About Ultra Running Coach Max

Max

I love the enthusiasm of the ultra running community and helping others to achieve their goals across all distances from 5km through to ultra marathons. My progress has seen me go from being unfit and slightly overweight to running regular marathons as training runs and ultras. Through being self-coached my 5k, 10k, 10 miler, and marathon times have fallen by 25%, and I regularly run ultras. I am a qualified UESCA ultra running coach, and I have helped runners of all abilities to achieve their goals. Whether you’re looking to get out onto the trails for the first time, running a marathon, or you are in need of a bespoke training plan or moving up to a new distance, I provide individual coaching that will help you along the way for all distances.
