Your Coach
University Senior Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science, specialising in exercise physiology and performance nutrition, with published research in endurance performance, training intensity distribution, and relative energy deficiency in sport (RED-S).
With over a decade of experience as a triathlon coach, I've worked with athletes across a wide range of backgrounds and abilities — from first-time marathoners to National standard endurance athletes. My coaching is grounded in real-world performance, but shaped by years of study, reflection and results.
A key focus of my coaching is supporting runners and triathletes returning from overtraining, RED-S, burnout, or long-term fatigue. I understand how easily training can become unsustainable — and how to rebuild performance through smarter, individualised programming. My approach blends structure with flexibility, and performance with wellbeing.
Alongside coaching, I am a senior lecturer in sport and exercise science and am completing a PhD focused on endurance performance. My research directly informs the training I deliver — ensuring every plan is underpinned by current evidence on adaptation, fatigue, and long-term athletic development. You're not just getting a training plan; you're getting a strategy grounded in science and experience.
My coaching philosophy is rooted in evidence, not trends. I take a long-term view of performance — prioritising sustainable progress, athlete wellbeing, and training that fits into life, not around it. Every programme I deliver is grounded in current sport science, guided by experience, and tailored to the individual. Whether an athlete is returning from overtraining or building towards a lifelong endurance goal, the focus is always on consistency, balance and lasting performance.
As an athlete, my journey has shaped the way I coach. I was a competitive club swimmer from 2007 to 2016, a triathlete and regional age-group winner between 2008 and 2019, and have since focused on long-distance running. That balance — between competing, studying, working and living a full life — remains central to how I train today, and how I coach others. I practise what I preach: sustainable, structured training that supports both performance and overall wellbeing.
