Meet Your Coach

Jack Oliver 

I’m Jack Oliver — an ultra runner, mountaineering instructor, and running coach lucky enough to call the Lake District home.

​

Most of my life has been shaped by big days in the hills. Whether I’m running, climbing, or exploring somewhere new, it all comes from a love of the outdoors and a constant drive to grow and challenge myself.

​

Over the last decade, I’ve taken on some of the UK’s toughest runs and most iconic climbs. Each long day out — whether smooth or a complete sufferfest — has helped me build the experience and resilience I now bring into my coaching.

​

As a qualified Mountaineering Instructor (MIA), I get to teach people how to move confidently and safely in the mountains. It’s a role I take seriously, and one I genuinely enjoy.

My Story 

over a decade in the mountains

Fell Fit Coaching Trainer : Jack 

My adventures have taken me beyond the UK too — from the trails of Nepal to the heat of the UAE. Experiencing different landscapes and cultures has broadened my understanding of endurance, adventure, and what it means to explore.

​

I’ve worked with people of all ability levels, helping them prepare for some of the toughest races and climbs in the UK. With my background as a Level 4 strength and conditioning coach based at PureGym Kendal and as a UESCA Running Coach,

 

I focus on a science-based, practical approach to training. My aim is to give you the support, structure, and confidence you need to grow as a runner and adventurer. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll build your skills together and get you ready for whatever challenge you’ve set your sights on.

​

Coaching, for me, is about meeting you where you’re at. Whether you’re just starting your running journey or planning something huge, I’ll work with you to create a training plan that fits your life, your goals, and your strengths.

​

I’m also a proud member of the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team, which gives me the chance to use my skills when they matter most — helping people in the hills I care so much about.
