I started running in 2016 to stay fit and make friends when I started a new job in a new city. I have since gone on to to compete at a sub-elite level, coming 13th at the Great North Run and earning my place on several elite start lines and the London Marathon Championship start line in 2025.

I qualified as an England Athletic's Leader in Running Fitness in May 2017 and started leading sessions for my local club, Lordshill Road Runners. Over the years, my knowledge and expertise of how to train and race has grown exponentially and in October 2025, I passed my England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness qualification. I started Nicole Frith Coaching in April 2026.

I bring performance mindset and coaching to the everyday runner. My dream is to build confidence and deliver professional coaching to people looking to take their running from slightly random and adhoc to something more structured and effective. I understand we all have real lives, and so I want to help you get the most out of the time you can commit to the sport around your work, family and other life commitments, whilst still having fun along the way.

Outside of running, I love to cook and read. I enjoy musicals and am currently teaching myself to play the keyboard. I am a friendly, supportive person who sees the best in everyone and I value close working relationships with my athletes so we can both get the best from working together.
