As such he uses this knowledge, plus knowledge gained from his running experiences to help and support athletes who want to succeed at running and other sports.

Philosophy

I believe that athletes develop along a pathway to success regardless of age and ability and as such my philosophy is simply based around Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) principles and together as the relationship develops with the athlete so does the requirement to train at greater levels.
