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.
What can I help you with?
Training your legs is only part of preparing for a long-distance race.
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.
I'm not just going to write you a training plan
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.

Choosing your challenge: finding the right race and understanding what you're taking on
Coaching options
1:1 Coaching Session £35
One hour of focused 1:1 coaching to help you prepare 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.
Online, so we can focus the whole hour on you and your goal.
Coaching on the Run £180
Six 1:1 sessions running together, combining running with coaching, conversation and accountability.
