“I have always been a keen runner and cyclist, which naturally made me gravitate to Duathlon, where I discovered I had a real passion. I started out in regional races and progressed quickly in the sport, successfully competing at National & International while representing Team GB at the European championships and World Championships winning Bronze and Silver medals over the years. Retiring from Duathlon was hard to swallow, but I needed new challenges in life, so I decided to hang up the running shoes and concentrate on cycling, focusing on Road Racing and Time trials.

All that said, it's not all about performance and I may not compete for the time being, but keeping fit is still a massive priority in my life! I now get huge satisfaction from being able to help people become fitter, healthier and most importantly happier. I genuinely believe this is possible through exercise.”
