My Story

Qualifications:

• UESCA certified ultra-running coach

After many years as an endurance athlete with a focus on trail and ultra, I started to see how the physical and mental benefits of my training were improving all other aspects of my life. I was always trying to find what I thought would be my limits; this search led me to take on 100km, 100 mile, and even 11 day endurance events. However, along the way I began to realise that these goals were just an excuse to be on the journey and to go on big adventures. Now I want to find a way to pass this on to others. 

My background as a researcher and academic meant I dove into all the literature I could find and I became a certified trail and ultra run coach. I sharpened my understanding of biomechanics, movement, and endurance systems, and built a practice around helping people run smarter, cleaner and freer. 

There is still so much to learn about endurance sports, particularly for female athletes. Because of this, I'm constantly absorbing all that I can around the sports. I believe that running and coaching is best approached as both a science and an art. My coaching considers all aspects of training, recovery, nutrition, and life, to help you achieve your best. I want to help people find adventure, enjoyment, and empowerment through running, and to have a lot of fun along the way.
