Stuart started running as a total beginner in 2010, when he was signed up for a charity marathon with his Dad and brother. On completion it was safe to say he had the running bug! From then on Stuart has gone from strength to strength, enjoying a wide variety of races, enjoying seeing his improvements and always looking for the next challenge. Fast forward to 2019 and Stuart has now completed 25 marathons and ultras including three 100 milers and the incredible 145 mile AYP North Coast Challenge. Stuart is a qualified and UKA registered Coach in Running Fitness and leads groups from beginners to elite level on a weekly basis. When he isn't coaching Stuart can be found exploring the South West Coast Path with his four legged friend, Bobby, and loves nothing more than exploring the great outdoors and holidaying in Lake District.
