How we work together.

One system. Three ways in.

Every ambitious woman has her own pace and preference.

That’s why The Edge Protocol is delivered in different levels of support—from group coaching to private 1:1 reset.

Meet Wendy

Ultra-runner. Strength strategist. Performance recalibrator for ambitious midlife women who are done taking advice to “dial it down.”

If you’re 50+ and training like it’s still your 40s — but your results have stalled — it’s not you.
It’s your playbook.

This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s a blueprint glow-up.

My mission

I help active women in their 50s train, fuel, and live like the athlete they are — or want to become.

With evidence-backed strategies, grounded support, and a serious respect for where you’re at in life, I guide women to take full ownership of their health and performance — without sacrificing progress or what matters most to you.

Because you don’t need to slow down. You just need a system that’s finally caught up with you.

The wake-up call that kicked me in the quads

For my 50th birthday, I trained for a 275-mile ultra on the South West Coast Path (if you don’t know it, it’s VERY hilly).

Trained for 11 months.
Lifted weights. Ran 89 miles in my longest training week.
Gained 7lb anyway.

Lost the weight during my 10-day ultra.
Watched it boomerang back on shortly after.

That’s when I realised:
The plan I had wasn’t bad — it was just built for a body I no longer lived in.

The midlife athlete upgrade

What actually worked?

  • More protein, smarter macros, more food — not less

  • Strategic lifting instead of hamster-wheel cardio

  • Rest days that actually counted as training

  • Metrics that told the truth, not the gossip

The payoff?

More visible muscle than in my 20, 30s or 40s.

Trail power that makes hills cry.

The confidence to show up in shorts without a second thought.

Before we start working together, my clients are often:

  • Training with discipline but not seeing the strength, energy, or body composition they’ve been working for

  • Following all the “healthy” rules but still confused about what actually fuels progress in midlife

  • Wondering if their strongest, fastest, or most capable days are behind them

  • Determined to train like an athlete in their 50s — whether that means competing, conquering a bucket-list challenge, or simply feeling powerful in their own body

Who I work with now

After we work together

My clients walk away with:

  • Muscle that shows and strength that sticks

  • Energy, recovery, and resilience that make training enjoyable again

  • Weight loss that doesn’t boomerang back

  • A fuel and training system they can trust — no guesswork, no gimmicks - for the rest of their life

  • The confidence to lift, race, or live big in their 50s (and beyond)

Why work with me

Because I live this.

I’m in my 50s, still chasing PBs, still refusing to “slow down,” and continually refining the strategies that keep me performing at my peak.

I’ve been where you are — doing the work, getting crumbs for results — and I know exactly how to close that gap.

This isn’t theory.

It’s lived, tested, and proven on real women who expect more from midlife than maintenance mode.

Behind the athlete

I’m a solo parent to one brilliant son and our adopted beagle, living in Devon since 2016 so we can be by the sea.

I wasn’t sporty at school — I chose double maths instead of PE at 14. At 29 - totally out of character - I joined the Army Reserves and spent five years as a Recovery Mechanic (think AA service for the Army), including a year of active service overseas. I had to be strong, fast, and capable under pressure — and that’s when I first started lifting.

After building a career as a solicitor, I turned 40 and signed up for the 156-mile Marathon des Sables in the Moroccan desert. Ultra running became my thing. ❤️

At almost 42, I became a first-time mum — and my commitment to health and fitness went next level. For my 50th, I ran 275 miles self-supported along the South West Coast Path in 10 days.

I’ve been vegetarian since 12, vegan since 2012, and I never start the day without a strong black coffee — preferably before the beagle decides to get up.

My core values

1. I lead with honesty, integrity, and proof.
No hype. No BS. Just real conversations and real results — built on evidence, experience, and trust.

2. I believe personal responsibility is where real change begins.
I'll give you the tools. But it’s your job to use them. This only works when you're as committed to your goals as I am.

3. I live what I coach.
I train, fuel, and rest just like the version of yourself you’re working hard to be. I’ve been in your shoes — and I still lace them up.

4. I bring my best to every client, every session, every check-in.
Because “good enough” doesn’t get you results. Precision, experience, and relentless care do.

5. I practice Kaizen: continuous, deliberate improvement.
Not just in your plan — in mine too. I’m always learning, refining, and showing up better than yesterday.
