ABOUT ME
I am a dog loving ex GB road marathoner turned MUT runner (mountain, ultra, trail) with a passion for good food, good coffee and adventures. I am also the co-host of the podcast Marathon Talk, an ASICS STUDIO coach and online coach and mentor for Rushbynature.com. I've been lucky enough to travel the world with my running and meet such amazing people, representing my country at the European Championships and the Commonwealth Games was a particular highlight of my career.

MY NEXT GOALS AND PROJECTS
2023 is already starting with a bang. In just a few weeks time I will be embarking on what is said to be the UKs toughest 100 miler, The Arc of Attrition along the SW Coast path in Cornwall. Next on the agenda is running the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal with my husband. This will be my 8th time in Nepal and I am so excited to be back there after such a long break in travelling due to the pandemic.
On my return I am heading to the UTMB Ultra Trail Snowdonia 55k to hopefully get my UTMB Stone!
