Real Results
"A year ago the idea of finishing UTS 100 was simply unachievable for me. Kat's taken me from strength to strength, kept me injury free, and pushed me to levels I could not have achieved on my own."
"Under Brennan's guidance I've improved from 40:xx to 34:19 for the 10K and from 1:54:40 to 1:15:37 for the half marathon — a far greater improvement than I'd have achieved alone."
"I'm 53 and having a coach for the first time has been a revelation. In the last year I've run fell races at PB pace — as fast as I've been for 10–15 years."
"In 2019 I came 16th before we started working together. The training has been tailored to suit my work commitments — maximising available time and the terrain at hand."
