Personal running coaching that adapts to real life

For committed runners who want to improve consistently, even when life doesn’t go to plan.

The plan is only the starting point

A training plan is useful when everything goes to plan. Coaching matters when it doesn’t.

BEAM reviews what you actually complete, considers your feedback and adjusts the next step around your training response, recovery and life outside running.

This is personal coaching for committed recreational runners—especially those targeting 10km, half-marathon or marathon events while balancing work, family, travel or an unpredictable schedule.

Rolling training built around your goals
Proactive weekly review from a real coach
Clear Green / Amber / Red training status
Sensible adjustments when circumstances change

What BEAM athletes value

Thanks Ben, was honestly everything I thought it would be. Was a lot of mental game from early on. Your advice really helped. I really stuck to the plan and the last 10km I just took it 1km at a time and knew I had enough left in the tank to keep going. It was such an overwhelming experience something I’ve never had felt in my life. Again thank you for everything, I know in myself I would never have achieved what I did without your help and training.

Thanks to an amazing running program by my coach Ben Mudie!!!

Katrina

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK @ben_mudie for helping me with my training plan for @austrunningfest half mara… I did it! PB!

Tash

Thanks Ben for being a great running coach and helping me to reach my running goals. I have learned so much about running and race strategy through Ben’s personalised training plans, extensive knowledge and valuable feedback. I am a busy working mum with two young boys and did not think that I would have time to train for a half marathon. Ben designed a great running program which helped me keep focus and reach my running goals. I ran my first half marathon In April 2018 and my second in October! Thanks Ben

Laura

Having my runs set out each week is probably my favourite thing. It’s very nice not having to think about it, allows me to laser focus each session and get the most out of it

How BEAM coaches

1
Enjoy the process
Running should add to your life. Not every session will feel easy, but the overall experience should remain positive, purposeful and worth sustaining.
2
Build consistency
The best program is one you can absorb. BEAM uses your history, goals and availability to balance useful training with appropriate recovery.
3
Adapt intelligently
Training rarely unfolds perfectly. BEAM monitors what is happening, explains important changes and adjusts the plan when recovery, health or real life requires it.
