Hi, I'm Luke, a running coach for beginners.

Honesty, simplicity and integrity.
I'm Luke, a UK Athletics qualified running coach based in West End, Brisbane. For the last ten years I've worked with one kind of runner: the absolute beginner. Not elite athletes, not gym regulars, people who've never run before, or who tried once and it went badly. I coach in person, across inner Brisbane, and everything I do is built around getting new runners started and keeping them going.

Experience & credentials
I'm qualified through UK Athletics, the UK's national governing body for athletics. I've been coaching for over ten years, first in North London, Norwich and now in Brisbane, and in that time I've worked with hundreds of people taking their very first steps into running.
I've run for more than 10 years myself: three marathons, countless parkruns, and everything in between. I mention that not to impress you, plenty of coaches have run further and faster, but because I know what the start actually feels like, and I know what the middle of a training block feels like when it's going badly. That's the experience that matters when you're helping a beginner.
