I’m a lifelong trail runner with a deep love for the mountains and the ultra-distance mindset. Over the years, I’ve completed races like the Marathon des Sables or Swiss Alps 100 miles, and tackled FKTs on routes like the Taff Trail and Brecon Beacons. I’ve also found success in backyard ultra formats, winning several last-runner-standing events that test not just endurance, but resilience.

Trail running changed my life — it became a way to rebuild after years of struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. The rhythm of long days on the trails gave me clarity, discipline, and a sense of purpose. 

I joined TrailRunAdvisor to give something back to the community that helped me so much — helping others find real, honest race insights and feel part of something bigger.
