I help runners improve their times, enjoy their running more and run their personal best.
After over 30 years of running, 15 years as a Personal Trainer and Nutrition Coach, I've learned how to fuel the body, prime the mind for performance and prevent injury. However, there was a time when I wasn't so healthy........
Back in early 2007 I was 12kgs overweight, stressed out from work, low in energy and was feeling terrible. This was a result of 6 months of over indulging, including a daily diet of 2 white bread scrolls from the bakery, a large Boost Juice, two large V energy drinks and two Subway chicken fillets with double bacon and cheese on herb n cheese bread. One night, I remember eating until I couldn't move at Hog's Breathe. I smashed a mega cut steak with extra curly fries, sauce and no salad. Somehow I managed to squeeze in dessert and half a bottle of champagne as well. To my girlfriend at the time and I it was just a big joke but I've never forgotten how bad I felt back then.
We nicked named each other "chubbers", unaware of how we were both spiraling out of control. Something had to change......So in March 2007, I left my job at Subway and began my Personal Training course. The next 12 weeks were truly life changing. I learned all about effective exercise and nutrition and lost the 12 kgs.
Being immersed daily in health and fitness made me obsessed. I began exercising 1-2 hours per day, riding my bike to class and discovering the magic of strength training. I truly can't remember eating one thing unhealthy in that whole time. I started reading mind-set books which helped me became super positive and feel a million dollars every day. I was me again.
Two years later I was running my first Marathon. Just know whatever your running goals are, they are within reach right now......
