Founder + Coach
Founder of CountryFit, ultra runner, coach and firm believer that fitness should make your life bigger, not smaller. Usually found running around the countryside, plotting the next adventure + 99% of the time with my little side kick, Crumble.
A BIT ABOUT ME..
I’ve been coaching for over 12 years, after starting out with a degree in Sports Therapy and quickly realising I was far more interested in helping people move well, get stronger and actually enjoy fitness than anything involving scales, mirrors or before and after photos.
I’ve always believed fitness should add to your life, not take over it. It should give you the confidence and freedom to say yes to more things, whether that’s running your first 5k, taking on a HYROX, hiking up a mountain, skiing, chasing your kids around or moving the furniture yourself because you’re too impatient to wait for help.
That idea eventually became CountryFit (with a lot of help from my very understanding partner & family).
I wanted to create the sort of place I’d want to train. Outdoors, no mirrors, no egos and no judgement. Somewhere you can train hard and push yourself, but also have a laugh, bring the dog and feel like you belong.
These days, when I’m not at CountryFit you’ll usually find me running somewhere unnecessarily far, signing up for another adventure or convincing myself that buying more trail shoes is completely justified.
For me, training is really quite simple. I want to keep finding out what my body is capable of and be able to say YES to as much as possible for as long as possible.
Preferably with a spaniel, pretty views, snacks and an almond Magnum somewhere along the way!
TRAIN WITH ME..
-
Prefer actually training with someone? Come and train with me at CountryFit.
Sessions can be running, strength or a bit of both, depending on what you need. We can work on everything from getting stronger and moving better to hills, running technique and preparing for a specific race.
-
For runners who want a plan, but don't need me standing next to them while they do it.
I'll programme your running + strength through Final Surge, keep an eye on how things are going and adjust things when life, work, tired legs or the occasional questionable race entry gets in the way.
From your first trail race to your next ultra.
-
Online coaching, but with the useful bits of in-person coaching thrown in too.
You'll have your running + strength programmed for you, plus sessions with me at CountryFit when we need to work on something together in person.
Strength, running technique, hills, race prep or simply making sure you're doing what I think you're doing when I write it in Final Surge 😂
Not sure which option is right for you?
