HEALTH & FITNESS

MY STORY

I have a passion for exercise, nutrition, and health and want to share that with you. I absolutely love running, and have completed many half-, full, and ultra-marathons and endurance events. In terms of other training I am very enthusiastic about bodyweight training, core training, natural movement patterns and flexibility. I also enjoy the outdoors, so much of my training is done out in the fresh air and nature. I love setting myself challenges and achieving them, for example in 2015 completed a 100km ultramarathon. I do extensive reading related to fitness,  nutrition, and overall wellbeing.

I have been on my own journey (still continuing) in health and fitness. In 2009 I got into running and fitness and felt amazing. It was (and still is) one of the best things in my life. It let me accomplish things I wouldn't have thought possible, from movement patterns to endurance races. However, a few years of overtraining and undernutrition took hold. I came back from it. However then came the frustration of an ankle overuse injury and broken wrist. But I am almost back from that too. I am on a continued journey of improving my fitness and health, now in a more balanced and intuitive way.

From 2015 I decided to make fitness and health more than a hobby, also a career and way of life. After university I qualified as a Fitness and Personal Trainer. I first worked for a company doing gym-based training, and then freelance as a running and outdoor trainer. I have also done further courses in Running Fitness, Outdoor Fitness, and Nutrition.

I believe in a holistic approach to health – all aspects of movement and physical fitness, rest and recovery, good nutrition, a positive mind, and awareness coming together to create a better person.
