Rob Brown

I have been exploring wild places, having amazing adventures and competing in endurance sports for more than twenty five years.  These experiences have brought me so much happiness and fulfilment and I love helping others to experience these too.  I have spent many years sharing my passion for adventure with young people and adults from all walks of life and I am excited to move into coaching as another opportunity to help people with this journey.

I enjoy many different mountain sports, particularly running, biking, climbing and skiing; but in the last decade running has definitely become my main passion.  Within running I really value the huge variety of opportunities out there and I am a big believer that we should embrace and explore many different aspects of the sport. Some particular highlights for me have been:

Winter Steve Parr FKT (Feb 2026)

Summer and Winter Bob Graham Rounds (2015 & 2018)

Petite Trot a Leon - 300km & 28000m (2019)

London Marathon - 2.34 in 2019

Top 10 finish in Vet 40 category of English Fell Running champs (2025)

Winning ELS 2900 (in a team with Kim) - 40km skyrace in Andorra (2019)

Winning ‘Lakeland Five Passes’ - (2019)

A new 5k PB of 16.11 which I thought was now out of reach (2025) 

Competing at classic races such as Yorkshire 3 Peaks, Jura Fell race, Borrowdale Fell race 

I firmly believe that running should be fun.  We all know that to achieve big goals takes focus, hard work and discipline but also the process should bring joy and happiness to our lives and my goal is to help people strike that balance.  As a proud Dad, with a busy job, I understand the challenges of trying to train at the highest level possible whilst not sacrificing other important things in life and I look forward to helping others do the same!
