I’m Sophie Mullins an ultra marathon runner and coach with a number of podiums and wins in trail, road and mountain races. I started running in my 20s. Deciding to chase my potential was the best thing I ever did, now I want you to reach yours and to love running as much as I do!

Coaching is my full time job (and passion), not a side hustle.

As well as an MPhil from the University of Cambridge and PhD from the University of St Andrews, I have a certificate in the Science of Exercise from the University of Colorado Boulder and a professional diploma in Strength and Conditioning from Barça Innovation Hub (part of FC Barcelona, it's a 9-month course with 18 pieces of written work, 9 tests and an invigilated final exam).

I stay up to date with the latest exercise science and we have a monthly reading group (optional!) to explore new topics together.

Ultra Potential athletes are a friendly group of like-minded runners, motivating each other and cheering everyone’s achievements, whether that’s a first ultra or a first place.

I coach from novice to international elite (one of my athletes won the European Uphill Championships this year). Everyone has their own personalised training but is in the same friendly, supportive group who share advice and celebrate each other’s achievements.
