Description

I have a wealth of real-life experience with many tales of the trails to tell. I’ve learned through mistakes and got through many a dire situation through problem solving and mindset. If there is something that scares you, intimidates you, or you wish to have more confidence in, I can help.

I can teach you how to use poles, give you more confidence at running at night time, or we can do a mindset coaching session whilst getting some miles in. I can plan race route recces for you including travel and accommodation logistics, running holidays (i.e The North Wales Pilgrims Way) or we can practice run your race route together whilst exploring pacing, mindset, nutrition and kit strategies.

Please reach out with any subject you want covered. The options detailed below are some examples of what I can help you with.

Client Testimonials

When Lizzie took me for a run to show me how to use my newly acquired running polesI had a great experience and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for running or coaching support. She gave me really practical advice on how to use running poles correctly, explaining the technique in a way that was easy to understand and immediately helpful. She was knowledgeable, encouraging and took the time to answer my questions without making anything feel complicated.
