From Couch to Backyard Ultra Winner
Your Mind is Your Biggest Asset
Five years ago, I couldn't run to the end of my street without stopping. Today, I'm a Backyard Ultra winner helping ultra runners discover what happens when psychology meets endurance training.
The breakthrough? I stopped trying to outrun my mind and started working with it instead.
As someone with a Psychology degree who lived the complete transformation from couch to ultra marathon winner, I don't just understand the science of mental performance—I've proven it works.
You might be struggling with:
-
Mental walls that hit before physical ones
-
Self-doubt during long training runs
-
Race-day nerves that sabotage months of preparation
-
Training plans that ignore how your mind actually responds to stress
What if someone who'd been exactly where you are could show you a different way?
This is psychology-powered ultra running coaching that transforms not just how you train, but how you think about what's possible. We work with your mind, your body, and your real life—building confidence through every session.
When your mindset is aligned with your training, everything changes. You don't just get fitter—you discover what you're truly capable of.
