I’m Gordon, a trail runner and coach who’s spent the last decade enjoying long days out in the hills.

In 2021, I swapped the peat bogs of northern England for the mountains of New Zealand, which reinforced what I love most about running: taking on challenges that feel just beyond your comfort zone.

Most of the runners I work with aren’t beginners - they’ve already got experience on the trails. Often they are stepping into something bigger:

• Their first 100km

• Their first 24-hour effort

• Competing for podiums

These jumps are where things get uncertain and where the right coaching makes the biggest difference.

I’ve been coaching sport since I was a teenager, and started Your Running Pal in June 2025 to help runners take on bigger, scarier goals with structure, confidence, and a plan that actually holds up when it gets tough.
