About
I have been running for over 25 years and competing in ultra-distances since 2011. I’ve raced 100 Milers on a variety of terrains – road, trails, mountains and even on a 400 m track. In 2020, I was introduced to Fastest Known Times (FKT). Now my training focuses on adventures where I can put on a pair of sneakers and carry all my supplies in my pack and go for a nice long solo run.
I have worked with a coach for many years and values their guidance, support, and accountability. I have learnt that an athlete must get to the start line mentally and physically healthy – not injured or burnt out. I believe communication is important in creating a training plan that balances the athletes personal/work life and allows them to be consistent in their training.
