I came to running later in life, so I know first-hand what it's like to start from the beginning. That experience shapes my coaching today. I understand the questions, doubts and challenges that many new runners face, and I believe everyone deserves a plan that is realistic, encouraging and built around their own journey.

For several years I've coached runners preparing for their first 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and beyond. I particularly enjoy helping runners who are new to structured training, showing them that consistent, purposeful training doesn't have to take over their lives.

My coaching philosophy is simple: train with purpose, adapt when life gets in the way, and enjoy the process. A good training plan should support your life, not compete with it, and building flexibility into your training is often the key to long-term success.

I'm a UK Athletics Endurance Event Group Coach, Coach in Running Fitness (CiRF) and Fell, Hill & Off Road Leader in Running Fitness (LiRF). I'm also a UESCA Certified Ultrarunning Coach. I've also been leading trail runs for several years, which has given me plenty of experience supporting runners at different stages of their journey.
