Eight years on.
One hundred miles.

Meg came to Nathan wanting to lose weight. Eight years later she has multiple ultra marathons behind her and a 100 mile finish at Ultra-Trail Australia. In her own words.

An easy weekend
Where it started

Training most days, and slowly gaining.

My goal was to lose weight. I would go to the gym most days and I would try to eat healthy, but I was not losing weight. In fact I was slowly putting weight on.

I was part of Nathan’s team doing Oxfam in 2018, and after completing Oxfam I could already see some of the benefits of doing a different style of training. I officially started training with him after that event.

“I would go to the gym most days and try to eat healthy. I was not losing weight. I was slowly putting it on.”
What was different

No one size fits all.

Nathan doesn’t have a “one size fits all” coaching style. He works out a programme specifically for me, and he helps me adjust my nutrition based on what works best for me.

The results

Weight off, and a whole sport gained.

I lost weight. I improved my fitness and strength, and my nutrition. I definitely improved my running performance. I have completed multiple ultra marathon trail running events.

I spend my weekends out hiking or trail running. I love having the energy to easily complete a 20 odd kilometre run on the weekends.

The one she’s proudest of

The UTA miler.

I am proud of lots of achievements, but the one I’m most proud of is completing my 100 mile ultra at UTA this year.

Beyond the training

Happier and healthier than I’ve ever been.

Having Nathan as my coach means it’s easy to stay fit and healthy. I’m happier and healthier than I’ve ever been.

“One of the best things I have ever done is have you as my coach. Eight years later and you are still helping me.”
Would she recommend it

Definitely.

I would definitely recommend Nathan’s coaching, because he takes the time to get to know his clients and he provides a programme and advice that truly helps.
