Anna Wilby- Lopez - Run Coach
Anna is a passionate run coach with Team Nat, dedicated to helping runners of all abilities achieve their goals. Her journey began in 2012 on a beginner’s “Couch to 5K” course, taken after having her three children as a way to get out of the house, get fit, and enjoy the social side of running. Fourteen years later, that first 5K has grown into a lifelong love of endurance sport.
Anna has been a triathlete for eight years and has completed multiple marathons, numerous Ironman 70.3 events, and two full Ironman races. As one of Natalie Lawrence’s athletes, she understands first-hand the value of structured, personalised coaching and how the right support can unlock real progress.
Driven by a love of helping others enjoy the sport, Anna became a run leader at her local running club and went on to gain her Level 2 Triathlon Coaching qualification. She has spent several years coaching at a children’s triathlon club, supporting young athletes of all abilities—from complete beginners to older teenagers.
Anna now works with runners of all levels, whether the goal is general fitness, running a first 5K, building strength and speed, or preparing for a half marathon or marathon. All training plans are fully personalised, designed to fit around real life and commitments, and supported with online communication and virtual check-ins.
