Strength & conditioning built for runners.
Online coaching from an ultra-runner who's raced 42 km to 320 km. Get stronger, stay injury-free, and keep showing up on race day.
Most runners don't need more kilometres. They need strength.
If you're breaking down every build-up, fading in the last 10 km of every race, or watching your quads cook on every descent, it isn't a mileage problem. It's a strength problem.
I've been there. I've raced everything from a standard marathon to a 320 km ultra, and the single biggest difference between the runners who finish strong and the ones who don't isn't talent or volume — it's how well their body holds up when the legs are tired.
That's what I coach. Strength and conditioning that serves your running, built around your weekly plan, delivered online via Trainerize, so you can train when it actually suits your life.
Runners, not gym-goers who also run.
Injury-prone runners
You've been stuck in the cycle: build up, break down, rehab, repeat. I'll help you close the strength gaps that keep sending you back to the physio.
Ultra & trail runners
Comrades, Two Oceans, UTCT, Washie, the longer stuff. Durability, climbing power, and descent-proof quads — that's what we're after.
Road runners chasing a PB
Sub-3:30 marathon, sub-9 Comrades, a first Bill Rowan. You've got the aerobic work handled. Let's add the strength that actually makes a PB possible.
Masters runners (40+)
Running past 40 is a long game. Heavy, smart strength work is the single best thing you can do to keep running well for decades.
I've been on the wrong side of the finish line too.
I'm Jarryd. I've raced distances from 42 km to 320 km, and I've made every mistake in the book — running too much, strength training too little, ignoring small niggles until they weren't small anymore.
I coach the way I wish I'd been coached when I was starting out: proper strength work, programmed around your running, with someone who actually understands what it feels like at 200 km into a race.
Everything I build for you is informed by both the science and a lot of hard-earned kilometres.

We jump on a free 30-minute call. Goals, injury history, training week, the lot. If we're not a fit, I'll tell you — and point you somewhere that is.
Your plan, in your pocket
I build your programme using my own app through Trainerize. You get video demos for every exercise, clear sets and reps, and notes on how it should feel.
Weekly adjustments
You log your sessions, I review the work completed and I adjust the plan based on how your body is actually responding — not what looked good on paper.
Don't take my word for it.
