Coaching for Backyard Ultra Runners

The Backyard Ultra is a very specific format and offers its own unique challenges (and opportuntities!). A specialist in this area can leverage their own experiences and knowledge to provide you with a much better coaching journey than a generalist coach.

As well as highly personalised training plans, a good coach will also:

• advise on form and technique
• increase your accountability and motivation
• inform based on their own running experiences
• improve your performance!

I coach all levels, from beginners to experienced runners looking for advanced training. I tailor my approach accordingly.

It depends on your needs. For examples, please see the Services page.

A successful backyard ultra runner will be able to lock into the optimal pace and maintain a similar pace lap after lap. They will also need to adjust accordingly to the terrain and elevation of the course.

To perform to their best, the runner will also need a strong and patient mindset.

And of course it's necessary to do the right physical training and event-specific preparation.

No, experience doesn't matter. Whether you’re completely new to backyard ultras or very experienced in them, our coaching is designed for all levels.

Not at all. The majority of my coaching is conducted remotely. What matters is your dedication to the training and to your goals.

Expect personalised support, flexibility in training schedules, ongoing check-ins, regardless of your physical location.
