As a runner. I am an everyday runner with over 20 years of experience. I know what it’s like to struggle with consistency and face mindset challenges. I approach running from a non-elite perspective, and specialise in helping you fit running into your life, especially when it’s difficult to make it a priority.

I’ve been where you are. Inconsistency plagued me – I frequently deferred race entries, struggled with regular training, and kept getting injured because I didn’t understand what I was doing. I spent more money on deferring races than actually participating in them.

My turning point came in 2017 when I lost 23kgs. During this time, I approached running in a way that suited both me and my lifestyle. As a result, I was finally able to find consistency in my training. Although I’ve since settled at a maintained weight, gaining back 6kgs, this period was the catalyst for my transformation as a runner.

2020 became my breakthrough year. After unsuccessful attempts to ‘Run the Year’ in 2018 and 2019, I finally succeeded in running 2020 miles in 2020. This challenge taught me more about running than my previous 20 years combined. It was when running transformed from something I did to part of who I am.

Today, I run consistently with a mindset that drives me to improve. I’ve maintained multiple running streaks (at least 5K daily) – my first lasted 90 days, then 100 days, and my current streak has been going since February 2021. I’ve progressed from a 2:40 half marathon time to 2:04, and I’m now working toward breaking the 2-hour barrier. Most importantly, I’ve come to love running and enjoy setting new targets that challenge and excite me.
