Science-led coaching for trail and ultra runners of all levels.
Arrowtown Running Coach and Sports Coach with 2 years of coaching experience
I’m an experienced endurance coach and lifelong athlete with more than 25 years of racing across trail running, ultramarathons, multisport and kayaking. Having completed many 50km, 100km and 100Milers (including multiple UTMB's and TDS), I understand both the physical demands of endurance sport and the commitment required to prepare well while balancing work, family and everyday life.
My coaching is personalised rather than based on generic plans. I use lactate testing, heart-rate data, training load, athlete feedback and regular communication to establish accurate training zones and build a programme around your current ability, available time and goals.
I work with athletes preparing for their first trail event through to experienced ultrarunners targeting demanding mountain races. My focus is on developing aerobic endurance, strength, durability, pacing and confidence while keeping training sustainable and reducing unnecessary injury risk.
The right fit is an athlete who values consistency, honest communication and a long-term approach—and who wants to understand not only what they are doing, but why they are doing it.

A personalised sweat test using the HDrop wearable sweat sensor to estimate your sweat rate, sweat sodium concentration and total sodium loss during exercise.
