COACHING

Research-led coaching, built around you.

Over the past few years, I have written more than 50 in-depth articles for Born on the Trail. That is over 150,000 words informed by hundreds of peer-reviewed papers and long conversations with the coaches and scientists shaping how we understand ultra-distance performance. I also hold the UESCA Ultrarunning Coach certification.

Most runners do not need someone to make every decision for them. They need room to talk through doubts, plateaus, conflicting advice, messy data, and the question of whether they are on the right track. My role is to help you become a smarter, more confident athlete: I begin with your goals, history, constraints, and context, then adapt the plan to fit you and explain the why behind every decision.

I also race what I coach. That includes six Backyard Ultra-style events, representing Team Malta at the 2022 Backyard Ultra World Team Championship, and 48 yards at the 2023 Big's Backyard Ultra Individual World Championship, alongside finishes at CCC, Mozart 100, and Istria 100, including a few podiums at smaller races.
