We want to create a global training community for runners of all levels to help them connect with others passionate about running and enjoying life. To give them a dedicated running coach and a zone to share their experiences and good vibes on the trails, tar, and track. And mostly to remember that running is about people, experiences, good vibes, and just being outdoors!

A little bit about us...
The Float Running Coaches
We’re a team of 2 dedicated runners with over 30 years and 30,000km running experience logged on track, trail, and tar.
Over the years we've completed more than 100 road and trail races from 10k all the way up to 200 miles all over the world, from local trail races, major marathons, and even managed to bag some big name event finishes to our names along the way.
Having trained for these using professional running coaches and trainers whose full time job it is to run, we found that they don’t often understand that the average person has limited time to exercise and requires hard-hitting quality training that doesn't break the bank!
We’ve also found that training smart is key to enjoying and smashing races, and we want to guide the rest of the running community accordingly.
So we set out to change the way people train, not just using our experience, but also via bagging ourselves running and ultra running coaching qualifications from UESCA to ensure that we're combining our experience with scientific data-based coaching techniques.
So this is what we offer: balanced and tailored race and distance plans accessible to all runners with focused coaching and 100% support to get you the biggest bang for your time and money!
The front runner focused on breaking into the top 10. Jimmy brings the focus and advanced running plans (and pain, hah!) needed to raise your running to the next level.

Finish at any cost, beers are waiting
After 20 years of friendship, travels, too many beers, ridiculous facial hair, and a shed load of trails, we decided it was time to put our running addiction to good use, and try bring people together the way running has brought us together!
