Coach Bex's Story
Funnily enough running was never on my radar whilst growing up.
Don’t get me wrong, I gained a love of sport from a young age and really enjoyed playing sports such as netball and hockey during my school years. But when cross country season came around, you would not have seen me eagerly toeing the starting line!
Fast forward however to 2014, and after a change in career and generally having had a bit of lifestyle overhaul, running suddenly became a rather alluring challenge.
Despite a rather alarming lack of knowledge, I pushed myself to train and when race day rolled around, I had rather a pleasant surprise. Not only did I complete my first 10k in a very respectable time, but I did so with a smile on my face. And that really is where my passion all began!
After some enjoyable years running with my local club and meeting some amazing people, we found ourselves living in America.
Whilst running with a new club, I also trained as a coach with the Road Runners Club of America. Once qualified, I started to coach individual athletes and also run group training sessions for the local club.
Eventually we moved back to the UK, and after becoming a new mother, I decided that I wanted to build and expand on my running knowledge and coaching skills further.
I am a fully qualified Endurance Coach with UK Athletics and made the decision to make coaching my fulltime profession. Hence Run Further Coaching was born!
What has this all got to do with you?
As your Coach, my commitment to you is to provide fully tailored and detailed training plans, regular and honest feedback, be a listening ear, and above all... be your biggest cheerleader!
Running is my passion and my biggest wish is to pass that passion and enjoyment on to you.
Perhaps you’ve never run in your life…perhaps you’re a racing aficionado…. perhaps you run for the mental release.
Whatever your why for running, I am here to support you through it all; to act as you guide and to enable you to achieve your goals.
Let's Run Further together!
