Madmule Trail UK We deliver fitness, trail running events and skills workshops. Coaching 1-1. NO ADVENTURE UNLESS

Who’s behind Madmule? Unless I demonstrate consistency. Unless….

Group Fitness with our unique 'ENGINE ROOM' programme .Build long-term strength — in body and mind.
I’m Richard, a personal trainer since 2000 and Madmule was created in 2015 as an extension to the Fitness services already provided. Most recent PT sessions are focused on run training, body transformation, health drives, and sports specific conditioning. Personal Training sessions are taken at a private studio in Poole or at your home or local green space. Over the last 20 years I’ve trained a diverse group of people, travelled extensively with professional tennis players and prior to my coaching career I served as a Royal Marine Commando, passing the course at the age of 17. Most of my own training time is focused on ultra running, my highlight thus far, the completion of the 107 mile Ultra Trail Mont Blanc. In past years I have competed at the World Duathlon Championships for the GB age group team , completed lots of ultra distance races and cross training has always remained a constant since a young age. Madmule has created and delivered a multitude of group trail running adventures. The goal is to motivate people to run in a green space, off road and where possible, off track. The flagship session is ‘Pay the ferryman’ and a common thread throughout the year has been the Madmule Full Moon � night runs. Along with H.I.L.L and trail running workshops, Madmule is developing a reputation for organising friendly, fun, adventurous and challenging trail running sessions. If you’re looking to get a set of eyes on your training to tighten up form, get a booster of knowledge or write a personal schedule to achieve your goals then contact me direct here, on Facebook , WhatsApp or via the website link. Face to face coaching that maximises competence and confidence in your training sessions. Look out for future Madmule training sessions, most of which are currently free. Madmule is ‘No Adventure Unless’
Unless I move better. Unless I get out there and do it. What’s your Unless? I can help you achieve it.

Happy New Year 🎉
Wishing you health, energy, and momentum for 2026.

Over the festive period, I have been deep in work on the Madmule website — and, more importantly, clarifying exactly what Madmule is after 12 years and 25+ years of coaching.

From elite athletes to people simply trying to stay strong enough to support family life, the common thread has always been performance, sustainability, and purpose.

So in 2026, Madmule Trail & Performance Consultancy is clear on what it delivers:

👉 Trail – for our trail community and adventures
👉 Performance – fitness, personal coaching & Engine Room group training

🔗 New website: www.madmuletrail.com

I’m also launching a weekly newsletter – Madmule Standard
Short. Useful. For everyone.

• Exercise insights
• Madmule trail news
• Motivational nudges
• Occasionally something a little left-field

👉 Sign up via the website (takes 30 seconds)

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Best wishes.

Richard
