Peak performance custom designed for you

BODY | Run Coaching

A few questions to ask yourself. Do you:

Have a running goal but not sure how to work towards it?
Feel unsure about where and how to start?
Lack motivation when it comes to exercise?
Need a program in order to keep on track?
Want to run injury free?
Wish to understand how to incorporate strength sessions into your weekly training schedule?

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or seasoned trail runner looking to build greater endurance, I coach to build on your run performance seeing you go from strength to peaks. As a coach I am about building from a strong foundation and increasing both speed and endurance. Having a dedicated, experienced coach on your side can take your running fitness to heights beyond your current awareness.

I believe everyone can succeed at pain-free running. There are no such words as ‘I can’t run’ or ‘I can’t run because I get sore knees’ – EVERYONE can run, you just need to train consistently and correctly building strength from the ground up.

I guide many athletes of all abilities (plant-based or not) to reach their fitness potential. I can guide and help you too.

Personalise coaching + plants are your game changer

Planted Runner Coach and Athlete Amanda Meggison

As a coach, I train for both trail and bitumen running in particular newbie runners who are looking for a new physical challenge.

I didn’t really find my running stride until the age of 32 when the guilt of driving to work in peak hour made me re think my mode of transport. From this day I started running to and from work, entering fun runs and then at the age of 37 I ran my first marathon. After running marathons for a few years, I started exploring the longer 100km distances after being inspired by my late No Limits Endurance coach (#stillmycoach) and friend, Craig Percival.

I love running the city streets and beach esplanades but my true love is spending time running on the trails and in the mountains. I enjoy the social and community spirit of running and sharing my passion for goal setting, improvement and exploration through coaching.

I coach to be inspired. Are you my next inspiration?
