About me

I run on the paths behind my house most mornings, before work, and on longer routes at the weekend. I started because a road run bored me, and I stayed because the ground never feels the same twice. I am not fast. I am steady, and I have made nearly every beginner mistake there is, usually in the dark.

What I share is the part that helps: how I plan a week, what I pack, how I dress when it is well below freezing and how I get down a steep slope in one piece. The plans and checklists are the ones I use myself. The two courses are for people who want to start, or who want to keep going through the winter.
