“I have been a recreational runner since 2017 when my parkrun journey started. I began to slowly increase my distance with entering various distances including 10kms, half and full marathons but I have always done this under my own guidance and have been using the Galloway run/walk method.
​
This year I have wanted to push myself with my events, in particular the Gold Coast Marathon, and I enlisted Coach Kel to help me train for the upcoming event in July. I have been using Kel's custom online plan he set for me for the past few months with great results so far.
​
I have been able to grow my aerobic base to increase my fitness and have been able to run continuously without using walking breaks, something I wouldn't have been able to do without a great coach. In my plan Kel designed it to have me run slower and by minutes and not focus on the kms.
​
When I first started training with Kel he asked me how many sessions I can commit to being a busy mother and he has tailored my plan around my schedule with my overall goals in mind. He has been very approachable and responsive to all my questions and checks in on me every few days.
​
I'm looking forward to the next phase of my training plan and meeting up with Kel at the GC30 on the Gold Coast at the end of May and to be able to discuss the final weeks of my training plan.
​
Thank you for your guidance and I can't wait to see how my Marathon and upcoming events go."

“Kel and I met at parkrun and became instant friends! Through our friendship, I saw the passion Kel had in helping others achieve their running goals. So, when I heard of the ASICS Gold Coast half marathon in July 2019, I knew I had to have Kel coach me.
Kel’s has a decorated background in the ACC, AFP and the RAAF. This reflects his experiences in high level situations which was exemplified through his coaching.
Kel’s has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the sport of running. This further ingrained my trust in his coaching. His wholesome and holistic approach made me feel confident as I knew I was being treated not only as an athlete, but as a person.
Thanks Kel for your time and efforts in helping me achieve my goals!"

“My son has been training with Kel for nearly a year and has not only built confidence, technique and speed in his running but also loves going to training every week.
Kel brings variety, a great sense of humour and incredible knowledge to his coaching. He is encouraging and supports my son to reach his goals.
Highly recommend Kel!"

“I can't thank Kel enough for all he has done for my physical fitness and confidence. I also can't thank him enough for what he has done for professional athletes (my clients), helping them with technical correction to their running styles.
He is committed to all his clients on an individual level, and his empathetic approach makes for a comfortable pressure-free experience.
He knows his stuff, and passes on invaluable knowledge which delivers results from the early stages of your work with him.
Champion bloke too."

“Kel is a very experienced coach with knowledge across all running disciplines from sprints to long distances. Has been wonderful with my two primary school-aged children in their strength, speed, endurance and athletics development."

“Was hesitant about working with a coach who isn’t even in the same state but Kel has been amazing. The support I’ve received so far has certainly exceeded my expectations and I’m looking forward to working through a marathon training program with Kel"

“My daughter's running has improved enormously after seeing Kel.
But more than just that, she values the way he really listens & encourages her. She always feels stronger & more positive after seeing him"
