My Approach
Safety / Wellbeing
The safety and wellbeing of all athletes under my guidance is my top priority. Increasing your aerobic (heart and lungs) fitness is connected to living a longer and healthier life. It is also great for improved mental health. At our first meeting, I will conduct a benefit / risk assessment which will identify the specific benefits and risks of athletics training which are unique to you.
Personal Coaching
I will be delighted to train with you on a 1-2-1 basis in line with a specific training program which I will develop with you. I am also happy to do on-line coaching. I like to meet and train my athletes at locations where I can see the athlete at all times and run with them too. I can ensure that you are fully prepared for your race and can run the race with you, if you would like.
Goal Progression
I train a range of athletes across a broad spectrum of abilities and ambitions. Want to be able to run 1km? Want to improve your Parkrun time? Ready to test yourself over marathon distance? I can help you!
Injury Prevention
Minimising the risk of injury during training is essential to my approach. In my experience, injury is the biggest obstacle to improved athletic performance for recreational athletes. I take a risk-based approach to ensure the that athlete has the best chance of avoiding injury and continuing to progress.
Group Workouts
If required, I am happy to coach a group of individuals who would like to progress together. However, every athlete has different goals and abilities. I am not a Run Club!
Performance Analysis
I have worked with the local (Sydney and ACU) Universities to carry out VO2max and blood lactate testing on athletes. Typically, this can help well-developed recreational runners properly identify training zones.
