About Me

Why should you listen to me?

Well for starters I am a qualified running coach (see below) but have also spent the last 10 years researching and experimenting to find out what works, at least for me.

My Qualifications

LiRF and CiRF qualifications from England Athletics

My Life Experience - Visit this page for some background on my journey into running from someone who weighed 20 stone and used a walking stick for a crippling foot condition, if I can do it anyone can!

My Library - A list of books related to running or my running philosophy that I own and use.
