Meet your coach

Still racing. Still winning.

I am not a retired runner who once ran fast. I have been racing road, trail and ultra for over 13 years, and I coach you with the same principles I use in my own training every week.

Every athlete starts with a slow motion running form analysis, because most runners are not held back by their fitness. They are held back by how they move.

04
Your watch uploads the run, I see it instantlyNo screenshots, no spreadsheets.
05
I see what you actually did, not what was plannedAnd your next week adapts to it.
06
Ask me a question right on the workoutThe conversation sits with the run.
07
Your whole plan is there, not just this weekSee exactly where the block is heading.

How does online run coaching work?

After you sign up you are added to the Final Surge app where your programme is loaded. You complete your sessions, your GPS watch syncs automatically, and I review your data. In Ask the Coach you ask questions inside the workout comments. In Personalised Coaching I analyse every session and contact you with feedback, plus scheduled video calls.

Do I need a GPS watch?

A GPS watch is recommended so I can see your pace, heart rate and training load. Garmin, Suunto, Apple Watch, COROS and Amazfit all work. A basic model is fine to start, you do not need anything expensive.

What distances and races do you coach?

All distances. 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultramarathon, on both road and trail. Whether it is your first 5K or a sub 4 hour marathon target, I build the programme around your specific goal.

Is there a lock in contract?

No. Both programmes bill fortnightly with no fixed term. I recommend a minimum of 12 weeks to see real results. Most athletes stay 3 to 6 months leading into a race, then continue after.

Can I speak to you before I sign up?

Yes. I offer a free 30 minute video call to talk through your goals, your current training, and which programme suits you.

Do you coach runners outside Australia?

Yes. All coaching runs through Final Surge online, so it works anywhere in the world. I coach runners across Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
