I began my running journey during rehabilitation after sustaining a traumatic brain injury while serving in the Royal Marines. Following the injury, I encountered significant vestibular issues, and my balance physiotherapy initially involved walking on trails. Eventually, walking evolved into jogging, jogging into running, and before I knew it, running had become a significant part of my life. Several years down the line, I now actively compete in top-level ultra and trail races worldwide. I hold qualifications as a UESCA Ultra Running Coach and an England Athletics Leader in Running Fitness.

With years of coaching experience in endurance sports, my specialization includes ultra, trail, mountain, and road running. I have also successfully coached triathletes and individuals returning from extended breaks, inc surgeries.

While personal running experience isn't a prerequisite for successful coaching, I have diverse experience across different disciplines. I consider myself a perpetual student of the sport.

I advocate for enjoying the process and prioritizing long-term consistency in training. This involves sustainable practices that balance long-term health, consistent training, and enjoyment. Consistency is key, emphasizing smart and sometimes cautious approaches, always thinking long-term. Nutrition plays a crucial role, and I promote healthy food-body relationships, utilizing the outdoors and running for enhanced mental and physical well-being among my athletes.
