I’m Sarah, a Brighton-based qualified Running Coach and Pilates Teacher, coaching since 2017 and teaching since 2015. I run everything from parkrun to 100+ mile ultra marathons, and everything inbetween. I run on roads, on trails, in the mountains, across deserts, and around the track….basically I just love running!
I credit regular Pilates in keeping me injury free as I race across all distances, and I’m a huge advocate of how running and Pilates can work together to keep athletes healthy and strong.
I’m a UESCA Running Coach, Level 3 Pilates Teacher and member of REPS, and coach and teach all levels and abilities.
Whether you’re a runner wanting to start Pilates to compliment your running, a runner seeking coaching for your first ultra marathon or an experienced runner looking to take your running to the next level, then I can help you achieve your goals.
Your background and ability is irrelevant, all I ask for is passion and enthusiasm to meet your goals!
My Latest Activity.
Pilates Lessons.
I teach all levels of Pilates. My classes mix traditional Pilates with a sporty twist, and incorporate a particular emphasis on strengthening and stretching areas that are used in running.
Running Coaching.
Through bespoke one-to-one coaching I can help you meet your running goals, whether you’re training for your first marathon, or you’re a more experienced runner looking for new challenges.

I haven’t stopped thinking about Mani since Thursday. The Stone Roses played such a big part in shaping my life. Their debut album is the one I’ve played more than anything else. I don’t think a week goes by without me listening to at least one track from it. They soundtracked my teenage years, got me into clubbing….and if I hadn’t got into clubbing, I’d never have been in Ibiza and met Tom💕
RIP Mani. Thank you for the music and the memories. As Ian Brown said, ‘Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy that it happened.’🩷

Nashville, doing nothing to disprove my theory that, if you exclude bits of the east coast and west coast, the rest of America is bonkers😆
A fun 48 hours in Nashville🇺🇸

Tunnel Hill 100. DNF.
No excuses or regrets, just not recovered from G2E, which was always going to be a risk. Legs felt dead from early on and by 20 miles I felt like I’d already run 80 miles🫠
2025 has been epic, and am totally happy to end the year at mile 36 with a smile on my face rather than slog out a miserable 100 miles😆
And now it’s time to get a bit fat and unfit🙌🍻

@gbultras @glasgow_to_edinburgh_ultra Glasgow to Edinburgh🏴🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜 57 miles of canal path running joy in the sunshine😎
It’s rare that an ultra goes perfectly, but G2E was pretty much as perfect as races go☺️ Over the moon to finish in 8:42 hours for a very hard fought 1st female🥇😅 Thank you @phenry51 for such a great race🔥
The biggest thank you to my dream team crew @jamesstewart13 and Tom😍 Over 57 miles I had a total of 2 mins 46 secs stopping time which is down to their elite level crewing🤩

A teeny bit of mountain running, a lot of tarmac lap running (pic 6 for my fave lap in Courmayeur😆), but mostly following Tom around the mountains, feeding him rice pudding and custard, wiping him down with baby wipes and taking his stinky clothes off him🥰
Not the outcome we hoped for, but still so many happy memories from our week in the Aosta Valley🩷
The biggest thank you to my amazing crewing wingman David🙏🩷 Although don’t ask either of us to explain the Italian road system, as despite travelling 100s of miles on it we’re still none the wiser🤯😆

60 miles of dreamy canal path running, the best of @jamesstewart13 running chats, and a very good 4.1% IPA (always important to try and keep it under the 5% mark🤪).
Weekend in Scotland done right✅😆
