Our Philosophy
Welcome to Southern Summits Trail Coach, where we empower runners to achieve their goals through a unique blend of science and holistic support. Our coaching philosophy centres on personalised, individualised training plans tailored to your specific needs and capabilities, moving away from one-size-fits-all approaches.
We understand that the journey of running encompasses not only physical endurance but also the often-overlooked mental and emotional aspects of training and competition. By focusing on sustainability and consistency, we guide everyday athletes to tap into their full potential and transform challenges into triumphs. Join us in redefining what’s possible, one step at a time!
Your Coach
Hello! I’m Colleen, an ultrarunning coach with a passion for guiding athletes through their endurance journeys. With years of experience in trail and ultrarunning, including completing 100-mile races both locally and internationally, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice. As a UESCA certified ultrarunning coach and certified mountain guide, I combine my scientific background with an analytical coaching approach to create personalised training plans. My fascination with the process of preparing for ultra-endurance races fuels my commitment to supporting others in achieving their big, ambitious goals. I am continually researching relevant topics to ensure I am up to date with the latest findings in the ever evolving world of endurance sports. I am currently completing a certification in endurance sports nutrition so that I can further equip my clients with the necessary tools and knowledge to help them achieve their goals to the best of their abilities.
Let’s embark on this thrilling journey together and unlock your true potential!
