About Me

Based in beautiful Bend, OR, but imported from the UK.

I'm an online ultrarunning coach (USATF certified), Ultrarunning Magazine columnist and runner for Altra Running who has represented England and been selected for the GB 100k team. I've been ultra running since 2005 and coaching since 2010, completing over 200 ultras and marathons in over 30 countries globally in every type of weather and on all terrains. Recently I've had success as the 4x Leadville Trail 100 Champion, 3x Rocky Raccoon 100 Champion, Grand Slam of Ultrarunning record holder and 9x top 10 at Western States 100 (the most ever without finishing outside the top 10 too).

Results:

These links below are really useful for all ultra results, but they go straight to my results first.

A great hub for global ultra results is duv ultra stats.

Plus ultrasignup has mainly US-based results or races with a lot of US runners.

Then Athlinks picks up most other stuff, especially on roads.
