Train. Improve. Perform.

Running.

Whether you’re wondering what comes next after your first park run, looking to achieve a personal best in a marathon, or tackle your first ultra, running doesn’t have to take over your life.

Over the past few years, I’ve completed dozens of half marathons, marathons and ultramarathons, including running 206 miles across Iceland and 400km through the Scottish Highlands. I work with all sorts of people, from couch-to-5k first-timers to sub-3hr marathon runners and 50km ultramarathon winners.

I’ll work with you to determine what level of training is suitable based on your goals, time available to train, and current fitness level. I’ll also give you a personalised strength and conditioning programme, and advice on drills, nutrition, pacing and race fueling.

Benefits.

Personalised training plans

I’ll tailor your running plan to your specific goals, fitness level, experience, strengths, weaknesses and schedule, evolving that plan over time based on your progress and the results we see during your training.

Nutrition and fueling

Good nutrition is the foundation for any great runner, so not something you want to overlook. Eating the right foods makes all the difference in performance. It's like the fuel for your car engine; the better quality fuel you put in, the more efficiently your engine runs.

Strength and conditioning

Strength training is an essential component of a well-rounded running routine. By incorporating exercises that target the major muscle groups, you can improve your overall strength, stability, and balance, which leads to improved performance and reduced risk of injury.

Form and technique

One of the biggest causes of injuries and poor performance is incorrect form and technique. Good running form and technique - based on your height, weight, body type and experience - will allow you to run more efficiently, increasing your performance whilst also reducing the risk of injury.

Accountability and motivation

Sticking to a training plan requires focus and dedication. But life has a knack of sometimes getting in the way. Once you break your routine, it can feel like you have to move mountains to get things back on track, so I’ll help keep you accountability and focus with regular check-ins and ongoing motivation, whenever you need it.

Race strategy

A carefully planned but adaptable race strategy is essential for ensuring a successful and enjoyable running experience - especially as distances increase. Route and terrain, elevation gain, aid station logistics and weather forecasts all need to be taken into consideration, as do fueling, hydration, pacing and cut-offs, to ensure you maintain speed and performance all the way to the finish line.

Mental toughness

Running, especially long-distance running, is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. I’ll help you develop mental toughness and teach you strategies to overcome psychological barriers.

Gear recommendations

The right running gear can help improve improve your running performance by providing comfort, support, safety and protection from the elements. It can also reduce the risk of injuries, and keep you cool and dry whatever the weather.
