I’m Lucy, I’m a triathlon and run coach, personal trainer and endurance athlete, and I’m passionate about helping you achieve your goals, from your first 5k run, up to Ironman and beyond.

​I strongly believe that it’s not just about your time over the finish line, but how you got there. I want you to enjoy your training, and I believe for you to be happy and healthy, your training must be in bala

nce with, rather than competing with, the rest of your life.

​Triathlon coach

I am a Level 3 British Triathlon Foundation coach and Level 2 Training Peaks coach, and have a wide variety of experience. I specialise in triathlon coaching, delivering online training plans via Training Peaks, accompanied by coaching calls to discuss issues such as nutrition, mindset, training-life balance, and the necessary discipline specific skills. I am currently based in York, but have recently moved from Surrey, where I was Head Coach for two Surrey triathlon clubs (in Woking and Guilford) and prior to that was Head Coach with Windrush Tri in South London.

Another new favourite parkrun with the Ironmen at Crosby, thanks for the suggestion. Followed by a beautiful walk along the beach and dunes at Formby (sadly no cheeky 🐿️).

So happy for Lindsey Prior-Mckie with a cracking race at the Outlaw Half.

It's been so brilliant watching her grow in confidence and fitness and great to see her amazing smile and positive energy flying round the course and across the finish line.

When we spoke just before the race she said she felt ready for it, and she was right!

Perfectly executed, and even making time to stop to help someone who had crashed. We need more Lindseys in the world!

Cant wait to see her do the full Outlaw in a few months.

And I looooove these words from her. It's such a powerful moment when we can appreciate our body for what it does for us, rather than beating ourselves up for all the bits we dont like.

Also shout out to Alex keeping it easy at the Hackney Half as part of her build towards Ironman Leeds this year.

Not every race has to be about going hard. Taking time to soak up the atmosphere and just enjoy it, as well as pacing practice where the challenge is to go easy at the beginning, can be just as valuable and often a lot more fun!

And some DNS and DNF as well this weekend. It's never easy to scratch from a race, especially after all the work you've done to get there, but protecting your health and looking after yourself always has to be most important. There's always another day...

Great feedback on our slightly longer intervals for today's Haxby Runners speed session - these really help with pacing practice and building our ability to hold pace for longer.

Everyone sets their own pace around the loop so no one needs to worry about keeping up.

Hope to see you at the next speed session next Wednesday!

15 years ago I had one of the worst years of my life, and my mental health took a hit.

Then I had an idea which changed my life. I was determined to drag myself out of the hole I was in, so I created an A-Z fundraising challenge which included doing my first triathlon.

I went from someone who did very little exercise to discovering the impact exercise and the outdoors could have on my mental health.

Exercise changed my life and I wanted to help other women discover the power of exercise for their mental health and wellbeing.

So I changed career to become a Triathlon Coach.

More recently I trained as a Mental Health and Exercise Coach (becoming the UK’s first Mental Health and Exercise Triathlon Coach) to develop the tools to support women to embrace the positives of exercise - to build habits that make it easy to stick to a plan, to learn to love their bodies again, and to stop using exercise as a stick to beat themselves up with.

I’ve had the massive privilege of working with some amazing women, witnessing the changes and progress they’ve made, the resilience they’ve shown, and learning with them how to adapt training around the highs and lows of menopause and neurodiversity.

I never want to go back to how I felt 15 years ago, but I’m so thankful that it happened, and that somewhere within it I was able to plant the seed that continues to grow each day.

Movement and exercise is one of the most powerful ways to build mental health, especially when you pair it with time outdoors.

But so often we turn it into a stick to beat ourselves with.

We compare ourselves to others:
“They’re faster than me" ,
“They look better in lycra”,
“They probably think I don’t look like a runner”.

Or we slip into unhelpful thinking around food and worth:
“I can only eat that if I’ve exercised" or
“I missed my workout, so I don’t deserve that”.

I constantly hear these thoughts from friends and clients. And see how much they damage our relationship with movement – destroying the very benefits it could bring.

But it doesn’t have to be like that.

Exercise should never feel like punishment.
Exercise isn't about anyone else but you.

If it's too hard, make it easier.
If you're worrying about everyone else then ask yourself why that matters to what you're doing.

Each step you take is a step closer to your goal and a step towards changing those negative thoughts, and the more steps you take, the easier it gets.

What's your biggest barrier to exercise? Let me know and let's break it down.
