50 Ultramarathons and Challenges completed

I first started running as part of my training as an amateur boxer in my twenties, when I took part in various fell races and road marathons. After that I took up Muay Thai Boxing and fought internationally, representing Scotland in the World Amateur Championships in Bangkok, Thailand in 2004.

Just over ten years ago I started running ultramarathons. I’ve now completed over fifty ultramarathons and running challenges, ranging from 5k Vertical Kilometre race, mountain races, 100mile track races, backyard ultras to the 268 mile Spine Race.

In 2022 represented England in the four nations Backyard ultra trophy. Winning the Lionsgate Backyard ultra in Wales and placing 2nd with the ‘assist’ in the English event. I also competed in the world team championships in October 2022 running on the Uk team and was England team captain for the four nations event in 2023.

No two runners are the same, everyone has a different lifestyle and commitments. I believe that ordinary people are capable of extraordinary feats, and that living an active lifestyle can transform your life. I believe that these goals can be accomplished whilst balancing family and work life, whilst also enjoying your training. By following our bespoke training plan and making the most of the time you have available you will achieve your goals.
