Alfie Manthorpe
Alfie has competed in the sport for the last 14 years and has seen plenty of the ups and downs in that time. Since the start of 2020, being the creator and owner of Trackstaa, has created many opportunities to learn and speak to some of the World’s most knowledgable and experienced athletes/coaches.
Alfie has competed at a national and international level at distances from 1500m to 10k. Along with this, his passion for the sport has lead to a drive to educate himself extensively on all aspects of running performance.
After recovering from a Heart condition and countless injuries in the past, empathising with athletes who face differing situations comes natural. Because of the past struggles, Alfie sees the importance in flexability as well as indivualising training plans to the finest detail.
