SBR Sport Coaching.

Welcome to the Coaching page.
Have a read and then feel free to contact me on 066 236 9187 so that we can discuss your training and racing goals.

So, here is what happens:

• I look after our athletes.
• I focus on road runners and triathletes.
• We hold swim clinics, running clinics, a swim squad, track sessions, virtual rides, running camps, a Saturday long run and Sunday long ride.
• I have athletes from all over the country and overseas. Some are getting ready for their first half marathon km and others regularly get podium finishes.
• We use Training Peaks as the app that allows me to write your program and you to record your progress.
• You receive a new training program on a weekly basis.
• You get access to our Monday  and Friday Swim Squad. This does not cover Wahoo Aquatic Center access.
• You get access to our Thursday afternoon track sessions at Country Club Johannesburg in Woodmead.
• You get a weekly email with lots of news and Sport Science notes.
• You get access to a weekly zoom meeting. The focus is on Sport Science and giving you as much information as possible on nutrition, mindset, Heart Rate Variability, coaching science etc.
• Cost for 2026 – R 700 per month for single sports and R 900 per month for multisport disciplines from Feb 2026.

My Coaching Philosophy.

My coaching is based on the principles of the Norwegian Endurance Training Method, supported by decades of research and proven at the highest levels of international running and triathlon.

Rather than simply training harder, we focus on training smarter.

What you can expect.

• Build a huge aerobic engine through consistent, low-intensity training.
• Train at the right intensity rather than the hardest intensity.
• Use quality interval sessions to improve speed, endurance and race performance.
• Minimise unnecessary fatigue so you recover well and can train consistently.
• Develop long-term fitness instead of chasing short-term gains.
• Reduce injury risk by balancing training stress with recovery.
• Train using science, not guesswork.

Why this approach work.

The Norwegian Method has produced Olympic champions, world champions and some of the fastest endurance athletes in history.

Its success is built on a simple philosophy:

• Most training is performed at an easy, conversational pace.
• Hard sessions are carefully controlled to maximise adaptation while limiting excessive fatigue.
• Consistency over months and years always beats occasional heroic workouts.
• Every training session has a purpose.

Whether you’re preparing for your first 10 km, chasing a marathon personal best, or racing an Iron-distance triathlon, the goal is the same:

Train intelligently. Recover well. Improve consistently.

I look forward to having you on the team.

I bring a number of different disciplines into my coaching work. From Kinesiology studies, Myofascial Trains and Soft Tissue Release, a Sport Science diploma through the University of Boulder Colorado, a National Coaching Certificate and the Science in Sport Cycle Coaching qualification. I have written over 300 articles that can be read on this site.

Feel free to contact me on 066 236 9187 to book either a coffee chat or a zoom chat for athletes who live out of Gauteng.
