Training Theory & Coaching
Today
Or maybe tomorrow
When dusk turns to dawn
And morning turns to sorrow.
You left me here
Out in the cold
Now I am not warm,
Bright or bold.
I am done! Finished! A downright mess
Our relationship took time
But did not pass the test.
It’s as though
You laughed!
When you tore my heart
I painted a picture
A fruit bowl
Of art
And now I move on
Can you give me a minute?
A poem not a song,
Love is never infinite.

I work with runners of all abilities, helping them take their potential to the next level, while enjoying their time on the trails (or roads!) in the process.
I come from a decade of coaching experience, and two decades of running experience at the high-end of the sport. I’m a part-time professional trail runner for XACT Nutrition, competing in the top 1% globally.
I work with athletes to help them put the entire puzzle together, from nutrition to injury prevention to training and racing, whilst building a plan that fits their schedule and life demands.
This includes…
✅ An adaptive training plan based on what actually happens in your life and your specific needs.
✅ Feedback and open dialogue on every single training run and race.
✅ All-in-one strength, mobility and run coaching.
✅ Expert insights and advice into nutrition, recovery, and racing, for all levels.
I currently have space for road, trail and ultra runners working toward their goals — whether you’re a busy mom, a part-time professional, or brand new to the sport. Contact me today to get started!
