COOPAH
Pete created Coopah after losing his mum to a heart attack. This led him to severe depression. His therapy? Running.
Running gave him a purpose and challenge in life and transformed his physical and mental health. In 2020 Pete, Dan and Paul joined forces to inspire more runners who could be transformed by the physical and mental health benefits the sport can give.
Coopah’s virtual run coach app was built to help runners easily access the right training for them and find a community to engage with.
