Every athlete is different!

Chester Marathon 2025

As human beings, we are all different!

Our thoughts, our feelings, our behaviours and our ambitions. The same applies to athletes. When we set a training programme for an athlete, the same has to apply!

I first started working with Rob Elphick, some two years ago. We met in Iten (the home of Champions in Kenya), and exchanged contacts. A while later, Rob approached me about working together as Coach/Athlete.

We have been on a real journey, and at the Chester marathon last year, Rob ran a 2.25 marathon. Fast forward to August of this year, and we record a 1.06 HM.

What I love is the fact that between us, we dare to believe…why limit your ambitions! We push on to see how much we can achieve!

Some Tuesdays, we do a double interval session….that would be two different work outs, morning and afternoon. Some sixteen miles, and circa ten miles of speedwork. One size does not fit all. We talk about the stats, plan and move on.

Together is stronger. Every athlete is different. Find the right path for each other, believe, and don’t build self imposed barriers! You never know what you might achieve!
