Ultra Running Coaching That Actually Fits Your Life
Mindset • Training • Nutrition • Education
This Is Coaching for
Your Whole Self
At mile 30, your fitness gets you there. Your nutrition keeps you moving. But your mindset decides whether you problem-solve or panic.
Most ultra runners train their legs and hope for the best with everything else. They hit the same mental walls, make the same race-day mistakes, and wonder why they're not improving. The psychology piece isn't a nice-to-have — for most people, it's the missing piece.
I coach runners who want to understand why they think the way they do under pressure — and how to change it. Not through motivational slogans or pretending everything's fine. Through evidence-based tools that actually work when you're exhausted, hungry, and questioning your life choices.
"I don't teach you to ignore the voice in your head—I teach you to change what it's saying."
Together, we'll work on:
-
Building genuine confidence through progressive challenges
-
Developing mental tools that work when things get tough
-
Your fuelling and recovery strategies
-
Creating habits that empower you in every area of life
When your mindset is strong, you don't just become a better runner—you become someone who approaches every challenge with clarity, confidence, and belief in what's possible.
How I Work With Runners
Ready to discover what you're capable of when your mind and training work as one team? Here's what that looks like in practice:
Mindset
Most ultra runners train their legs but ignore their most powerful asset—their mind.
Your mindset doesn't just affect performance—it creates it. While other runners crumble at mile 30, you'll have the psychological tools to thrive when things get brutal.
What makes this different:
-
Evidence-based mindset tools - BSc Psychology, UK Athletics + UESCA certification
-
Techniques that work under extreme stress - visualisation, self-talk, attention control, cognitive reframing
-
Your specific mental patterns addressed - self-doubt, race nerves, fear of failure, consistency issues
-
Transform your inner critic into your biggest supporter
"...I also learned loads from Kayleigh’s experience when it comes to planning for long ultras, and this all combined to help me not just finish my 100 mile race but come away having thoroughly enjoyed it and feeling far better than I’ve ever felt after running in much shorter events."
John King - West Highland Way Race, Moray Coastal 50
Let's Talk
Book a free 30-minute call. We'll talk about your running, your goals, and what's getting in the way. If coaching makes sense, we'll figure out which option fits. If it doesn't, I'll say so.
I love talking about running, resilience, and redefining what's possible - so if something here resonated, I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
