My name is Kevin Charlton and I live in Kent, South East England and began road cycling as a serious interest in 2006 following ankle surgery.

I have completed various cycling sportives in the UK, “Mont Ventoux 3 ways in a day” and have ridden in the French and Italian Alps, the Dolomites and Andalucia. I enjoy road and cross country running and have taken part in a number of standard distance duathlons. I represented Team GB Age Group in the standard distance duathlon at the European Championships in September 2022 and June 2024. I do not have a history of competitive running or cycling and have had to apply my coaching knowledge and theory to my own training in order to obtain qualification for the Age Group Team.

I am not a full time coach: I am a qualified chartered accountant and chartered tax advisor with over thirty years experience as a tax consultant in financial services, now on a part time basis. I do have plenty of experience in balancing time between life, work, training and coaching (whether studying or providing it).
