About Me

My running journey began when I was five years old at my local athletics club. Over time I progressed to be a national level sprinter winning medals in the 100m & 200m at both state and national championships.

After work and family life became too busy to commit to full time sprinting, I took some time off and started running longer distances to keep fit. This pretty quickly progressed to marathons and then ultra marathons once I realised the benefits and joys of endurance running!

I now prefer to run longer trail ultras, but enjoy literally any type of running!

I also love coaching my kids sporting teams, teaching them a love for sport and continuous personal improvement.

I founded Endurance Blueprint with a clear mission: to help runners to achieve their goals! By combining the latest science and evidence based research, I can help runners of all abilities make the best use of their limited time to improve their performance and maximise their race day!

Specialties

First-time Ultra Runners

I love helping runners to complete their first ultra! Even if you've ran a marathon, preparing the body and mind for an ultra is very different, and having a solid strategy is key!

Seeing their faces and reactions when crossing the finish line is why I love coaching!

Strength Training

Strength training has many benefits for endurance runners, including injury prevention and improved running economy.

I can design a program to fit around your lifestyle and existing running program to maximise your performance!

Nutrition

Dialing in your race nutrition is the key to unlocking your performance potential!

Don't guess or wing-it for your next race - I'll help you come up with a practical plan you can practice in training and implement for your next race to crush those final miles!

Race Planning

No help deciding what to put in a drop bag? What you'll need at an aid station? Or have you got a first time crew?

I can help build a detailed race plan so you'll know what you'll need, when to take all the guess work out of it!
