Why Choose a Personal Running Coach?
Generic training plans may work for some, but a personal running coach gives you more than just a schedule — they provide structure, feedback, and a proven pathway to success. Our coaching supports runners of all levels, from beginners tackling their first 5K to seasoned athletes aiming for a marathon PB.
A personal coach helps you avoid overtraining, stay accountable, and adapt your plan around life’s surprises. By analysing your performance data and recovery needs, we ensure you train smarter — not just harder.

How Our Virtual Running Coaching Works
Our running coaching is 100% online, making it flexible and accessible no matter where you live. After your initial sign-up and athlete profile form, we’ll match you with a coach who builds your personalised plan.
You’ll receive your plan through TrainingPeaks (or your preferred platform), with regular check-ins, training feedback, and adjustments based on your progress. Whether you’re training with a GPS watch or just starting with time-based runs, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
We coach runners worldwide as well as across Australia including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and rural towns — all online.
Coaching Options for Every Level and Distance
From your first 5K to your next marathon, our coaching services are designed to meet you where you are. We offer plans for:
- Beginner runners looking for structure and support
- Intermediate athletes aiming to break through a plateau
- Advanced runners chasing competitive goals
- Distance-specific coaching: 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon, and ultra
No matter your event or experience level, we build the right plan. Unlike free apps, we adapt your plan every week, offer feedback from real coaches, and support your goals with race-specific strategies—not generic templates.
