About Me & My Ethos:
I’m married with two teenage boys in further education. I enjoy showing people how little they need to do to improve their own mental and physical fitness. Witnessing people achieve their goals through self-belief and hard work is very rewarding to me. All I ask is that people are honest with both me and themselves.
Where I Operate:
I operate within Peterborough and the surrounding villages, however, if anyone wishes to connect via ‘Zoom’, distance knows no bounds!

Achievements to Date:
I began running January 2000 and since then have progressed to completing in distances from Parkrun to Marathons and Ultra events.
I train in the gym, to keep one step ahead of my clients, and now lift heavier than my own body-weight.
I’ve run 9 marathons including Paris plus several Ultras. My favourite being the Atlantic Coast Challenge 80 miles from Penzance to Land’s End. I’ve also run Race to the Stones 100k in Oxfordshire and the Pony Express 60 miles in Dorset.
In my younger days, I was the Eye Community Runners Veteran Ladies Club Champion 4 years running.
Future Goals:
I’m working on squats lifting double my own body-weight,
My dream is to complete the Dragons Back Race – 5 marathons over 5 days across the mountains of Wales.
