HR Running Coach

The Great Christmas Scavenger Hunt goes global!

It’s nearly 4 months since we moved to Wellington.

Although I said I wouldn’t do it again, starting the running club has been a total joy and made the move over here feel a lot easier.

Everyone has been so positive, welcoming and so so kind. Always offering help and advice where ever they can.

Next year I’m going to start coaching some 8 week programmes to help people start running (the couch to 5k crew) and also help people improve their running (faster 5km crew). I loved doing this back in England, and I can’t wait to get them started over here too.

Thanks to everyone who came last night.

Triathlon training has begun.

Or you could pair it back a little bit and say…learning how to freestyle/front crawl has begun!

After the humbling experience of the last week, it’s clear I need to do a hell of a lot of work in the pool to have any chance of swimming 400m freestyle, in the sea, in February.

My plan was to do 5 x 25m and on the first length I didn’t make it to the other side of the pool without needing to stop, splutter and put my feet on the bottom and take a breath.

By the 4th or 5th I made it from one end to the other non stop but needed a good amount of recovery time before I went again.

All the while in the lanes next to me the swimmers were moving through the water so gracefully - they didn’t even look like they’re trying!

In the end I managed 3 sets of 5 x 25m with breaks of breaststroke between each set.

I’m definitely going to look into some lessons and coaching on technique as I know it’ll make the world of difference to how it feels.

Onwards and upwards.

💦Splash and Dash! 💦

Before (scared face) ➡️ After (feeling like a total badass face)

First sea swim…😅 lots to learn and improve on!!

A really welcoming and friendly event. I look forward to returning after I’ve worked on my swimming!

Record numbers again at the Khandallah Social Run Group (a.k.a KSRG).

This group fills my joy cup up each week. 😍

Morning/evening all,

Here's a little more about the services I provide and how I can help you with your running.

Please do get in touch, I'm more than happy to have an informal (no obligation!) chat about where you're at and how I can help.

Throw your hands in the air like you just don’t care!

The inaugural Khandallah Social Run this evening.

A lovely group and a real mix of abilities ran together, most of us not knowing each other and all of us taking a leap to give it a go.

Thank you to all who came.

Man it feels good 😊 doing what I love to do.

I said I wouldn’t start another group but I’m so glad I have.

This one’s for you all you stat lovers out there.

In summary…I mostly coach women between the ages of 36 - 45. It’s a really close split between those who are training for a specific race vs. those who want ongoing programming and coaching. Race wise, the majority of the clients I coach are training for half marathon and marathon distance.

Are you surprised? What were you expecting?

If you are looking at this and thinking “well why aren’t I getting in on the coaching action” get in touch and we can have a chat about how I can best help you!
