As an experienced coach, educator, and runner, my job is to help you get where you want to be. I have specialised in run coaching for the past 6 years, after coming from a background as a PT, a coach in various team sports (cricket, hockey, and rugby), and teacher. I love helping others to learn about their running, and to help guide their progress.
I began running as a bit of a side-quest from other sports I was into, and it gradually took over to be my main passion. Since beginning as a running coach, I have had the absolute privilege to work with a lot of amazing people. Some starting out, some highly experienced, but all with a desire to enjoy running and get the best out of themselves in the process. And it is a process; race day gets talked a out a lot, but it only makes up the final, icing-on-top portion of any training block. If the process is sound, the results will reflect that.
Aside from personal experience as a runner, I am a firm believer in using an evidence-based approach to training and racing.
My qualifications include:
- Bachelor of Science (Biology)
- Master of Science (Biology)
- Grad. Dip. Teaching (Secondary)
- Grad. Dip. Sport & Exercise Science
- World Athletics IAAF Certified Kid's Coach
- World Athletics IAAF Certified L1 (U16s) coach
- Lydiard Foundation L1 & 2 Certified Coach
- Training Peaks Essentials and Advanced Essentials certifications
- Athletics NZ Accredited Coach
These continue to be added to, and I am currently engaged in further courses with World Athletics, Training Peaks Academy, and UESCA, and stay up-to-date with scientific literature (Huuuuge nerd alert!).
Learning is fun, knowledge is power, and running is awesome!
