ABOUT ME

I'm a run & strength coach and Runner. I run to see what my body can do but more importantly for the joy it brings. I love to run on road, trails, run far, run fast, run slow ALL of it! Im vegan and a big foodie! I love cooking and surprising people as to how delicious vegan food can be! I love being outdoors in nature with my dog, Molly, she a Patterdale who gives me the run around. I also love going on van trips and we’ve just toured the NC500 - a beautiful part of the world.

MY BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENTS

Quitting my corporate career to start my own personal training and coaching to help other people achieve their potential - it's amazing to see someone realise their strength/speed/fitness and find something they enjoy to improve their mental and physical fitness. Hitting sub 3 at Manchester this year and more importantly managing the mind to get me there. Running my first ultra, the NDW50 I had no idea if my body could run that far but do it in 9 hours and come 5th female is awesome.
