Through my devotion to running, I have set- and achieved many previously-unthinkable personal running goals over the years. I began with road-running (5K, 10K, Half-Marathon [21K/13.1 Miles] and Marathon [42K/26.2 Miles]), before accidentally falling in love with trail-running when a house-move brought me closer to bushland areas. Over the years, my trail races have crept up from 10K to 100K (e.g. Ultra-Trail Australia [UTA] 100K) to 100 Miles (e.g. Unreasonable EAST 100-Miler). More recently, I rediscovered the road via Sydney Marathon & Melbourne Marathon. I'm experienced in Coaching athletes across both road- & trail disciplines, ranging in experience from complete beginners to experienced athletes with a desire to raise their game. I also prepare athletes for multi-day events such as Alp2Ocean and Cape Wrath Ultra. I find that by constantly setting myself running-related challenges, the potential for personal growth is enormous. Such learnings are transferable to other areas of life, including: Career; Family; and Ambitions. I am passionate about helping others experience this Journey:

1. choose a goal;
2. make a plan;
3. commit to- and accomplish it.
