ABOUT Eilish
Hi, I’m Eilish.
I fell in love with running at the age of 10, and that passion took me further than I ever imagined…competing at four Olympic Games and becoming the fastest British woman in history over all distances from 5km to the half marathon, on both the road and track.
In 2016, I began coaching athletes of all ages and abilities worldwide.
Fully qualified with UK Athletics, my goal has always been to make world-class knowledge accessible to everyone. Whether you’re lacing up for your very first run or going after a major marathon goal.
What makes running so special is that it’s the only sport where you’re always chasing your own personal best. I love helping people reach those milestones, and I’m excited to now be supporting more runners than ever with Team Coopah.
