I’m an ultra runner and ex professional athlete with 10 years experience of living, breathing and optimising my health and performance.

My recent journey involved a transition from playing professional rugby to ultra running. Quite the drastic change eh?! By applying the lessons I learned from a life of professional sport, I was able to go from never running 10km before to running a five-day, 250km ultramarathon with 10,000m of elevation in under 12 months.

It’s worth noting I had help along the way…

Even though my knowledge base included strength and conditioning, nutrition, having the right mindset to overcome adversity, to perform under pressure, discipline, consistency and so forth, I still needed help!

And so as a coach, herein lies my focus… to help you achieve whatever it is you set your mind to and to optimise your life.

Everyone is different, so this might mean adding 10kg onto your deadlift, running your first 5km, improving your sport specific conditioning or helping you complete your first ultramarathon! It’s your choice.

It’s also worth saying I’m not one to focus heavily on aesthetics to measure progress. Sure, they have their place for some, but my focus will always be on how the training, the recipes and ultimately the lifestyle makes you feel!
