About

Michelle Maxwell is a British ultrarunner, running coach, and science writer based in the south-west of England. With over 15 years of coaching experience, she is the owner of Maxwell Coaching Endurance and a qualified England Athletics International Ultra Running Coach in the South West Endurance mentoring network. The mother of three elite triathletes, she came to ultrarunning after a competitive background in cross-country, track, and road events, with personal bests of 2:59 for the marathon, 1:20 for the half-marathon, and 37:10 for the 10K. She has since competed at distances from 50K to 100 miles, achieving podium finishes across multiple distances. Her race portfolio includes the Arc of Attrition 100 miles. She combines her role as athlete and coach with science writing, bringing a research-informed approach to both her own training and that of her athletes, and is one of a growing group of British women competing at the sharp end of European ultramarathon racing.
