Lucy Butler is a mum of three, a Firefighter with Fire Rescue Victoria, and a passionate trail and ultra runner and coach.
Lucy came to trail and ultra running after having children, starting with a trail marathon before progressing to 50km and then her first 100km at the Surf Coast Century. From there, she discovered just how far she could take her running.
She went on to complete the Australian Ultra Series 100-mile "Thrillogy", before returning to take on the three 200-mile races that make up the Australia Ultra Series 200-mile "Triple Crown". Lucy completed Irrational SOUTH 200, Unreasonable EAST 200 and Delirious WEST 200, clocking up over 1,000km in racing in under 12 months! She placed second female in all three races.
But Lucy’s story isn’t about being an elite athlete or always knowing she could run hundreds of kilometres. She knows what it’s like to start somewhere completely new, wonder what you’re capable of, and gradually build the skills and confidence to find out.
As a mum of three and a professional firefighter , Lucy understands that running has to fit into real life. Her coaching philosophy is centred around building the skill before the volume, developing the strength, skills, confidence and resilience needed to progressively build the volume required for each athlete’s goal.
Whether you’re taking on your first trail race, stepping up to 50km or 100km, or dreaming about something much bigger, Lucy wants to help you discover what you’re capable of while still enjoying the journey.
"You don’t have to be an ultra runner to start. You just have to start somewhere."
