Ultra Marathon Coaching for Trail & Ultra Runners
Personalised 1-to-1 Online Coaching Built Around You
That’s me in the photo.
I coach from personal experience as well as the latest literature and science.
When you work with me, you work directly with your coach — not an algorithm, an app, or a coaching platform.
With 25+ years of running experience and extensive experience in ultra running, trail running and long-distance endurance challenges, I understand what it takes to prepare for the demands of ultra-distance racing.
Your training is built around your goals, your experience, your schedule and your life. I analyse your training, listen to your feedback and make the adjustments needed to keep you progressing.
Whether you're preparing for your first 50K, targeting a 100K or 100-mile race, chasing a personal best, or taking on an ambitious ultra-distance challenge, you'll have a coach who understands the demands of the sport and is invested in your success.

How I Use TrainingPeaks to Support Your Running Journey
When you work with me, all your training is delivered through TrainingPeaks
A premium coaching platform designed specifically for endurance athletes. Think of it as your personal running hub—simple, smart, and always with you. Learn more about my coaching philosophy on my Bio page.
Training That Fits Into Your Life
TrainingPeaks makes your running plan easy to follow, wherever you are. It works on desktop, tablet, and mobile, so your full training plan is always in your pocket. Every workout I create is sent directly to your watch—Garmin, Suunto, Coros, Apple, Wahoo, and more. In fact, TrainingPeaks syncs with more devices than any other training app, keeping your data up to date and ready to go.
When you start your run, your watch already knows the workout: intervals, intensity, and targets. You just follow along and run. You can also learn how I structure training for endurance athletes on the Blog.

You can start as soon as we schedule our initial 15-minute coaching chat. During this session, we’ll review your goals, experience, and schedule, and I’ll build your first week of training in TrainingPeaks. From there, you’ll have a clear, structured plan and ongoing support to begin training immediately.
