GODDEF PERFORMANCE

Goddef Performance was established to help people push themselves and realise that limits are often self imposed. It is the product of over 10-years experience, thousands upon thousands of miles and kilograms, hours of training alone, successes and failures, and in our quiet growth.

Fitness doesn't have to be performative; it is defined by intention. Performing at your highest level is not always fun and takes time. During those times, we endure the process, suffer though, and grow from it. That is what defines Goddef.

Until the age of 19, I didn’t exercise, and would only occasionally visit the gym if someone asked me to join. I did 10 push-ups a day, and considered that enough. Then, on a whim I decided to run a half-marathon with the goal of doing so each year. I got hooked immediately and within 12-months, I’d run over 10 races from 10K to a full marathon.

Growing up and living right next to Eryri - or Snowdonia - gave me access to the best running routes I could have imagined, and running up and down Snowdon became a weekly habit. From here, I started scrambling and mountaineering, and climbing.

Fitness became an obsession, and I went from a difficult 12-minute mile, to running upwards of 80-miles a week. Fitness changed my life; it helped me getting sober, improved my mental health, and taught me that I was physically capable of much more that I thought was possible. To date, I’ve completed multiple races from 5K’s to ultra-marathons, and ran the Welsh 3000’s in under 15 hours. 

After 10 years of working in an office, and trying to balance training with work and life, I started coaching and founded Goddef Performance. I now live in Sheffield with my wife and cat and in my off time, I enjoy reading, films, and listening to as much music as possible. I am also currently in the process of gaining my Summer and Winter Mountain Leader qualifications.
