With over a decade of being a chef, I have worked in many places as well as making my own sports nutrition and helped develop brands with nutritional products. So, I have a clear understanding of what goes into the products as well as what we should be consuming in the day to day.

Life has always been two-wheels, with 12 years of motocross and then I turned to road cycling and MTB. Having raced in both, my big cycling experience belongs to endurance riding and racing TT's. Having completed the Fred Whitton, struggle dales, a 10.5 Hour Mallorca 312 - I have a good understanding in what it takes to take on some of the toughest one day events as well as winning road bike TTs at local and regional level.

Alongside coaching myself, and helping friends with training and nutrition, I also have been involved in a 7 month long study with Bath Uni. I also started running and doing Duathlons which opened up a whole new world of training and development.

I started my coaching path in October 2023, with the enrolment in a BSc in sports, fitness and coaching with the Open University. In August 2024, I launched AK Coaching Fitness and started the process earlier than planned with Training Peaks University. In 2025, I enrolled onto a personal training course to expand the client base, but also what I can offer my cyclists and runners.
