Strength and Conditioning Coach
A few things people often say about me: I’m kind, approachable, flexible, and always athlete‑led. Your physical and mental wellbeing is central to how we work together.
Discover how to run with more ease, confidence, and efficiency, with a session tailored entirely to you.
I'll offer a clear, honest look at your current running style, helping you understand where you are right now and where your biggest opportunities for progress might be.
Through real‑time observation and supportive feedback, we’ll gently fine‑tune your technique together, adjusting form, improving efficiency, and turning small, sustainable changes into meaningful long‑term results.
Your running journey, fully personalised.
We’ll start by exploring your goals, motivations, and lifestyle, creating a training approach that fits naturally into your life and supports you toward your next meaningful milestone
A three-month commitment is recommended to help you build consistency and meaningful progress, but flexibility is always at the heart of the process. Your coaching adapts to you, your schedule, your ability, and your evolving needs.
A focused, supportive session designed to help you move forward with confidence.
Whether you’re rebuilding after injury, looking to develop speed, or simply wanting more variety and energy in your training, these sessions offer clear, personalised guidance that meets you exactly where you are.
We’ll work together in a way that feels challenging but achievable, blending enjoyable, purposeful coaching with techniques that suit all abilities. You’ll finish feeling stronger, more capable, and more confident in your running.
You’ve got the drive - now let’s turn it into progress.
Because I see what they can’t see yet. I don’t just look at pace or mileage. I pay attention to how someone moves, how they think about their running, and what they believe about themselves. I spot the patterns, the hesitations, and the strengths that haven’t been tapped into yet.
From there, we shape a training approach that feels supportive and achievable, with clear cues, focused sessions, and gentle mindset shifts that help progress feel possible again.
I help athletes move from “I can’t” to “I didn’t know I could.
Because I coach the whole runner.
PTs and fitness coaches often focus on strength or general conditioning, which is valuable, but running asks for more. I look at movement patterns, endurance strategy, pacing habits, confidence, and how all of these interact with real life.
My approach blends technique, strength, mindset, and sustainable training structure. It’s designed to support the whole person, their body, their goals, and the way they think and feel about running.
I don’t just make runners stronger, I make them more capable, more confident, and more consistent.
Because I coach with empathy, precision, and purpose.
I’m an England Athletics endurance coach and a Level 4 Strength & Conditioning specialist, with years of experience supporting runners at every stage, from first‑time 5K finishers to ultra athletes chasing big goals.
I don’t rely on generic plans or metrics alone. I take time to understand each athlete’s movement patterns, mindset, and real‑life context, and I build a coaching relationship rooted in trust, adaptability, and honest communication.
Other coaches might train the runner. I coach the person who runs.

Alex has been fantastic preparing me for my half marathon run, I started not being able to run at all but the schedule was broken into weekly segments and easy to follow, containing running and strength training - which never felt overwhelming.
