Ultra runner Jack oliver a Lake District based Trainer.

I’m Jack Oliver, a dedicated ultra runner, mountaineering instructor, and Running coach based in the stunning Lake District. My journey through running and adventure sports has been shaped by a love for the outdoors and a relentless pursuit of personal growth. With over a decade of experience in long-distance endurance running, I have tackled some of the biggest runs and climbs in the UK, honing my skills and resilience in diverse and challenging environments.

As a Mountaineering Instructor, I hold the Mountaineering Instructor Award, which allows me to guide and teach others in the art of climbing and navigating the mountains safely. I am also a proud member of the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team, where I have the opportunity to apply my skills in real-world situations, helping those in need in the rugged landscapes I love.
