Elite trail runner and running coach, supported by Merrell, SunGod.

I’ve been coaching for over 10 years now and have had the privilege of working with many runners as they chase their goals on the roads, trails and everything in between.

Most of the coaching relationship and trust is built through a computer screen or phone, but there’s nothing better than meeting up face to face and building on that connection to help the whole process thrive.

Seeing the runners I coach work hard, overcome challenges and give it everything they’ve got to achieve their goals is one of the best motivation boosts for my own training and racing.

I’m opening up a few coaching spots this month, so drop me a message if you’d like to learn a little more about how we can work together.

UTMB DNF. Disappointed, frustrated, sad. Lots of thoughts about this one. But most of all motivated and full of ambition for the next. It was a special and beautiful journey on the trail while it lasted.

Thank you to my sponsors and for the support through this year 🙏

My family for their support in my pursuits on two feet.

My coach for getting me here with the legs to get the job done, had things been a little different.

for the pro crewing. Couldn’t have asked for more 👍

What’s next? We’ll see. Either way I’ll be lacing up the shoes soon as I’m back to full health and seeing where my legs can take me.

Who’s ready for some red light therapy from Les Contamines? ♦️🧘‍♂️♦️

Two hour delay to the start of the race due to weather conditions ⛈️ but feeling ready to take on the night with Fenixlight UK. Let’s go already 😁

Thanks to for keeping me fuelled up through these adventures. A lot of gels locked and loaded for this lap of UTMB starting tomorrow evening.

I love having such a large range of products to choose from at XMiles. Check out their big sale before it ends this Sunday!

One more sleep 😬🥤

A much needed few weeks in the mountains in the lead up to UTMB. Getting in some final runs, with a great balance of family hikes, pump tracks, tent life (maybe a little 🥶 at times) and a building excitement to get started this Friday and see what can happen.

Good luck to all runners taking on their UTMB races this week! Remember to look up and enjoy the views 🏔️

Sweeping views, dusty trails, mountain legs and Wales at its best.

It’s been a hot summer of training, many mountain days linked up and some great moments reflecting on the this ultra journey I’ve had through the years.

There’s a respectful optimism I have for this year’s race and the journey around Mt.Blanc. Beyond numbers, placings and how those could look, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the year so far and the time I’ve had out on the mountains and beyond. Which when 99% of the years running is training then I’ve been doing something right.

Some reflections on some of my recent UTMB races whilst recceing the route a few weeks back.

Grateful for those who support the journey and the process.

If you’re racing at the end of this month. Enjoy this final stage of your training!

Lots of time in the mountains with plenty of this 📈 📉 with some fun family adventures thrown in 🎶

Best time of year up here.

Perfect morning for it up in the playground.

Little man’s first gig. If only every venue looked like this 🌳

at the Mount in Wasing, would recommend!

Quality over quantity right?

7th at 100km - what an epic it became.

Homework was done, training was on point and the head felt in the right space to have a strong day. After sharing some miles with and I dropped my poles between some boulders and lost touch on the descent of Moel Siabod. Working hard to close the gap I never quite made it back to the group.

We want everything to be controlled, smooth sailing and ‘to plan’ in races, but it’s often the open ended possibilities and unexpected difficulties that come our way within 100 kilometres of true mountain trails that make ultras worth running. This time around, I was humbled by the weather. Uncontrollably shaking, numb hands trying to pile on the layers, I was ready to call it a day on Moel Hebog. When it’s one of those days and you make it through, just finishing the race feels like a success.

There’s a lot of positives to take from this one and I’ll be back to see what I can do in the years to come.

Diolch yn fawr Eryri.

Huge thank you to all the volunteers and the team behind the event, to my coach for guiding me through a reasonably tight turnaround between three races, and as always a lot of gratitude to my family for supporting on race day, as well as day to day with my running escapades.

There’s no getting round the fact that Eryri is a special place to venture around. Over the last month and several recce trips I’ve been fortunate to be hit with all the seasons and everything the mountains could throw at me. A few weeks to go until 100km. Pleased to see a little extra sting in the tail has been added on over this last week making the final stages of the race a bit spicier with the addition of Nantlle ridge and Moel Hebog. Let’s see how the legs feel about that come race day.
