Helen is an experienced English-speaking running coach and the founder of Runner Within. At school, college and University Helen loved sports and played hockey, netball, football and athletics. After University she continued to play hockey but found it difficult to find time to train due to work commitments. She started running seriously after having a knee operation. As part of her rehabilitation she remembers running on a treadmill and completing her first post operation mile in around 12 minutes - at the time she thought she would faint. Since that first mile, over 20 years ago, Helen has completed 15 marathons (with a p.b. 3:07), many half marathons, numerous 10k's, 5k's and has taken part in team relay races. In 2018 Helen dipped her toes into multi-stage ultra running and completed the Jurassic Coast Challenge in the UK.

Helen is a self confessed 'running junkie' and an advocate of keeping fit and healthy. She loves nothing more than inspiring others to fulfil their running dreams and finding their Runner Within. Helen currently resides in Basel, Switzerland.
