We're delighted to be partnering with Jenny Bushell, a regular volunteer and runner on the Lakeland Trails who's going to be sharing her tips and advice to help you have the most fun on race day.  Check out her regular features on our Trail Tips page.

Jenny is a running coach and guide with a wealth of skills and knowledge to share. Her running career began in 2013 as a busy, unfit and stressed-out teacher in London.  Jenny’s journey led her to becoming a Championship marathoner before she discovered the joy and freedom offered by trail running – and never looked back!

Now an experienced trail, fell and ultra runner, Jenny has completed many major Lake District trail and ultra events, as well as personal challenges such as the Bob Graham Round.   She is a UK Athletics Coach in Running Fitness and a Mountain Leader, blending coaching expertise with mountain skills and in-depth knowledge of the UK trail and ultrarunning world to help runners dream big and fulfil their potential.

Jenny offers bespoke 1-1 coaching and guided runs and race recces through Jenny Bushell Adventures, and she is the founder of Into the Hills Trail Running, home of pace-inclusive trail running experiences. Whether you’re a novice on the trails or further along on your journey you are welcome at Into the Hills; Jenny is passionate about events that welcome everyone, regardless of running pace or prior experience.
