I've been running since my 20s, training across distances from 5K to marathon, and spent five years working with my own running coach. That experience fundamentally shaped how I approach training: structured, progressive and individualised, with every session having a purpose.

​

Working towards faster race times taught me that performance isn't just about running more. Strength, recovery, nutrition, training load and the ability to adapt your programme all play a role.

I saw first-hand the impact of structured strength training on my own running, particularly through two weekly gym sessions alongside my running. I also learned how to adapt training around injury, using cross-training and alternative sessions to maintain fitness while protecting the body.

​This combination of performance, strength and intelligent training is what led me to qualify as a running coach and Personal Trainer.

My approach has also been shaped by becoming a mum. After having my two boys, I had to completely rethink how I trained. I couldn't follow the same plans or dedicate the same amount of time to exercise, so I learned how to make shorter, effective sessions work around family life.

That experience continues to influence how I coach clients today. Whether you're training for a race or event, or just want to become stronger and fitter, the aim is to create a clear, effective training approach that works with your life, not against it.
