs old. I’m always striving to this end, so I can help others enjoy their running as much as I do now.
I am constantly reading, watching, learning and talking running (apart from when I’m being a well rounded human, obvs). I love to share the knowledge I have gained by taking on these adventures myself, and by coaching others to similar achievements along the way.
I have competed and coached in many different running scenes. From track and road, to trail, mountain and ultra. I believe this gives me quite the edge when coaching and drawing up schedules. I like to borrow across disciplines whenever I think it can help. So your training should feel fun and challenging all the time. Well, not all the time, be reasonable!
Training plans will be specifically tailored to you and your goals, no matter how big or small they are.
