About

​I am the owner of Apexx Training and also a Running Coach, Personal Trainer and Mountain Leader based in Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.

I've always led a very active lifestyle, participating in a variety of sports from a young age, but my passion was always for running. My running career started with Harrogate Athletics Club competing at distances of up to 1,500m. However I was never going to be fast over those short distances, and much preferred going for a muddy run on the trails around Harrogate and competing for the school Cross-country Club.

Moving to Fort William in 2010 opened up a whole new running playground, and I now love nothing more than a day out running in the local mountains, whatever the weather. There's something about seeing what my body is capable of that really makes me tick. Over the years I have completed half marathons and marathons, and in 2022 I added some swimming and cycling to my running to complete my first Ironman. From the beautiful sunrise swim to running down the carpet to the finish line, Ironman Ireland was the most phenomenal experience. My focus is now purely on running, and the races I'm aiming for are getting longer and longer. I want to see how far I can go!

Whether it's on road or trail, 5k or 50k, if you are ready to challenge yourself and see just what you're capable of, I am here to help. Drop me a message, let me know your running goals and lets get started!
