Starting a new challenge at any time in your life is difficult. It becomes even more challenging as you get older, but it is not impossible.
With the right coaching and training, anything is achievable.
As a running coach who has completed multiple Ultra Marathons over the age of 50, I understand what it takes not only to finish one but also to train adequately for future ones.
Running an Ultra Marathon is primarily a mental challenge, but if the body is not properly conditioned physically, the mental aspect becomes even more daunting.
No matter where you are on your Ultra Marathon journey, my training plans will help you not just finish your first Ultra or your 50th but will also enable you to perform at your best and recover swiftly.
Every week, you will have access to the specific type of training and recovery necessary to complete either a 50-mile or 100-mile race, and everything in between or beyond.
I will provide the right blend of strength training, endurance training, and flexibility/recovery sessions.
What makes what I do different from other trainers on this platform, is I provide more than training plans. I provide each client with a personalised approach to their Ultra Marathon training and then be there for them each training session and long run that they complete.
I support every training session I offer, as I will personally partake in them while preparing for my own Ultra challenges.

Start My 7-Day Free TrialSouth Coast 100km Ultra Challenge
Verified Athlete"I had never thought I could complete an Ultra Marathon, but with Chris's expert guidance and support I slowly built confidence over the weeks. Without the stregnth training Chris prescribed and the strutured running plan, I would have struggled to complete 20 miles, let alone 50."
London To Brighton 100km Ultra Challenge
Verified Athlete"I have always run, but it was never longer than 10 miles. But after meeting Chris and hearing all the amazing challenges he has helped others complete, I knew he could help me run further.
