Stronger Together - group coaching for Lakeland Trails 55k 2026
%20(1).png)
A community training experience for an extraordinary goal. In partnership with Into Ultra, I am proud to be part of Stronger Together, a group coaching plan for beginner, novice and improver ultra runners aiming for the 2026 Lakeland Trails 2026 event. Join us for all you need to start and finish strong, and have fun while doing it.
​
If you've ever looked at an ultra and thought 'I'd love to do that' - this is your opportunity. With expert guidance and a supportive community, together we'll grow in strength, confidence and connection.

The 2025 Stronger Together group said:
​
‘This project has been amazing for me….having the group dynamic was fantastic as we all spurred each other on and chatted through our worries and niggles..’
​
‘There were setbacks of course but with the support of our coach and the group we got there in the end – an amazing experience!’

Costs and commitments
-
The plan begins in late January; we ask that by that point you have run for 2 hours (at any pace) sometime in the past few months, and can commit to running 3-4 times per week.
-
If you don’t meet those criteria right now but are interested, please contact me to discuss - you may be able to get there by January, and people with other fitness (e.g. strong walkers) are also welcome.
-
You’ll need your own place for the event (not included in cost)
-
We’re looking for people keen to be part of the community, so you’ll be available for the majority of the meet-ups and Zoom calls (you don’t have to make all of them!)
-
The entire programme costs just £200 (£1.19 per day!). If cost is a barrier for you, funded places are available from Into Ultra, so please apply anyway.
