Fred Richardson is a seasoned entrepreneur with a diverse and rich background. His journey began in the realm of IT, where he was deeply involved in startups during the mid-90s and the early part of the 2000s. With a career spanning over 30 years in the IT sector, Fred has demonstrated a keen ability for innovation and a flair for pioneering new ventures.

His entrepreneurial spirit eventually led him to the world of running, where he founded Mindful Runner. Initially starting as a running shoe shop, the business evolved under Fred's vision and leadership. Today, Mindful Runner stands as a unique coaching business, utilizing Fred’s homegrown 'Narrative-based' coaching methodology. This approach, placing clients at the center of their own stories, reflects Fred's innovative mindset, seamlessly blending his passion for running with his entrepreneurial acumen.

In layman's terms, Fred takes ordinary people like myself and exposes them to a running culture as well as running experiences far beyond your wildest dreams.  One such experience was the 3-Day Mahai Adventure Weekend where we started with a 50km Mount Aux Sources run on Day 1.  Click here for my account of how this adventure weekend culminated into a few very good business lessons.
