“From my first marathon, ultra marathon to 24 hour endurance event, Jo has provided me with invaluable guidance, support and motivation. There was never a time I doubted my ability to take on any of these challenges thanks to Jo’s coaching. Jo’s ability to focus on a positive mindset made the impossible possible, I will forever be grateful for this.  Who knows what the next challenge will be! It goes without saying, Jo is an absolute beacon of inspiration and positivity.  The world needs more Jo’s in it!.”

I found the coaching very helpful in aiding my recovery from the position I was in. After losing everything including my job, home, marriage and lacking confidence, motivation and self-esteem, I needed to regroup and get my life back up and running. I also needed to regain my love for running ultras which has returned and gives me a better focus. It has also helped me find my new partner and assists me in looking after her

Having not run for over 8 years, at the tender age of 54 years, I decided in January last year to run The Great North Run half marathon in September last year. I enlisted the support of Jo, a tried and trusted expert runner to get me over the line. We met religiously twice a week and slowly built up from a mile to eventually 10 miles on a Saturday morning. Jo was patient, positive and always there with a non confrontational and supportive approach. Even on my worst days, I went because she would always be there with a smile and her words of wisdom to get me through the run, always knowing that I would feel amazing once I had finished. If you are looking for a compassionate, resilient and expert runner to coach you to your optimum fitness, Jo is your girl!

Joanne is an amazing Coach, she has helped me so much. She has made me live my life again, by doing this I love playing music, she gives me hope and confidence everyday and is such a great person, I would say please let her be your coach, thank you so much Joanne

As a former military man and having ran my own way for years I thought I knew it all, I was wrong. Jo helped me break down the mental side of ultra running and look at it from a different perspective. This helped me return to the Lakes and complete a race I had previously failed.

Jo has been amazing and such good support she helped me realise what I wanted to achieve and how I was going to do that, I’ve had many health issues over the years and Jo has coached me through them every step of the way, she has provided support in both my business and personal life, she has helped me achieve things that i didn’t believe were possible, Jo was always there to give me a guiding hand and she helped me achieve my first 5k. Thanks Jo x.

Joanne has been able to unlock answers that I did not know were there. The sessions just flowed and without realising I was able to unpick some beliefs that were untrue. Joanne was able to help me to find a step by step goal that was achievable. The coaching conversations were insightful and supportive but pushed me to challenge myself. I am surprised how quickly we were able to find the answers at the start it was hard to know what I wanted to do with my future career when I am content in my current role. Helpful exploratory open questions were used to find the answers. The coaching sessions were a joy and I looked forward to them each time. Joanne has a pleasant approachable dynamic manner and her delight in coaching shines through. I hope Joanne continues to use her fabulous creativity in her coaching sessions with others.

This was a really valuable session for me Jo, thank you. By helping me to revisit things it really helped me to feel confident that I can achieve a sense of being in the moment and feeling holiday ready my hope is that I can then apply this beyond my holiday and utilise the strategies at other time when needed. I feel that you are really skilled in being able to draw things out of me and I feel really comfortable chatting to you about anything.
