From representing Wales as a junior on the track to running professionally as an ultra trail runner, I have been a runner for nearly 2/3 of my life.

​

I started running middle-distance track when I was 11 years old. As a kid I had a limitless amount of energy and running was a way to direct that energy into something fun and positive. Focusing on 1500m, I was dedicated to my sport and trained hard. I progressed to an elite junior level and ran for my national team, achieving a PR of 3:53. Fast forward 10 years—a decade of running loops around a track—I graduated from university with a BSc in Sport Biomedicine & Nutrition and left the middle-distance scene behind. I put my focus into other interests, like climbing, drumming and travel, but running remained at the core of my life and I never stopped lacing up the shoes.

In 2013 I moved to Thailand, and running around the mountains of Chiang Mai my trail running journey began.

2016 was the year that I decided to take racing seriously and see how far I could take things. That meant 14 races, 9 wins, course records on the trails, roads and up a skyscraper, and my first 100k. In 2017 I stepped things up a level and focused on international-level ultras that I knew would challenge me as a runner. I set my eyes on CCC, arguably the most competitive 100k in the word, and although I didn't run the race I had hoped for, I returned in 2018 and finished in the top 10 (8th place)—one of my proudest results to date.

I have now competed in 14 races of 100km or above and reached the podium in 8 of them, 4 of those being on the Ultra-Trail World Tour. I compete at the highest level of the sport and am always exploring my limits and pushing myself as far as I can go.
