Personal running coaching for committed runners who want to improve consistently, even when life doesn’t go to plan.

BEAM combines a personalised rolling plan with proactive weekly review. Your training is adjusted around your goals, completed work, recovery and life outside running.

Your plan tells you what to run. Your coach decides what makes sense now.

A static training plan assumes every week will unfold as expected. Real life rarely works that way. Work becomes busy, sleep changes, illness interrupts training, soreness appears and races overlap.

BEAM coaching starts with a clear plan, then actively manages it. Your coach reviews what you actually completed, considers your feedback and makes calm decisions about when to progress, hold or adjust.

The objective is not to complete every session at any cost. It is to build consistent, sustainable progress across your season.

BEAM coaching may be a good fit if you:

• Are already running and want more structure, accountability and coaching judgment
• Are targeting a 10km, half marathon, marathon or a season of events
• Need training to work around employment, family, travel or changing availability
• Have followed plans before but find it difficult to make good decisions when training is interrupted
• Want ambitious but sustainable progress rather than unnecessary hero sessions
• Value a long-term coaching relationship and clear explanations

It may not be the right fit if you want:

• A one-off generic plan with no ongoing coaching
• A guaranteed race result or an injury-free guarantee
• Constant or daily access to a coach
• Medical diagnosis or injury rehabilitation
• Immediate enrolment without a short fit conversation

BEAM Personal Run Coaching includes:

• A personalised rolling plan delivered through Final Surge
• A clear training direction appropriate to your goals—from a focused race build to a broader season roadmap where useful
• A formal weekly review of completed training, feedback and current context
• A concise weekly summary explaining what went well, what is being monitored, any adjustment and the next focus
• Proactive changes when training, recovery or life circumstances change
• Support with race pacing, preparation, execution and post-race review
• Communication through Final Surge and email for meaningful questions and updates

Know when to progress, hold or adjust

Your weekly review includes a simple training status:

• Green — Progress: training is being absorbed as expected and normal progression may be appropriate.
• Amber — Adjust or monitor: something needs closer attention, so training may be held, modified or monitored.
• Red — Reduce, stop or refer: a meaningful concern requires immediate action before normal training continues.

This status is about what your training needs now. It is not a judgment of your commitment or ability.

Coaching is A$75 per month for new athletes, with no long-term lock-in.

1. Submit a coaching application

Complete the short form below with your current running, main goal and what you would like help with.

2. Your application is reviewed

Ben reviews your likely fit, coaching needs and current availability. This may lead to a conversation, waitlist or recommendation that another option is more suitable.

3. Have an initial coaching conversation

If BEAM looks suitable, we will arrange a short conversation about your goals, expectations and how coaching works. This is a mutual fit check, not a sales call.

4. Complete your athlete profile and setup

Once we agree to proceed, you will complete the detailed athlete profile, coaching agreement and Final Surge setup. Your initial goals, season direction and starting plan are then prepared.

5. Begin the weekly coaching cycle

Your training begins with a rolling plan, ongoing monitoring and a formal weekly review. The first few weeks are also used to refine the plan as your coach learns how you respond.

BEAM is application-led and capacity-controlled so every athlete can receive proper attention. Suitable applicants may occasionally be offered a later starting date or a place on a short waitlist.

The current new-athlete price is A$75 per month. There is no long-term lock-in. Submitting an application does not commit you to coaching or payment.

If BEAM is not the right fit, Ben will be honest about that and may suggest another appropriate next step.

This is a short coaching application, not the full athlete profile. Tell me briefly about your current running, your goal and what you would like coaching to help with.

If coaching looks suitable and capacity is available, I’ll contact you to arrange the initial conversation and explain the next steps.

If you are unsure whether coaching is appropriate, send a general question through the contact page. If you are ready to explore coaching, use the application above.
