What our runners are saying

Charlie took me through me first 50km and 100 mile races. He is always encouraging and able to keep training fun. Highly recommend!

Matthew- 1:1 Coached Athlete
Great no-nonsense training and advice. Great communication and always around to answer questions. Highly recommended

Duncan- 1:1 Coached Athlete
My experience with Charles has been excellent from start to finish. His training plan was fully tailored to my personal needs, taking into account my goals, fitness level, and lifestyle, which made it both realistic and highly effective. With his guidance, I was able to smash my goals while also staying injury free throughout the process, which is something I really value given the demands of my running. He constantly adapted the plan when needed and made sure I was progressing in the right way. He’s also always at the end of the phone to answer any questions you have regarding training, which gives real reassurance and support when you need it most. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

George- Backyard Ultra Training Plan
A brilliant experience working with Charlie as he coached me on my journey to the Ultra Trail Snowdonia in May 2025. His patience, knowledge and experience helped me achieve my goals. I would highly recommend.

Charlie- 1:1 Coached Athlete
Recently ran with Charlie who guided mo on a stretch of The Cotswold way I was unfamiliar with. Logistics we all sorted and Charlie knew a lot of the history and features of the area. I’d definitely recommend Beyond Ultra for any guided walks or runs and will venture out with Charlie again soon!

I’m Charlie, a mountain athlete fuelled by speed, adventure, and rugged terrain.

From skiing in Japan and China to climbing wild peaks in Canada, Kyrgyzstan and the European Alps, trail running became my way to push limits. Racing the UK’s toughest ultras like Lakeland 100 and Wild Horse 200.

The key element to my coaching is helping athletes become more confident, capable, and resilient in the mountains.

When I’m not racing or guiding, I volunteer with SARA Search and Rescue.
