About
I am a runner, coach, and writer interested in what makes endurance training hold together. My own racing spans road marathons, trail ultras, and multiday events, where small decisions acquire a long afterlife.
Long events expose the difference between fitness on paper and fitness that remains available. That is why I return to durability, pacing, fuelling, and the quality of decisions made when the original plan has stopped fitting the day.
Writing and evidence
The articles examine a single claim at a time. Research is named, figures are sourced, and limitations stay in the argument. Race experience helps me choose the questions; it does not get to settle them alone.
Coaching
I also coach athletes one-to-one, using TrainingPeaks where it is useful. The purpose is straightforward: organise the work, read the response, and change the plan before a small mismatch becomes a lost block.
Selected race history
Selected race history includes London to Brighton 100km, EcoTrail Paris 80km, the Pilgrim Challenge 106km, multiple editions of Ultra Tour of Edinburgh, and marathons including Frankfurt, Valencia, Chicago, and Paris.
