LACE UP TURN UP
My mission is to offer support and motivate people into working towards their own personal targets. Whether you are looking at starting your own journey and you're not sure where to begin or maybe a more experienced runner looking to perform at the next level, my tailor-made programs can set you off in the right direction.
​
From the road to the trails, 5km to ultras and whether you are a newbie or a more experienced runner all coaching will be individualised to you the athlete.
Running can play such a big part in helping people become not just physically fit BUT mentally healthy as well. I can either help you start on the right track as you begin your running journey, or I can also help those that have hit a wall with their training and are looking for some expert structure and support to be applied to their plan.
Through 1-2-1 and online coaching I can help run down those running milestones that have evaded you for some time.

I'm a running addict and have completed 7 ultra-marathons including the Lakeland 50, I've also completed a number of marathons (with Windermere being my favourite) and a few half marathons. I don't just run either I love my strength and conditioning workouts, throwing a kettlebell and sandbag about (so much fun), I also love getting out on my road bike. I love to take photos, I'm no proffessional but wherever my feet or wheels take me I like to capture the moment........
