1:1 coaching for long-distance races and big running challenges
Thinking about taking on an ultra marathon or endurance challenge?
Maybe you've never run beyond a marathon and are wondering what you've signed up for. Or perhaps you've already dipped your toe into ultra running, loved the challenge, and now have your next big race in sight.
You've come to the right place.
Whatever you're aiming for, I'm here to help you prepare, make sense of what you need to do and give yourself the best chance of getting to the start line feeling ready.
Running is a real passion of mine, and I feel fortunate that it has taken me all around the globe, competing in races from 5k to 250k. I've won races and stood on the podium at many others, but what I love about long-distance running goes far beyond the results.
I love the freedom of running, discovering new trails, testing my physical and mental boundaries, and that sense of adventure and curiosity that comes with taking on a big endurance challenge.
What I really enjoy is taking on something that initially feels too big and a bit scary, and working out how to make it happen. That's what I want to bring to my coaching: my experience, my knowledge and a real enthusiasm for helping you take on your own challenge.
What can I help you with?
I'm not just going to write you a training plan
I believe good coaching is about getting to know you, understanding what motivates you and what makes you tick, then working out what you need.
We'll look at the whole picture: physical, mental and practical.
Your nutrition, gut health, fuelling, recovery and mindset all play a part; we start by getting your foundations right and building on them as your training progresses.
We'll also look at the wider picture of your health and lifestyle. Your energy, sleep, stress levels, and hormonal changes can all affect how you feel and train, and they're an essential part of the plan.
What we'll work on
-
Training: building your fitness and preparing your body for the distance
-
Fuelling: working out what to eat and drink before, during and after training and on race day
-
Gut health & nutrition: understanding your digestion and weight management
-
Recovery and wellbeing: looking at sleep, energy, lifestyle and the habits that help you recover.
-
Race preparation: picking the right kit, pacing, strategy and logistics
-
Mindset & problem-solving: preparing for the tough moments and adapting when things don't go to plan
-
Crew & support: making sure you and your crew know what to expect
-
Choosing your challenge: finding the right race and understanding what you're taking on
Coaching options
1:1 Coaching Session £45
A one-off, 60-minute online session
A good starting point if you want focused advice for your race or running challenge.
Bring me your goals, training and questions; I can advise on where to start, the demands of your particular race, training and race strategy, pacing, fuelling and nutrition, kit, logistics and mindset.
If you already have a plan, we can sense-check your training, work through your approach and give you a second pair of eyes on your race plan.
Ongoing 1:1 Ultra Coaching £160 per month
Minimum three-month commitment
This is where we work together over time, rather than trying to cover everything in a single session.
You'll have:
-
Fortnightly one-hour online coaching sessions
-
Weekly WhatsApp check-ins
-
Ongoing guidance around training, fuelling, nutrition, gut health, recovery, kit, race strategy, motivation and mindset
-
Someone to help you work through the inevitable "what have I signed up for?" moments
The three-month commitment gives us time to build your training, learn how you run and make adjustments as your training progresses, rather than just ticking off individual sessions.
The aim isn't just to get you through your next race. It's to help you understand your own body, become more confident in your decisions and develop the knowledge to take into future challenges too.
Running Sessions £180 for 6
1:1 Running Sessions
Six 1:1 sessions running together, combining running with coaching, conversation and accountability.
For runners who are more motivated when they have someone to run with, you'll get advice and encouragement as you progress, with me alongside you to keep you moving towards your goal.
Available within a 10-mile radius of Burford.
