‘Never again,’ was all I could say after my very first trail run. It took me a while to free my feet from my road runners that day, as they were completely caked in mud. I had signed up for what I thought was a ‘normal’ 10km event near the town where I was based back then, in the North Yorkshire countryside… But the route I was faced with was much hillier and muddier than I could ever have imagined. That was in 2015 – it turned out to be the start of an amazing adventure.

In the years that followed, I bought several pairs of trail runners (and soon found out they made a huge difference), I discovered a whole new breed of people who run up and down hills in all types of weather, and I started to identify myself more and more with those people. There were a lot of beginner’s mistakes, but as I kept running and learning, learning and running, I began to find my place in the world of ultramarathons; I feel at home on the trails, in the mud and in the mountains. I enjoy long training days in the Alps, but somehow the Irish hills keep calling. That’s where I found my passion for nature, for running, for moving, for falling and getting up again.

I love sharing this passion with others – and one of the things I enjoy the most, is helping others find their way on their own unique adventure. This could mean that you have big goals and are ready to take the plunge into doing ultramarathons or getting more competitive, but this could also mean preparing for your first trail race; your first time getting your runners muddy, just like me.

Whatever your background is, I’m looking forward to helping you get started and to be there every step of the way as you work towards your goals, no matter how big or small. Check out my coaching page to learn more.
