Great club! It helped me achieve my running goals and was lots fun doing so.

Injured and feeling very under prepared, I contacted Joe to coach me for my 3rd Sydney marathon. Joe has been amazing! His knowledge and experience in running coaching is incredible. I never knew you could train for a marathon without tears and injuries and that there is such a thing as smart training! Thank you, Joe!

I always look forward to my sessions with the Manly Beach Running Club at 5:30am - and trust me, that’s saying something for someone who loves a good sleep in! Running with this group has completely changed how I think about training. I’m usually a solo runner, headphones in, doing my own thing. But being part of the Pinkies—the nicest and most supportive group of runners I’ve ever met - has made it so much more fun. Time flies by, even during hill sessions. And then there’s super coach Joe. I must admit, I was a little intimidated by the idea of running with a group led by an ultra-marathon champion, but Joe is super down to earth and a genuinely nice guy. He’s a self-confessed running nerd and knows pretty much everything there is to know about running. He’s always sharing tips and tricks to help us train smarter and get better. No matter what our goals are, he pushes us to give our best. He’s also been a massive help in tackling one of my biggest challenges—mindset. If you’re looking to smash a PB, get fit or as Joe would say become “accidentally awesome” at running, I can’t recommend the Manly Beach Running Club highly enough!

I have been coached by Joe for almost two years now. He has been an amazing coach and mentor. Before joining with MBRC , the furthest I had ran was 10k. Since joining I have completed two road marathons and a 50k ultra marathon, I would not have been able to do his without Joe. His experience and knowledge will be unmatched. His resume speaks for itself. The club has been huge support on my sobriety journey. I would highly recommend Joe and Manly beach running club , if you’re looking to smash your running goals. You will not be disappointed.

This club is more than just a casual run club. It really helps you to improve you running and reach your goals. It’s also wonderfully supportive. Having moved from Melbourne not knowing anyone it’s been a great way to get fit and meet positive and kind people. There is a run every day except Saturday at 5.30am. So just showing up at that time feels like an accomplishment. You’re always greeted by coach Joe who gives personalised training. He’s a seasoned ultra marathon runner with a wealth of knowledge. His positivity and support motivates everyone and he’s more than happy to have a chat and answer any running questions afterwards over a coffee. So if you’re in Manly or visiting I would highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their running and run alongside one of the loveliest beaches in the world.

I cannot recommend Coach Joe highly enough! His passion and enthusiasm for running are absolutely contagious, and his dedication to his clients is unmatched. From the moment I started training with Joe, I felt supported and motivated. Joe’s attention to detail in every aspect of my training plan was impeccable, ensuring that I stayed on track and most importantly, injury-free! What truly sets him apart is his ability to tailor the training to my unique needs and circumstances. After giving birth to my second child, I never imagined I could achieve such a significant milestone so soon. Thanks to Joe’s expert guidance and unwavering encouragement, I ran my first marathon just 8 months postpartum and completed it in under 3 hours and 45 minutes. Full credit to my program set out by Coach Joe! If you’re looking for a coach who genuinely cares about your success and will go above and beyond to help you reach your goals, look no further. He is simply the best!
