Is EP Swim Coaching for you?

Interested in adding swimming to your running plan?
Cross training is a fantastic way to improve your running through adding volume, increasing fitness and endurance without adding additional running days to your plan, and may reduce injury risk for some.

Looking to maintain fitness during injury?
Swimming is an excellent cross training tool to keep your fitness up while injured and if needing a break or reduction of running volume.

Training for a triathlon or open water swim?
Build your swimming skills for these goals.

Post-partum or pregnant?
Swimming offers a low-impact alternative and also provides a safe return to running. You can be provided with direction and accountability.

Meet Ellen

I'm Ellen, and I've embarked on an incredible journey fueled by motherhood, running a family business, and my deep passion for teaching and coaching. It all started when I took on the challenge of running, completing marathons, and immersing myself in the vibrant running community. The mental and physical challenges brought me immense joy and allowed me to find balance amidst my family responsibilities. Alongside running, I discovered the thrill of open water swimming, competing in events that combined my love for the water with my passion for sports. This harmonious blend of activities, coupled with the connections I made, truly rejuvenated me as a busy mum.

Through my own transformative journey and the support of others, including running marathons, I rediscovered my true self. This inspired me to merge my passions for sports, exercise, education, empowerment, coaching, and collaboration. It ignited a deep desire to help women who might be feeling lost, stuck, or searching for that something special in their lives. Thus, EP Coaching was born—an opportunity for me to provide accountability, support, education, and guidance while helping women embrace running, connect with others, and uncover their own unique paths of growth and self-discovery
