About Me

Hello, My name is Alex Cann and I want to bring my love of running and all it brings to you. My passion for running and the running lifestyle has grown considerably since I started 12 years ago. After the completion of my first race, I caught the running bug and have since gone further and quicker. I have developed a broad knowledge on how to stay injury free, look after my body, how food impacts performance and well-being and how to stay motivated even on dark, cold wet winter nights.

After being a successful primary school teacher for 4 and a half years, I wanted to extend my passion for running and share it with you. I want to help you lead a healthy active lifestyle whilst achieving your running goals. As well as being a qualified teacher (PGCE), I have a BSc(hons) Physical Education and Youth Sport Degree and I am a qualified level 2 running coach with UK Athletics.

There is no better feeling than achieving your goal. Whether it be a 5k, a marathon, ultra marathon or run for a charity or just to run for 30 minutes without stopping. It doesn’t matter what your goal is, what matters is that you have one. I can help you get there and feel proud of yourself!
