about ME

HELPING OTHERS ENJOY EVERYTHING RUNNING
HAS TO OFFER.

With 25 years of competitive running experience, racing distances from 5k to 100 miles across Europe. I am currently ranked in the top 2% of runners in Britain for my 50+ age group. With performances including a half marathon time of 1.18.30 (2024) and a marathon time of 2:43:14 (2025,PB).

Driven by my passion for running, food, and travel, I created SP Tours. This offers you a chance to come and join me for running adventures around the world and share the experiences with the Sole Performance community.

Running is my passion, I became an USEAC certificated coach; to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years, to help others enjoy everything running has to offer

As a coach, I take pride in being part of my athletes’ journeys, helping them achieve their goals. While we may not all break world records, we can accomplish amazing things together. My coaching philosophy is rooted in having a balanced approach, making the most of each individual’s unique potential.

In addition to running, I am a passionate Sourdough baker and a qualified chef. I firmly believe that achieving our goals shouldn’t mean sacrificing everything. My mantra is simple: eat well, train hard, be happy.

Train with confidence
