About

Hi, I’m Charlie, the founder of Unleashed Run Coaching. I've been coaching for over five years; it’s been a thrilling and rewarding journey of personal bests and epic achievements from my athletes. But hey, don't just take my word for it – dive into the athlete success page and soak in their successes!

Let's rewind to my early 20s when I discovered that running would become a focal point for me. I got serious about it, studied training methods, and even played architect with my own plans. Fast forward, and I've proudly represented Leicestershire and the Midlands on road and cross country and completed the London Marathon four times. My favourite achievement yet; I broke my lifetime 5km goal, clocking in at 17:43 at my local Parkrun.

“My favourite achievement yet;
I broke my lifetime 5km goal, clocking in at 17:43 at my local Parkrun.”

Five years ago, I decided it was time to help others find the same passion for running.

I completed the run leader and coaching course with England Athletics, and I've been coaching ever since. Running has given me so much joy and I'm on a mission to share that happiness with others.

I'm all about tailored plans that make running achievable and accessible for everyone. Juggling Rheumatoid Arthritis, two sheepdogs, and being a new mum, I get that life throws curveballs. Empathy and adaptability are my middle names (not really, but you get the gist).

And then there's Canicross.

Six years ago, I embarked on a quest to find a dog that could keep up with my active lifestyle. Enter Fluke, my Australian Shepherd who sparked my love for Canicross. I since adopted Felix, who, with my support and guidance (and his love for the sport) is excelling in the 2024 Canicross Midlands season with some top 3 finishes. More important than medals and rosettes though is the bond between dog and human. Priceless.

I'm not just here for the run; I'm here for the wagging tails too.
