SPORTS MASSAGE & INJURY CLINIC

I have been writing and presenting on fitness for more than a decade, becoming one of the UK's leading experts. With a background in magazine journalism and a first class honours degree in sport & exercise science, I am able to translate the science behind getting fit into accessible, entertaining features and effective workouts. My unique background also enables me to critically evaluate fitness and training regimes and products, and separate fad from fab.

I have appeared on BBC Breakfast, BBC Radio 4 and Radio London - talking about topical fitness issues - and presented in front of audiences ranging from 25-700 people at workshops and events at the Science Museum, The Vitality Show and the London Marathon's Training Weekend. I've also been involved with many sport and health-related projects.

It's not all talk, though! I have a passion for running, and, to date, have completed 15 marathons (best time 3 hours 22 minutes), the Himalayan 100 Mile Race and numerous other events, including a dozen triathlons. I am a qualified personal trainer and running coach, and have helped many people achieve their fitness goals.

My writing appears regularly in The Guardian, The Financial Times, Observer Sport Monthly and Health & Fitness. I also write for women's magazines Easy Living, Top Sante and Healthy and specialist sports titles such as Cycling Plus, 220 Triathlon and Running Fitness.

I have written 7 books to date, including the bestselling Run for Life: The Real Woman's Guide to Running which has sold more than 200,000 copies and been translated into 10 languages, and the definitive marathon training book for newbies, Marathon: From Start to Finish.
