Who we coach

We coach runners of all abilities and from all backgrounds. Whether you come from a fitness background or are just starting out, we will work with you to develop a plan to help you hit your goals. We coach distance runners aiming to run all distances starting at 5km through to ultra marathon distances. Our athletes compete in events which range from the local parkrun, big city marathons like Melbourne and Sydney and trail ultras such as the Ultra Trail Australia 100km race.

 

“ I really enjoyed working with Paul at Beyond Limits. He listened to my goals but also understood that given my busy lifestyle I could only fit in 3-4 sessions per week. He put together a personalised plan and 9 months later I was 10kg lighter and did a PB for the 5km, half-marathon and marathon. He was knowledgeable, supportive, adaptable and had me ready on race day to run a 10 min PB (at age 42) of 2:59 in the Melbourne Marathon. Highly recommended”
