About Andy

I’m an experienced and passionate running coach with a long standing track record of helping athletes of all levels unlock their true potential. With a deep understanding of training methodologies, performance development and long term progression, I’ve worked with runners from grassroots to elite level, always with a focus on building robust, confident and well supported athletes. I compete as a Great Britain Age Group duathlete on the world stage, which gives me a unique insight into the mindset, structure and discipline required to perform at a high level while balancing the demands of daily life. This personal experience shapes my coaching philosophy and helps me guide others through the highs and lows of their own journey. My mission is simple: to empower people to run stronger, think clearer and enjoy the journey. This is more than just pace and distance — it’s about building a mindset, a community and a way of life that supports high performance and personal growth.

Bespoke training plan isn't just a phrase. Throughout race cancellation due to Covid-19 and injury Andy has adapted the training plan to every new situation. Thank you for your help.
