Kerry Cox - Fitness, Nutrition & Therapeutic Life Coaching

11/10/2026

Yesterday, Cox and I took on the Kent Downs 50km. And it was tough.

The first half felt good…the second half was a rather more character-building experience. But we got round, and I’m proud of that.

I went into this knowing I was underprepared, but sometimes I think it’s good to put yourself out there anyway. To be a beginner. To try something you’re not entirely sure you can do. To remind yourself that you can do hard things, even when they don’t go quite to plan.

And to remember that getting there isn’t always about being the fastest or the strongest. Sometimes it’s about putting one foot in front of the other, being stubborn enough to keep going, and having good people alongside you.

Cox could easily have gone faster, but never once considered doing anything other than staying with me…and enjoying all the food stops 🤣 Turns out, doing hard things together is rather special.

In a lovely piece of entirely unplanned timing, we completed this challenge during Dyslexia Awareness Week and I’m delighted with the money we’ve raised for the British Dyslexia Association .

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us, cheered us on and sponsored us. It genuinely means a lot, and we’re so grateful.

That’s now a marathon for each of our kids. I’m officially retired 😂

Well, I’ve got four weeks to get myself ready for a 50km ultra.

And I’m not going to lie… I’m woefully underprepared! 😂

When I signed up, I was in a completely different place. I’d been so disciplined with my running while training for the London Marathon, then I finished, had a bit of a break, the heatwaves arrived, then came the summer holidays, work, family life and being away.

And somewhere along the way, I lost my rhythm.

Nothing dramatic. I just lost some of the things that help me feel like my best self.

And once you break a routine, it’s surprisingly easy to keep putting it off. Tomorrow becomes next week, next week becomes “when things settle down”… and before you know it, you’re not doing the things you know make you feel better.

But I’ve had enough of that.

I’ve got four weeks.

I can be four weeks fitter and stronger than I am today, or I can be four weeks less fit and strong.

I get to choose.

So I’m choosing to start.

I have a plan, I’m getting organised, I’m making time for the things that matter and I’m going to get round that 50km. I genuinely don’t care if I have to drag myself around it. I’m committed to finishing.

And perhaps more importantly, I’m using this as a bit of a reset for me generally. Getting back to the things that make me feel strong, energised, focused and like myself.

It feels particularly appropriate that I’m doing this while raising money for the British Dyslexia Association.

The BDA is a charity that means a lot to me and my family, and it feels every bit as important to me to support this cause as it did when I ran London for Autistica earlier this year.

My fundraising target is £400, but I’d love to beat that.

So… if this resonates with you, and you feel so inclined, please sponsor me. ❤️

Right. Four weeks. Let’s see what I can do. 💪

The part of coaching AI can't reach.

AI can now replicate many of the surface elements of coaching well. It can:
* ask sensible questions
* paraphrase and reflect back
* notice discrepancies and patterns
* even sound empathetic

It's learned to "pass the test" - to match patterns with appropriate outputs - without truly understanding that questions and answers are only the visible layer. And when we stay only at that level, we often end up with insight that sounds good, but rarely creates meaningful movement.

Quality coaching lives in something much less tangible and much harder to replicate. It lies in the unspoken dynamics in the room and what the client can't yet fully articulate. It lies in.....the hesitation before an answer...the thing someone says too quickly...the story that sounds polished but doesn’t quite fit...the thing that isn't being said...the shift in energy when something important gets close...the timing, intuition and relational reading of what's happening in the moment. ..and ultimately, why this matters, right here and right now, for this person.

While we don’t need to stay stuck in the past, the past does shape how we show up, respond, protect ourselves, and make decisions today. And if we ignore that, we often end up working around the real issue rather than through it, which is why the same patterns continue to repeat, despite the best intentions to change them.

Good coaching helps you move forwards.
Better coaching helps you to understand what’s been quietly shaping things all along.
And that part still requires a human.

If you’re at a point where you know something needs to shift, but surface-level insight isn’t getting you there, my door is open.

This photo deserves a place on the grid on its own. We just need to work out a way to add the other half of this amazing team of humans in

Yesterday I completed the London Marathon — something that not so long ago felt completely out of reach.

It was an incredible day, but not just because of the finish line. What really stayed with me was the atmosphere. The crowds, the volunteers, the total strangers cheering you on — lifting people through the toughest moments. And for every autistic person who ran, that was a sensory experience like no other from start to finish. I salute you.

Every single person on that course was digging deep for their own reason — chasing goals they’d trained relentlessly for, running for charities, for loved ones, in memory of loved ones, or simply to prove something to themselves. We showed up after months of training through snow, ice, hail and rain… and then got sunshine on the day. Proof, if it was needed, that we can do hard things.

You don’t have to run a sub-2 marathon (still can’t get my head around that 🤯) or cross the line first to achieve something extraordinary. There were wins everywhere.

And I’m so proud to have been part of an amazing team of humans who raised an incredible amount of money for Autistica , helping autistic people lead happier lives.

To Cox, my family and my amazing support crew — I love you, and thank you. I promise I’ll stop talking about the marathon…eventually. For now I’m just going to groan a lot and wear my medal all week 😉

Bib collected and flatlay sorted…I’m officially ready.
