Have you ever thought about running off-road?
It may be that you’ve run countless miles along the side of the road before. Or spent many hours on a treadmill. Maybe you’re a complete beginner or haven’t run since you were at school.
It’s common for people to think they can’t run off-road with fears such as
- I might get lost!
- I might trip over!
- It’s dangerous!
I want to show you that these fears are unfounded and that actually running off-road has many benefits including
- not having to breathe-in traffic fumes
- running in more beautiful surroundings
- running on a surface which is kinder to your joints than tarmac or concrete

Trails, paths, hills and more
Living on the outskirts of Greater Manchester there are so many opportunities to run in much nicer places than the road-side. Whether it be running along canals and waterways, following paths and trails, or getting up into the hills, there are so many good places to run. I’m based in Stockport, on the edge of Cheshire, Derbyshire and the High Peak.
Whether you are looking to take your first steps in off-road running, wanting to improve your running, or just finding new places to run, I can help.
