Coaches
Dave
Dave is an Athletics Australia accredited Recreational Running Coach based in Canberra. He has a real thirst for knowledge, is passionate about running at all levels and is just as happy going on a 35km long run as he is going for a jog with his girlfriend, who ran a Parkrun without stopping for the first time, late last year! So, it doesn’t matter who it is, if they’re interested in talking about, getting involved in or getting better at running, Dave has plenty of time for them.
Dave finishes in around the top 15-25% of race fields, and over the last two years he has participated in events which have included competing in The Guzzler 100- Brisbane, Blackall 100- Mapleton, UT Kosci Miler and the TUM Miler- New Zealand. He has had the privelege of being slected for and completed the Coast to Kosci (240km) in 2023 and 2024. For 2025 Dave is training hard around Canberra and is shaping up to complete the Buffalo Stampede 100km before tackling Down Under 135 (217km) and GPT Miler towards the end of the year.
Sare
Sare is an Athletics Australia accredited Recreational Running Coach located in Townsville and is working full time, a mother of three and chasing podiums at marathons, trail and ultra races around Australia. Sare knows first-hand the challenges of managing a busy schedule and fitting training in to prepare physically and mentally for the things she sets her mind to. She can apply what she knows with runners of all abilities, whether they’re just starting out or looking to fine tune a training program to make advancements on their performance.
Over the last 12 months Sare’s races have included competing in her local trail series, Gone Nuts 101- Tasmania, The Guzzler 100- Brisbane, UTA 100- Katoomba and the TUM Miler- New Zealand. So, you can see she has lots of experience at many of the larger races and will no doubt be ticking off many more in the year ahead, perhaps culminating at UT Kosci where she will compete in her next miler.
