Who I am

Hi! I’m Irina, a passionate runner and licenced run coach with experience running everything from 5Ks to an epic 110K ultramarathon in the Welsh mountains.

Running taught me that our greatest limits are often the ones we place on ourselves. My mission is to help you break through them. There is nothing more thrilling than witnessing the moment a runner smashes a goal they once thought was unthinkable. That breakthrough—where self-doubt transforms into self-belief—is where the real journey begins.

Once you understand that your body is capable of extraordinary things, your goals will change. This is my favourite part of coaching: watching runners unlock this potential and confidently set bigger, bolder, and more ambitious goals.

I've put this approach into practice ever since earning my coaching licence, both through my work with the incredible community at Tooting Run Club and in helping individual runners achieve their personal goals.

Whether you’re just starting out and aiming to complete your first 5K, or you’re an experienced runner chasing a marathon PB, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let's redefine what's possible, together.
