Running Coaching in Sydney: From 5K to Marathon

Whether you're running your first 5K or chasing a sub-4-hour marathon, having the right coach in your corner makes a measurable difference. Kieran Hedley is a running coach in Sydney CBD based at Fitness First Barangaroo, with a personal best of 16:47 for 5K and 1:17 for the half marathon at 81kg bodyweight.

What separates Neurokez running coaching from a standard training plan is the integration of neuroscience. Kieran understands how the nervous system adapts to training load, how chronic stress and poor sleep impair performance, and how to build periodisation plans that let you train hard and recover well. The result is a runner who improves consistently, without burning out or getting injured.

Running coaching is available as a standalone service or combined with personal training. Sessions can be in-person at Barangaroo, outdoors on the waterfront route, or delivered remotely through online coaching with a personalised plan.

The average Neurokez running client improves their 5K time by 4 minutes in the first 8 weeks of structured coaching.
