Why Choose a Personal Ultra Running Coach?
Ultra running isn’t just about logging long miles — it takes smart planning, endurance strategy, and mental resilience. A personal ultra coach does more than deliver a plan; they guide you through the ups, downs, and elevation gains of ultra-distance training.
From race fueling to back-to-back long runs, your coaching is tailored to your goals, experience, and lifestyle. With real-time feedback and expert insights, we help you stay consistent, avoid burnout, and show up prepared on race day.
What’s Included in Your Ultra Running Coaching Plan
When you choose SportCoaching’s personal ultra running coaching, you’re not just getting a plan — you’re getting expert guidance that evolves with you. Every program is tailored to your distance, terrain, and experience level. Here’s what’s included:
- A fully customised ultra training plan, adapted weekly based on performance and feedback
- Workouts focused on endurance, elevation, fueling, and race-specific pacing
- Strength and mobility routines (if needed) to improve durability and reduce injury risk
- Ongoing review of data and progress to keep training aligned with your goals
- Direct coach communication via WhatsApp or your preferred channel

How Our Virtual Ultra Running Coaching Works
Our ultra running coaching is 100% online, giving you access to expert guidance wherever you train. After sign-up, you’ll complete an athlete profile so we can tailor your plan around distance, terrain, time available, and race goals.
Your personalised plan is delivered via TrainingPeaks (or another preferred platform) and includes structured workouts, fueling guidance, and ongoing feedback. Whether you’re using a GPS watch or training by feel, we help you build endurance and confidence over time.
We coach ultra runners across Australia — including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and regional towns — as well as globally.
Coaching Options for Every Trail and Ultra Runner
From your first 50K to your next 100-miler, our coaching services are built to meet you where you are. We offer plans for:
- Beginner ultra runners building up from marathon distance
- Intermediate athletes looking to improve endurance or elevation training
- Advanced runners chasing podiums or new personal records
- Event-specific coaching: 50K, 100K, 100-mile, stage races, and more
No matter your distance, terrain, or experience, we build the right ultra training plan. Unlike free templates, we adapt your plan weekly, provide direct coaching feedback, and tailor each session to your race goals.
