Amy Yates

Hi, I’m Amy. I’m an ultramarathoner, trail runner, and mountain athlete with a love for pushing limits in some of the world’s most incredible landscapes. I’ve run ultras across Mexico, England, and Guatemala and climbed peaks like Pico de Orizaba. Whether you’re gearing up for your first endurance event, planning a long-distance trail run, or just looking to balance adventure with recovery, I’m happy to share my experience.

‍

For me, the outdoors is about movement, challenge, and mental clarity.

I grew up in Yorkshire, where I spent my childhood running through the countryside, hiking with my grandad, and learning to appreciate the quiet power of nature. As I traveled, I realized that no matter where I was in the world, the mountains, forests, and trails always felt like home. Running, climbing, and pushing myself physically became not just a passion, but a way of life.

My Favorite Adventures:

🏃 Running 100 Miles Through the North Yorkshire Moors – No better way to experience home than by running every inch of it, British weather and all.

⛰️ Summiting Pico de Orizaba – The highest peak in Mexico, where the altitude humbled me, but the summit made it all worth it.

🥾 Trail Running Valle de Bravo – Racing “The Fastest Mile” and pushing through rugged high-altitude trails surrounded by stunning landscapes.

🏔️ Trail Running & Endurance Sports – From multi-day trail races to high-altitude mountain running, I can help you find the best routes for your goals.

🧘‍♀️ Yoga & Recovery for Athletes – As a yoga practitioner, I’m a big believer in balancing intense training with recovery and injury prevention.
