Coaching philosophy:

• Individualised training prescription
• Progressive approach (building good running fundamentals before progressing to more complex running elements)
• High focus on running technique
• Good balance of training and recovery
• Polarised training (finding the right balance for you between hard and easy training sessions)
• Tight training load monitoring to avoid overtraining and stimulate adaptations
• Evidence-based training approach

Runner
My career as a runner started on the track during my college years as a medical student. From there it was a natural progression to road running: from 5K to marathon distance. My first foray into trail running was in 2008, and have since competed in ultra-distance trail and skyrunning races throughout Europe and Australasia.

Personal Bests: Marathon 2:32; 10K: 32’
