"Since taking up running at the age of 11, I've always been a competitive athlete & enthusiastic distance runner. 
Growing up I loved playing sports and it was always my ambition to coach & work outdoors, but after graduating with a Masters from University I found myself working indoors in retail & office roles that just weren't right for me.

​

At 26, I decided to follow my calling in life & do the 2 things I was most passionate about - Running & Coaching.
I took the risk to leave a comfortable office job to set up my own full-time Running Coaching company, naming it Running Goals.

​

I’m delighted to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I love being able to be active and get to work outside in the fresh air every day. I feel so much happier, healthier and more fulfilled helping others to get into running or helping them to maximise their running potential. 

​

Over the past 7 years I have successfully worked with over 200 runners of all abilities, ages and sizes, building up an enthusiastic & dedicated client base of runners who are now equally as excited about running as myself. I am very proud to have helped so many of them achieve their lifetime goals – whether that be to take up running for the first time, set a Parkrun PB or finally run the sub 3 hour Marathon they only dreamt they were capable of! 

​

Many of our clients have since felt empowered to take up running as a hobby for life, and I'm always delighted to see how much their confidence visibly grows, often after just a few weeks with our training.

 

As a Coach, I firmly believe in educating our athletes so they understand more about running, how and why they are doing the session they are doing and how it will help their training. I try to ask engaging questions & also try to deliver snippets of information about sports psychology, sports physiology, biomechanics & training tips in small, easy to understand bitesize chunks & find this is a great approach for generating a real interest in the sport. 

​

Helping people become as enthusiastic about running as myself, empowering them to have a hobby for life and seeing their confidence grow over time (as well as helping them to new PB's!) is just the best feeling and is exactly why I set up Running Goals."
