Timeline

Big achievements have small beginnings.  I started my running career as a reluctant couch to 5k runner.  Now I'm an ultrarunner, coach and guide.  My timeline shows my progression, as a 'normal' runner, from sub-5 marathon to London championships qualifier, from road to trail runner, and from ultra-novice to regular top-10 placings.  Growth takes time, determination and consistency.  I believe anyone can make these gains with the right mindset and the right support.
