Stronger Runners. Smarter Training. Built for the Mountains.
Founded in 2018, Mountain Strong Coaching is all about helping mountain athletes become stronger, more resilient, and ready for whatever the trail throws at them.
Based in Cumbria and rooted in the heart of the fells, I work with runners of all levels through fully personalised 1:1 coaching — both online and in person. Whether you’re chasing your first ultra or aiming to hit a new PB on your favourite route, your plan is built around you.
With a focus on strength, confidence, and long-term progress, my coaching combines tailored running plans with expert strength & conditioning — so you can move better, run stronger, and stay injury-free in the mountains.

Testimonials
"Thank you Maggie for all the help with S&C over the last year, my legs feel stronger than ever. I've enjoyed having a full body workout as well as the newer mobility sessions we've been doing which have been great for dealing with the tightness in my hips and shoulders. I feel that these sessions have helped me to stay injury free, kept me balanced all round and most importantly I enjoy them! Thank you so much"
