“I quite simply LOVE running! It is my absolute passion and I want to share this with others. This may be helping people take their first steps into running or working with more experienced runners on their goals. I bring my own experience as a runner gained over the last 10 years to my coaching practice. My goal is to motivate, challenge, support and inspire runners to achieve their personal goals, deliver their potential and to enjoy the sport as much as I do.”
