Mark Wilkins Running and Fitness Mentor

I enjoy bringing an informed approach to supporting groups and individuals in developing their running, general fitness and wellbeing. Good running form is essential for effective movement and reducing injuries and I spend a lot of time exploring cadence, a good stance, and developing strength.  I’m particularly interested in using barefoot running practices to create a comfortable gait and this often involves exercises for building up strength. During workshops and individual sessions I carefully observe clients running and make suggestions for changes. Motivation is also vital and I enjoy building up a personal relationship with clients and offering ideas for increasing their enjoyment of running.  I have raced for 40 years, am a former racing cyclist, triathlete and martial artist, and was a teacher for many years until realising I could use my professional training to share my passion. I can often be seen pushing our two year old twins in Ashton Court parkrun!’
