Hi, I’m Meryl! I’m happiest outdoors, moving my body, and exploring the trails with my running shoes on. I believe deeply in the power of movement, mindset and nourishing food not just for performance, but for living a balanced, fulfilling life. My coaching blends these elements to help runners feel stronger, healthier and more confident in themselves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5bacd7d5ef6163118639eb/1644945124730-VO84ZJWZUENVZUW1FEJL/image008.jpg About - My Journey to Coaching My first career was in secondary school Physical Education teaching. In 2019, alongside my training as a GB ultra‑trail runner, I officially stepped into coaching as my profession. During my leadership training, I completed Professional Coach in Education qualifications and it was here that I truly saw the life‑changing impact of coaching. I realised how much I cared about helping people overcome challenges, build confidence and live healthier, more active lives. Running coaching transformed my own life too. It helped me move from long, stressful days and constant overwhelm to a healthier balance between sport, work and everything else that matters. My physical health improved, my mindset strengthened, and I developed the resilience needed to bounce back from setbacks. This shift allowed me to perform at my best, represent my country in ultra‑trail running and build the coaching business I once only dreamed of. https://www.merylcoopercoaching.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2020-10-26 https://www.merylcoopercoaching.com/running-coaching daily 0.75 2026-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5bacd7d5ef6163118639eb/8d746ba6-354d-4b9f-b4d1-8cc9e3a87de1/SRM+-+Website+%28Sports%29+-+Top+Scroller+%2820%29.png Running Coaching - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.merylcoopercoaching.com/running-personal-trainer daily 0.75 2026-04-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5bacd7d5ef6163118639eb/789fdc40-5ede-4707-8d23-e54a2f7302c1/transgrancanaria2020-3063.jpg 1-1 Sessions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
