Coaching Background

I have been running myself now for 11-years and recently became a VDOT Certified Coach. One of my biggest achievements athletically was qualifying for the UK Olympic Trial 10,000m Final in 2012. I have studied distance running now for the last 15-years and I have hundreds of training/coaching books, which has giving me a great understanding of the sport I love.

I am located just outside of London in the UK where I currently work with 5 athletes through VDOT O2. VDOT is the best way of determining the correct training intensities of every runner. The app has made it so easy to upload all of my athletes training and evaluate their progress. I currently work with a wide range of athletes with different running abilities from 5k to the marathon.
