Success isn’t just PBs or Strava kudos. It’s starting from your real life—time, energy, responsibilities—setting clear goals, building consistent habits, and closing the gap step by step. Confidence grows when the training fits you and you show up.

Endurance sport should be open to everyone, at every level and any age. Coaching must be inclusive and accessible. Training should be enjoyable, balanced, and sustainable—plans that flex around work and family, progress without the all-or-nothing grind.

 

Endurance sport should add to your life, not take from it. We protect recovery, keep the fun, and measure what matters so you finish stronger, healthier, and still present for the rest of your world.

Level 3 Diet & Nutrition Coach

British Triathlon Activator/Run leader

Training Camp Nutrition Coach and Speaker

Award Winning!

Good nutrition goes hand in hand with a great training plan, and whatever your next event may be, nutrition is key to reaching your absolute potential. 

My interest and passion for nutrition was sparked years ago whilst working as a consultant for a weight loss organisation, and then I began to train for my own endurance events. 

I realised the importance of good nutrition through my own experiences, and furthered that by studying for a Level 3 qualification in Diet & Nutrition. 

I’m looking forward to assisting anyone who would like to realise the benefits of good nutrition and would like to maximise their performance through effective nutrition planning.

Running and Ultra Distance Extraordinaire

Half Man Half Machine

I’m passionate about exploring what’s possible, whether that means crossing the finish line of an epic ultra or helping you conquer your very first 5K.

As a coach, I believe running is about more than just training plans and split times. It’s about building confidence, resilience, and joy in every step. My approach blends structured, personalised coaching with a healthy dose of motivation and support, so you feel empowered in both your running and your everyday life.

From strength and endurance to mindset and balance, we’ll work together to help you unlock your potential—and have fun doing it. And if you ever feel inspired to join me on one of my big adventures, I’d love to see you step up to your own challenge.

I’ll bring the experience and support—you bring the commitment. From there, we’ll see just how far you can go.

Rob "Robzi" Williams 

Level 1 Training Peaks Accredited Coach

Mentored Coach

I am a rounded, solid, ,slightly mad triathlete, who's passion to get the job done has seen me complete 2 x Full IM, numerous 70.3, a few Standard distance, a couple of Ultras, oh and some Marathons.

 

After forced retirement from football owing to injuries, i struck on Triathlon. I love the environment of "you get out what you get in" and "you are truly the only one you can rely upon when you are out in the heat of the battle"! It builds an amazing mental resiliance and shows you how far you can push yourself, even when you are well and truly in the trenches, and i've been there alot!

 

I want to work with athletes that want to push themselves, challenge there perceived boundaries, work hard and most of all have some fun along the way!!
