Training built on physiology, not assumptions.
Stronger Stride Coaching is online running and strength coaching from an exercise physiologist, a program grounded in evidence, and a coach who actually knows your training week.
Stronger Stride Coaching is online running and strength coaching from an exercise physiologist, a program grounded in evidence, and a coach who actually knows your training week.
A program is only half the job. The other half is understanding how you're actually responding to training, and adjusting before a plan turns into an injury or a burnout.
The foundation of every program is built on exercise physiology principles - periodisation, load management and strength training that genuinely supports your running.
Regular communication allows me to understand how you're feeling, what else is going on outside of your training and how we need to adapt the program to suit your needs. I want to understand how you respond to certain workouts, what your motivation is and how we can best work together to reach your goals.
A monthly plan built around your specific needs, history and goals, adjusted on the go.
Individualised strength training to improve performance and minimise injury risk. Gym & home-based options available.
I'm here for you! Any questions, concerns, program modifications, or if you just need someone to chat to about your training, that's me.

"You have gone above and beyond, more than just a coach who organises my training plan. You have cared, seen and supported me emotionally and mentally. Without you, and my supporters, yesterday would not have been possible. You have once again modelled to me grace, humility and humanity."
