About Us

At Best Stride, we believe that running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other. We take a holistic approach to coaching, recognising that our athletes are more than just their physical abilities. 

Our core mission revolves around guiding athletes to unlock their fullest potential, both on and off the track. We are dedicated to tailoring personalised training programs that consider individual strengths, weaknesses, and life circumstances. Additionally, we provide invaluable insights into nutrition, injury prevention, and mental wellness. Our commitment stems from understanding that true athletic success is rooted in a healthy body and mind.

Recognising the unique differences among runners, our methodology equips you with adaptable resources, skills, and expertise to craft a personalised program that aligns with your goals.

Training Plans: Whether you're aiming for your debut 5km run or a personal best in a marathon, our training plans cater to diverse needs. Accessible in our training plans section, these meticulously designed programs are easy to follow and customisable to your lifestyle. We minimise technical running jargon for accessibility, providing key term explanations within each program. Additionally, we integrate strength and conditioning options to fortify your body and prevent injuries.

1-1 Coaching: Engage in personalised coaching led by our head coach, Brock Shirley. With a monthly subscription, you'll receive a complimentary Training Peaks account housing your tailor-made plans. The program kickstarts with a coaching call where you'll establish achievable, realistic goals, considering every facet of your life. Your coach will guide you through resources and setup, and you'll enjoy regular access through texts, calls, and emails. This subscription caters not only to elite athletes but also to recreational runners seeking guidance in schedule planning, eliminating guesswork in training.

At Best Stride, our philosophy prioritizes the whole individual, fostering safe, sustainable practices to prevent injuries and secure long-term, enduring results.
