Emma Cochrane

EMMA COCHRANE - LEAD COACH

Running has been a part of my life for a very long time.

I was lucky as a child to have 2 active, sporty parents and it was my dad that started taking me along to his athletics club. Soon enough I was competing at track meets and running was firmly embedded in my life. I am not complete without running, whether it's 10 miles or 10k, through mud, up hills or as part of a triathlon.

I love the feeling of escapism I get when out running and it's brilliant for clearing my head and helping to put things in perspective.

I firmly believe that running is for everyone, it's just a case of setting realistic and achievable goals. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my passion for running with others.

Aswell as a running coach I am also a Remedial and Sports Massage Therapist. I firmly believe in the therapeutic health benefits of massage. I came to this profession after a year abroad, volunteering, travelling and trekking. Coming back to the UK I was enthused by my experience of natural remedies and therapies so decided to persue my passion.
 
During my time working in Run4It my passion for the kinetics of the human body, particulalry biomechanics, was reignited. It was this combined with my belief that mind, body and spirit are strongly linked, the therapeutic effects of touch and holistic approach led me to study Sports and Swedish massage.

So, what you waiting for? Grab your trainers, let's go!
