We're super excited to be introducing you to ONI's new run coach, Bridget! 😈 With an impressive list of athletic achievements, including being the first person ever to complete all of NZ's 11 great walks in 11 days, Bridget brings a wealth of experience to help runners of all levels.
Her specialties include:
◼️ Ultra running
◼️ Half and full marathons
◼️ Triathlons
"My background as a researcher and academic meant I dove into all the literature I could find and I became a certified trail and ultra run coach. I sharpened my understanding of biomechanics, movement, and endurance systems, and built a practice around helping people run smarter, cleaner and freer.
There is still so much to learn about endurance sports, particularly for female athletes. Because of this, I'm constantly absorbing all that I can around the sports. I believe that running and coaching is best approached as both a science and an art.
My coaching considers all aspects of training, recovery, nutrition, and life, to help you achieve your best. I want to help people find adventure, enjoyment, and empowerment through running, and to have a lot of fun along the way."
