I’m in my 41st year of coaching and have coached runners from absolute beginners through to those who have had success internationally. I draw from a variety of influences – NZ and international –one of whom was legendary NZ coach Arthur Lydiard (who coached me for several years). I will be forever grateful to Arthur and other top coaches, researchers and physiologists who have shared their knowledge with me over a long period of time. I think you’re always learning as a coach. I coach a squad which is limited to a maximum of 10 runners. I also run a training session at Newtown Park year round. Just turn up ready to run at 8.00 a.m. and everyone is welcome. Contact details:
