For over a decade, Robbie has worked with a huge range of athletes and abilities, as well as being focused on his own development as a coach.

In 2019 Robbie completed the MSc Performance Coaching with the University of Stirling and then went on to study for an IOC Sports Nutrition Post Grad Diploma, highlighting his desire to keep learning and improving as a coach. He is also a UK Athletics Qualified Athletics Coach (Endurance) and works with both UKA and England Athletics advising on athlete and sport development.

Robbie set what was at the time a British 24hr Record of 277.4km in 2023, in the same park that he finished third in the World Championships 8 years earlier. In between he has broken 2:30 for the marathon, 2:57 for 50km, 6:48 for the 100km and won multiple races on road and trail.

In his spare time Robbie likes to ride his bike as far as possible without falling off.
