The coaching team

Your coaches.

Four coaches. An elite runner and Olympian, a real estate professional turned sub-elite marathon runner, an ex age-group athlete turned elite triathlon coach from Denmark, and an MD who at 60 is still qualifying for Boston and doing push ups in random places for men's mental health. All of them understand what it means to train seriously around a career and a life.

Sarah Trahair-Williams
Co-Founder · Platform Development & Running Coach

Sarah Trahair-Williams

Sarah is a property professional whose career in the industry sparked a journey into endurance sport — starting with running, then discovering cycling through the JLL Property Triathlon (duathlon), and now working towards her first Ironman in Copenhagen.

Selected to represent England in her age group for both the half marathon and marathon, Sarah holds personal bests of 17 minutes for 5K, 37 minutes for 10K, 80 minutes for the half marathon, and 2:48 for the marathon. She combines this sub-elite performance level with the reality of a director-level role in commercial real estate, proving that high performance in sport does not require stepping away from a demanding career.

Currently coached by Clara and Kasper, Sarah brings both elite-adjacent athletic credentials and a deeply relatable perspective to The Everyday Athlete. She focuses on practical, evidence-based guidance — from structuring training around travel and long days in the office, to race-day execution and mindset — so that every athlete can see what is possible in their own everyday life.

Clara Graham
Co-Founder · Running Lead Coach

Clara Graham

Clara is a British long-distance runner, Olympian, and former Welsh marathon record holder who has represented Team GB on the global stage. She competed in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and currently holds the Welsh records for both the half marathon and 10K — while working to reclaim the marathon record.

As an active elite athlete targeting the 2028 Olympics, Clara brings current, real-world performance insight to The Everyday Athlete. She and Sarah work together on running coaching, designing training plans that meet athletes where they are — from completion plans for new runners, to structured programmes for those chasing a sub-20 5K, through to ambitious marathon goals.

Whether someone is lacing up for the first time or pushing for a championship-qualifying time, Clara combines world-class expertise with clear, no-nonsense coaching to help them progress with confidence.

Kasper Pedersen
Co-Founder · Triathlon Lead Coach

Kasper Pedersen

Kasper is a professional triathlon and running coach with nearly a decade of experience in high-performance coaching and talent development. After transitioning from motorsport to triathlon, he raced as an elite age-group triathlete before heart issues forced his retirement from competition in 2020. Since then, he has become a key member of the coaching team around Magnus Ditlev — multiple Challenge Roth winner and two-time Ironman World Championship podium finisher — and has guided athletes to ITU Long Distance World Championship titles.

Alongside his work on the professional circuit, Kasper has also been involved in talent development with the Danish national junior triathlon team and is currently coaching a number of sub-elite and amateur athletes over running, cycling and triathlon. At The Everyday Athlete, he leads the triathlon, cycling and swim coaching, designing accessible programmes for all disciplines so we can cover a range of sports people enjoy and participate in. His focus is on making world-class methods usable for everyday athletes — ensuring that complete beginners, time-poor professionals, and experienced competitors alike can prepare properly, build confidence, and arrive on the start line ready to perform.

Rob Hingston
Co-Founder · Monthly Challenge Lead & Running Coach

Rob Hingston

Rob is an experienced running coach who at 60 is still qualifying for Boston nearly every year, running marathons in under 3 hours 30 and competing in full distance Ironman's all while doing his day job as the MD of Origin Workspace.

Rob excels at getting everyone who meets him active and before you've finished your coffee you've probably signed up to a 5km without knowing it.

While Rob has always had a passion for endurance sports, in 2023 Rob set himself a challenge of doing cumulative press ups every day for a year (starting at 1 and finishing at 365). By the end of the year, Rob had racked up a staggering 66,795 push ups. Rob didn't stop there though, since the start of 2024 he's been doing 100 - 200 push ups everyday in all sorts of locations. Why? Because every time someone sees Rob drop down in a random place and asks "what are you doing?", he gets the chance to talk about something that matters deeply: men's mental health.

Rob is a huge believer in the power of exercise to get people together, socialising, talking and motivating each other to push further than you might think possible. As someone who likes to come up with inventive ways to challenge himself and those he meets, Rob leads on setting the monthly challenges making sure they are user friendly, engaging and something just a little different.
