Coaching Philosophy:

I love running. And as a coach, I love nothing more than helping other people learn to love running too! I enjoy working with people and helping them to set and then achieve, goals they previously only dreamt of.

I found my love of running as an adult, after managing to avoid sport for most of my childhood. After the birth of my children, I needed something that would help me get me fitter, and give me some ‘me’ time, and I quickly fell in love with running. My passion took me on a path from social running to competitive running, and then on to training as a running coach myself.

Since qualifying as a running coach, I have worked with a wide range of people from complete beginners, to improvers, to seasoned marathon runners. I coach both individuals and groups of athletes, and still regularly compete in all distances myself. I work in schools coaching children, and making sure they have a different experience to me and find their love of sport much earlier on!

Running makes everything better - I have achieved goals I previously wouldn’t have dreamt of and I am passionate about sharing that with others. I haven’t yet found anybody who I haven’t been able to help!
