About us
Fifteen years ago, we met through our mutual love of the great outdoors. Since then, we’ve written more than 10 books on running and outdoor adventure, and won awards for our journalism, while exploring our passion for endurance challenges.
As well as writing, we offer bespoke, individualised and evidence-based expert run coaching.
