Glass half full or half empty.
Decide on what you want to achieve and proceed with purpose."

I am here to help you achieve your fitness and health goals, so you can enjoy life to the full.

I have been running ultras since 1991 and what a journey it has been. Ignorance is bliss they say. Nope, its sore muscles, broken foot bones, cracked ribs and a whole lot of amazing memories, friends made and destinations visited.

Why I Coach

They say that those who can't do, teach, so why do I coach.

It helps me meet new people, experience the joy when people reach their goals, improve people's enjoyment of running, get people active, chase my kids around the garden, visit hidden gems in Zimbabwe, stretch myself as a human, and keep me learning about running.
