Our Story

Coach Kel Walker, the founder of My Run Team, had a natural talent for most sports growing up in Queensland, including rugby league, rugby union, cricket, tennis, golf, and squash.

In 2017, Kel completed the Athletics Australia Level 2 Recreational Running Coaches course and the beginnings of My Run Team were formed.

Throughout COVID-19, Kel's coaching started to increase, and by early 2022, he left his full-time job as a Sports Administrator to focus on coaching his clients, hoping to pass on his knowledge and skills to help them achieve their running goals.

Throughout his coaching career, Kel has helped numerous athletes achieve their running goals such as:

Run a Sub 2 hour Half Marathon
Run a Sub 4 hour Marathon
Complete their first endurance event (half and full marathon)
Achieve many PBs over various distances from 800m to the Marathon
Helped athletes qualify for Zone, Regional, State and Nataional Track and field Championships as well as cross-country championships.

After many years of training, research and study, Kel believes he can provide his clients with the most up-to-date information available.

So why not take your running to the next level and join My Run Team!

I have Spent 20+ years in Defence and Law Enforcement in Australia and been a Sports Administrator for 10+ years. In April 2022 I commenced coaching on a professional basis.
