Olivia ross-hurst - founder
Hello!
I’m so glad you’re here.
Welcome to Meraki. Hopefully this means you have some exciting plans afoot! I would love to help you on your journey. It is my mission to help my athletes find not only the key to their success, but the joy of the journey. I am constantly searching for ways to bring out the best in the athlete, and I believe that no two paths to success are the same. I am obsessed with finding the key to unlocking the athletic potential we have inside us. I am committed to working with you to find the path that works for you.
My journey
My own sporting journey began with running, specifically, sprinting, which I did throughout school and university. I specialised in the heptathlon, and earned a track scholarship to a US college. I was fascinated by the puzzle of trying to excel at such a wide range of events, blending speed, power, endurance and technical elements to build the complete athlete. This appreciation of the details, AND the big picture is something I remain obsessed with. I look at the athlete as a whole, identify areas of athletic vulnerability, and work with them to strengthen the big picture.
After hanging up my spikes in 2013, I began exploring endurance events, and quickly became captivated by a new puzzle: blending technical proficiency across swim, bike and run, with endurance performance.
In 2016 I began working with adidas Runners in London, coaching and leading community runs across the city of London, and the adidas women’s studio in Shoreditch. My passion for coaching ignited, I pursued further qualifications in triathlon and track and field. I have spent the past 8 years dedicated to my craft, and I have spent time coaching, racing and learning in endurance hubs such as Girona (Spain), Boulder (US), London (UK) and Melbourne (Australia).
My specialisms
My passion is helping my athletes discover what they are capable of. Whether that is a 5km challenge or a 100mile ultra - I will be in your corner helping you to achieve your goal. I love the challenge of something new, and no dream is too big or small!
