Ania Gabb Personal Training
With over 20 years experience in the fitness industry I’ve seen my fair share of clients and also their injuries. As a runner I love how strong my body has become from teaching different styles of classes from yoga & pilates to boxing and hiit. I love teaching stretch & mobility to pass on my knowledge of how it helps prevent injuries, as well as the importance of cross training for runners. Having good mobility through practicing dynamic stretches can help ensure that all the joints of your body are moving optimally, including running.
My stretch and mobility classes consist of a mix of yoga and pilates moves, as well as basic stretches to help you build a more agile body. I will also be providing ‘marathon training tips’ for anyone running their first marathon or their 100th. Through my own experience, my clients, and knowledge, I can help answer any questions you may have from training plans, to nutrition, and recovery. To follow on I will be teaching ‘Strength for runners’ and demonstrating, in my opinion, the best strength exercises to incorporate into your training that I feel will help you become a stronger and injury free runner.
Stretch and mobility class:
Stretch and Mobility incorporates a mix of yoga, pilates, mobility, flexibility, and gentle stretching. I create a workout that helps you as a runner to move more freely and ease any tightness within the body, including hips, back, and shoulders. As well as mobilising the body, the class focuses on the posterior chain to create a stronger body and core to help ease those problem areas.
Marathon Tips
Whether you’re a complete marathon novice or a pro, we all learn something new. I will be sharing my own personal experiences, clients experiences, and knowledge, from personalised training programs, nutrition, strength, and recovery.
Strength
This class will take you through some simple bodyweight exercises to help you build a stronger body and prevent injury. We’ll dive deep into the importance of single leg work, core, and plyometric training. Available for all levels.

10:00 - 10:20 - Stretch & Mobility for Runners
10:45 - 11:05 - Strength & Core for Runners

When not running (or skipping) she works as a nurse lecturer. Cardiac care remains her passion and she delivers CPR/defibrillation training to friends and fellow runners overseas as she firmly believes everyone should know what to do in the event of being faced with a person in sudden cardiac arrest. She states ‘equipping every runner with the confidence and skills to save a life can only further enhance what is already a fantastic, positive community’.
A sudden cardiac arrest is a serious emergency and can happen at anytime. Bystanders must act quickly in order to improve the chance of survival. The skills required are quick to learn and easy to do.

Renovate Wellness
Running, especially long distance running is catabolic – it breaks down muscle! Without running specific strength training you will gradually get weaker and injuries will become the norm. Strength and conditioning training is ESSENTIAL to help you avoid injury and run faster, further and stronger and smash your running goals!
Renovate Wellness is a boutique gym set up by physiotherapist and avid runner Nicky Edwards (who is speaking at the show) and her physiotherapist husband to help support runners of all abilities to reach their full potential. Whether that be participating in their first park run, running their first ½ or full marathon, or trying to smash a new PB over a particular distance.
‘Renovate on Demand’ is our brand new online service offering physiotherapist designed exercise videos specifically for runners. Choose from a quick 5min blast to a full 45min workout. There’s a huge variety to choose from such as Pilates, HIIT, Kettle bells, Body Weight Training, Low impact Strength Training, Resistance Band sessions, Flexibility & Stretching sessions, Running Form drills and so much more!
At the show we are hosting FREE mini sessions for you to join in and experience the benefits of ‘renovating’ your body!
Timetable coming soon…
Try out the latest running shoes and see how they perform on the running track.
The Run Café, at the centre of the show, is a great meeting point and the perfect place for a community catch up! Come and meet other visitors while you relax, unwind and refuel with our selection of vegan food and drinks available to buy. Should you wish to purchase non-vegan food and snacks, these will be available towards the back of the show.
Sponsored by Steve Cram Training Camps
The Steve Cram Training Camp LIVE will be delivering a snapshot of what these fantastic coaching and training weekends offer annually. Steve will be on hand with many of the Camp regular contributors answering questions and offering advice from all areas of running training. Whatever your level, Steve’s ethos is that we can learn from the Elite’s, and the training camp weekends do exactly that in some of the UK’s most stunning surroundings. The live sessions run across both days to be announced soon.

Chiltern Physiotherapy
Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. Poor foot position can cause pain in your feet, knees, hips and lower back, as well as balance issues and poor posture. So many runners suffer recurrent niggles and injuries that could be prevented by correct foot position and biomechanics.
Specialist custom 3D printed orthotics loved by elite athletes but beneficial for EVERYONE!
Phits 3D printed insoles are the choice of elite athletes such as Lily Partridge, Charlotte Purdue, Aly Dixon, Natasha Cockram, Tom Evans, Ben Connor and Steph Davis.
Orthotic assessment with our expert Phits™ certified physiotherapists includes a gait analysis using a high speed footscan® (force platform) system that monitors the mechanics of your feet to identify any asymmetries or abnormalities, providing detailed information that simply cannot be seen with the human eye. The footscan® technology intuitively translates this dynamic data into the Phits Insole design to complement the expert knowledge of our physiotherapists and your personalised orthotics are then 3D printed to fit your exact requirements.
Whether you are a weekend warrior or an elite athlete, our 3D printed Phits insoles will help your feet adopt the correct foot position, improve your movement efficiency and minimise your risk of injury. They are protected by D3O®, the leading impact protection material, which offers maximal shock absorption, comfort and extreme durability.
Orthotics can reduce pain by relieving pressure from the painful areas. The footscan® (force platform) system highlights where the forces are transmitted through your feet while you are in motion. We are able to see areas of excessive force that can be source of your problems and reduce these forces with orthotics to prevent problems before they even happen.
Orthotics aren’t just beneficial for pain relief, they are widely used as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of injury, minimise fatigue and improve running performance.
No two feet are the same – including yours! Unlike ‘off the shelf’ orthotics, our Phits™ orthotics are specific to each individual foot, and not a ‘generic’ pair.

Fiona is an ultra-runner for Salomon UK, a strength coach, Pilates instructor and is launching a trail running retreats business in 2025. She lives and trains on the Quantock hills in Somerset, but likes long races in big mountains. She fell for ultra running when she did the Bob Graham round in the Lake District – she loved the community and it made her wonder how much further she could push herself. Since then she has had a couple of big wins in Europe, she has run for GB and NI and as also made some silly mistakes, had plenty of disappointing runs and learned a lot!
After running his first marathon at the age of 18 in 1981 and vowing never again!, Steve went on to achieve the official Guinness World Record for what many consider to be the ultimate multi marathon feat, running 1000 official marathon races in the fastest average finish time.
Known by many in the UK marathon running community as “The Godfather”, Steve has run a competitive marathon race on average every 13 days for the last 36 years and along the way has accomplished many other records & landmark achievements which have resulted in him becoming one of the most successful multi marathon runners in the world.
His motto has always been, “Never underestimate your potential, follow your dreams” and utilising his philosophy of the 4Ds to achieve that 5th D(ream).
Jeff Booher is Founder and CEO of Predictive Fitness, LLC, a health and fitness data company that uses predictive analytics to deliver highly personalized training and coaching to endurance athletes. He developed the company’s first service, TriDot, to specifically meet training and coaching needs for triathletes.
Jeff started competing in triathlons in 2002. He has completed over 60 events, including four IRONMAN, with numerous age-group and overall masters wins. He is also a USA Triathlon (USAT) Level II Certified Coach and coaches a USAT High Performance Junior Triathlon Team which is the top team in USAT’s South Midwest Region. Jeff has also been selected by USAT to coach multiple Olympic hopefuls as part of the Collegiate Recruitment Program (top collegiate recruits in the US).
Jeff served in the Military Intelligence Branch of the U.S. Army where he was a Russian linguist and also trained soldiers to exceed physical fitness standards.
Following his active-duty service in the Army, he was a systems engineer designing supply-chain-management software and served the next 16 years as Chief Operating Officer of three different corporations where he determined key performance metrics, technology, infrastructure, standards, and process to optimize quality and profitability.
In 2004, Jeff began analyzing the science of triathlon training in search of better training efficiency and results. He found triathlon coaches and athletes were being guided by philosophies and “one size fits all” approaches based on tradition, as well as some level of myth and guesswork.
But one consistency was evident. Personal data matters in triathlon training and no one was including an extensive view of an athlete’s physiology, background and current performance levels. Given this, Jeff decided to launch TriDot.
Today, TriDot is an easy-to-use, analytics-based system that takes the guesswork out of training. It leverages individual factors with comprehensive data of similar triathletes to create a uniquely personalized approach to triathlon training. TriDot’s personalization includes a performance index which scores a triathlete’s actual and potential performance ability on a scale of 1 to 100 in, swim, bike and run, as well as overall.
In the end, TriDot is a predictable, measurable and repeatable training and performance methodology, versus a belief or philosophy.
Jeff holds a BBA in Management of Information Systems from Texas A&M University. He and his wife Jennifer are longtime residents of Southlake, TX where they live with their daughter and two sons.
Father of three, Spencer Matthews founded Clean, a no-alcohol alternative to your favourite drinks, back in 2019. With stockists across the country – from Sainsbury’s to Tesco – the company launched with Clean Gin and has since expanded to include Clean Rum, flavoured Clean Gin Editions, and even canned ready-to-drink cocktails. Clean create the most authentic products in this exciting new low-alcohol category.
Currently co-presenting BBC Sounds’ hugely successful podcast alongside Jamie Laing “6 Degrees with Jamie and Spencer”, Spencer Matthews is also a familiar voice in the podcast world. He presents Global’s popular podcast, “Spencer & Vogue” alongside his wife, Vogue Williams. Since its launch the podcast has amassed almost 15 million listeners.
In 2022 he filmed a documentary in which he travelled to Everest to find the body of his brother, Michael Matthews, who went missing 23 years ago. Nims Purja and Bear Grylls also appear in this 90 minute Disney Original.
He also launched a solo podcast project, Big Fish, where he meets inspiring and incredible people from influential CEOs to trailblazing creatives. BBC Sounds collaborated further with Spencer on a new podcast “Obsessed With…” which delved into the storyline of the BBC1 smash hit “SAS: Rogue Heroes.”
2021 saw Spencer come 69th out of 840 in the Marathon Des Sables, a trail with a 50% drop out rate and one of the hardest races on earth. He has completed 5 marathons, has an accelerated free fall licence with 23 jumps under his belt and was an Ice Ultra competitor.
Spencer is a director of The Michael Matthews Foundation, a charity set up by the family in memory of his brother Michael who sadly passed away at the young age of 22. Currently, around 4000 children are being educated at schools supported by MMF. The Charity’s focus is to provide an education to those whom without help would be unlikely to receive one at all. MMF also focuses on the construction of durable school buildings, and in particular dormitories for girls – tangible assets which deliver lasting benefits. Spencer has visited Tanzania several times in the last few years to assist in any way possible and will continue to do so.
In August 2024, Spencer completed a Guinness World Record – 30 Marathons in 30 days all on sand in Jordan, raising significant funds for Global’s Make Some Noise.

Harry has been running for over 24 years, from starting out on the track and representing Wales as a junior, to finding his way onto trails and into ultra-trail racing over recent years.
He grew up in North Wales and has a degree in Sport Biomedicine & Nutrition which he puts to good use as an accredited run coach.
In 2013, Harry moved to Thailand, running around the mountains of Chiang Mai which is where his trail running journey began.
In 2016, he decided to take racing seriously again and see how far I could take things. That meant 14 races, 9 wins, course records on the trails, roads and up a skyscraper, and his first 100k.
In 2017, he started racing internationally to further challenge himself as a trail runner, and in 2019 he reached a major milestone in his running career, signing his first contract as a professional trail runner. He has gone on to represent GB in Mountain Running at the World Championship in 2022 & 2023.
Most recently, he competed in the CCC at UTMB 2024 where he came 17th out of 2,269 – making him the highest placed Brit in the race and also 5th for his age group (35-39).
Harry has built up a following on his Instagram, where he shares the highs and lows of his training to his near 14K followers.
Marc Roig is Director at Kiprun 42 House.
Born in 1984, Marc Roig’s athletic journey began with football, but his true passion emerged at 15 when he transitioned to running. Specializing in long-distance, he competed internationally in youth categories, though the senior level remained elusive. By age 25, Marc shifted to road running, setting personal bests in the half marathon (1:04) and marathon (2:18) in Barcelona. He also took pride in pacing elite female runners, notably helping Florence Kiplagat set multiple World Records in the half marathon.
In 2015, Marc moved to Kenya, joining the renowned NN Running Team in Kaptagat as a physiotherapist. His deepening involvement in the sport led to a new role in 2019 as the Elite Field Coordinator for the Valencia Half Marathon and Marathon. In January 2024, Marc became the Sports Director of Kiprun 42 House in Iten, Kenya, continuing his mission to support and develop elite athletes on the global stage.
Esmée is a fitness coach and founder of The Say Yes Club – a community all about saying yes to movement because one day you’re gonna have to say no. After being told she would never walk again, Esmée defied the odds by retraining her body to stand, walk, and eventually run. Since then, she has completed a range of challenging events, from the London Marathon to the grueling Ultra X Jordan, an extreme endurance multi-stage ultramarathon in the desert and even took part in the show SAS: Who Dares Wins as one of the first female contestants. Esmée is passionate about getting other people moving and supports many people to take on their own challenges no matter how big or small!
