Will Preston

Ultrarunner and general outdoors enthusiast. Will enjoys running, hiking and climbing in the British countryside and mountains, especially Scotland, with an earlier background in martial arts and parkour. His approach to training is centred on the belief that being able to move easily, without pain or apprehension plays a significant part in improving the quality of life for many people, and that body confidence rooted in learning new skills and capacities is more enduring and rewarding than that based on appearance.

A serious ankle injury and surgery in 2014 sparked an intense interest in the processes of recovery and the mechanics of running. Will self-coached his way back to fitness and two years later was back racing the 38 mile Downslink Ultra.

As a personal trainer, Will is GP referral qualified, with additional qualifications in strength and conditioning, and gait analysis, and is a UK Athletics certified Leader in Running Fitness.

He is also a qualified Sports Massage Therapist trained in injury recovery, pre and post competition
massage and neuro-muscular release (trigger point therapy).
