Meet The Bristley Runner

Hi, I’m Ted!

The Bristley Runner (Ted)

I’m a UK Athletics licensed Coach in Running Fitness, with experience leading group running sessions since 2019, becoming formally qualified to coach athletes at all levels in 2023. I have a particular interest in working with runners returning to physical activity after taking time out, as well as supporting those who want to progress from unstructured running to work towards a specific goal, whether that be improving their times in shorter races or tackling a new distance for the first time.

A proud Bristolian, I’ve lived here since I was born, pounding the streets of Bristol since I took up running over 10 years ago. After spending a year doing loops of Blaise Castle Estate and the Downs, I eventually realised how much variety there was to be found in the city, branching out to run Bristol and the surrounding area’s undiscovered paths and trails.

I’ve competed over every major distance in endurance running, from 5km to marathons, as well as completing a couple of ultra marathons, but I take most pleasure from being able to share my passions for running and the city I grew up in with other people.

I offer the following services:

  • Face to face coaching in Bristol and the surrounding area

  • Online and face-to-face coaching with a number of options depending on your requirements and budget

  • Running tours of Bristol and the surrounding area for those who want to discover more about the unique history and culture of Bristol
