THE Savvy Runner

Meet your run coaches
Being a SAVVY Runner is about improving your performance as a recreational runner through a balanced approach to training, nutrition, recovery and injury prevention. We have trained hundreds of runners with great success.
We are passionate about running and helping people achieve their running goals because we know that finding freedom in running helps people live an authentically fulfilled and happy life. Our team consists of passionate and qualified runners and coaches.
We recognise that not all people find it easy to run and by training smarter, running can be more accessible to more people. With expert input from our Programming Manager, we have created the most balanced, holistic program for the recreational runner to not only be able to run but to run faster, further and for longer.

Why choose The Savvy runner?
Run Faster
Perfect you pace
Sticking to your prescribed training paces and assessing throughout the program will help you achieve a best performance. A combination of speed tempo and long runs work together to ensure you gain the greatest benefit from your training.
Run Further
Go the distance
Working at your prescribed paces and getting your long run done each week will build your fitness and endurance. Each week you build on your distance and reach your goal of the half or full marathon for race day.
Just Run
Hit your stride
Running consistently each week will make sure you have the fitness, strength and endurance to just run. Whilst you will still have prescribed paces to train at, your main goal is to complete your three runs each week through to race day.
Quality Over Quantity
Get yourself over the line
Three run sessions a week, comprising speed, tempo and long runs. These are to be run at prescribed paces in accordance with your initial time trial and specific race goals. With a quality over quantity approach we have seen amazing results each year.
Minimise Injury
Supplement your training
Through the addition of supplementary programs you can minimise the risk of running related injury. We offer Strength and Conditioning sessions as well as a range of Mobility and Active Recovery sessions.
Maximise Performance
Finish strong
By including specific supplementary sessions and sticking to our quality over quantity formula, we know you will absolutely maximise your performance!
