Meet Michael:husband father friendtriathleteultrarunner coach:racing the limit
BACKGROUND:
A proud father of five, husband and member of the Royal Air Force. Over the last ten years I've been on an amazing journey encountering some serious peaks and troughs both mentally and physically. From the death of my grandfather and some difficult life choices, the fantastic support of friends and family saw me take a path to target the Ironman RAF record. A first try within a year saw an 11 hour finish, with significant improvements over the years culminating in an 8hr 51 Ironman and a strong finish at the Ironman World championships in Kona, Hawaii.
Racing is not even the start of it; adventures all over the world with amazing family and friends and some fantastic skills and improvements along the way. Within this Ive coached thousands of swimming, cycling and running sessions. Taken camps into the Peak District, Shropshire and all over the UK, Tenerife, Mallorca. Coaching Individuals, Juniors, Adults, Pregnancy groups, RAF Triathlon, NiceTri and for several companies. With a strong analytical background individual online coaching became obvious but its the adventure and supporting people achieving their ambitions that floats my boat here. Certified and more importantly Qualified and experienced. Its been a pleasure and certainly aided my development as a person and in support of others.
My TeamWombles have helped me overcome many challenges including a broken back, pulmonary embolisms and weak mental health to achieve my dreams, becoming stronger and kinder and also realising that if you dare to push limits imposed by others you can achieve anything.
Eventually I'll back blog all the adventures into the mountains and various countries for my own amusement and maybe you'll find some interesting bits.
