Listed in first name alphabetical order:
Hannah (Hamilton)
Bio: Hannah didn’t start running properly until after her daughter was born in 2017, before this was very sporadic. Her husband was a keen cyclist so naturally they got into triathlons together, competing from sprint distances to half Ironman. After a second child triathlons have taken a backseat and running is her main passion, taking part in races ranging from 5k to marathons with half marathon being her favourite distance, and of course cross country! She is also very keen to learn all about nutrition and fuelling your body correctly whilst training and racing.

Paul (Harrod)
- Bio: Paul has run all his life, but until the age of 40 just seemed to be getting slower! His son James was a promising junior and so Paul decided to look seriously into exercise physiology in order to help his son improve. For the past five years they have both followed an approach that focuses on building the aerobic foundation; response-regulated adaptation; sequential development and proper running mechanics. Paul’s 5k time has dropped from 21:15 to 17.40, while James was in the top 80 at the most recent national cross-country championships. Paul believes that many runners are doing all the right training, just not in the right order!
- Coaching qualifications: Lydiard Foundation levels 1,2 and 3
- Type of coaching offered: Paul is happy to offer 1-2-1 coaching for anyone who feels their training is ‘hit and miss’ but does not necessarily understand why. He’d also love to help someone target a PB if they are willing to dedicate some time to the build up! He also hopes to offer some ‘hill drills’ group sessions.
