Are You Putting in the work but Not Seeing Results?

For years, I thought I could do it all alone.

I told myself…

“Nah, I know what I’m doing, I’m not paying for a training plan.”

“I can get better on my own. It’s not that hard.”

But at what cost?

I remember after finishing the 2012 Gold Coast 10km, I glanced at the time on my Garmin to realise…

I just ran SLOWER after training HARDER.

What went wrong?

The internet is not making it easier with a gazillion videos and training plans out there.

Which is why I started the Faster With Data Run Club.

A run club that has everything you need to smash your PR in the next race.

I’ve intentionally included my 3 key success elements — coaching, custom training plans and access to a community of runners like you.

What runners are saying about working with Dr Will

Sara, First Time Marathoner

“I honestly don’t know what I was doing before! Now, I am really enjoying having a structured plan.”

Lewis

“Good weekly structure, the speed and specific sessions were great. The training plan gave me a real sense of direction and something to benchmark against to ensure I was progressing but also running within my limit. Thanks for getting me 99% of the way to a Sub 3 marathon.”

Gareth M, IT Engineer

“My everyday life is pretty stressful, so not having to worry about what I should be doing for training is awesome.I like that you're not tied to 'traditional' ways of training, and you're always pushing to find better ways to train and race such as using running power.”

Emma C, Teacher

I ran a sub 2-hour half marathon and my first longer-distance trail traverse. Will crafts programs that are varied, do-able, fun and designed with my goals in mind. Will is personable and 'real'.

Sarah

“I’ve seen a huge improvement in my running after just a few months with a structured, data-driven plan.”

Gavin G, Newly Sub3 Marathoner!

“I wanted to make sure the time spent running was used wisely. Will has coached me successfully through numerous ultra marathons. He always sets mini goals along the way to keep things interesting from 1500m to 10km events and time trials. I'm continually setting PBs along the way. It's reassuring to know that every workout has a purpose and I always look forward to my next training block dropping in TrainingPeaks.”

Steve, Ultrarunner

"Hi Will, Just thought I'd update you on your plan and progress. It's the 50km 13-week plan. This week alone I've PB's at 1mile, 5mile, 10mile, 1km, 5km, and 10km (Twice!). Your plan is easy to follow and it's so flexible. I can run further and it's easier. I'm not feeling any fatigue even after the long runs.”

Marcus B, First Time Marathoner

“My goal at the beginning of the year was sub 3:45 and ended with a 3:44.56 for Grandmas Marathon in Duluth. Your attention to data and metrics is fantastic.”

Daniel, Half Marathoner

“New PB and first time ran a Sub 90 mins half marathon so absolutely stoked with my effort.”

Cody H, Trail Runner

“Starting to feel like an actual runner, getting down around 4:20/km… that feels quick. Can’t thank you enough Dr Will.”

Rich B, Ultrarunner

“I needed a coach who understood how to help someone post-surgery. After a relatively short time, I not only recovered without a setback, but got stronger and faster - and was able to better every distance PB of the previous ten years on my way to completing my first 100-mile race. Will has always shown an interest in building my plans around my life with a full-time job and a young family.You have increased my confidence and helped me deliver results I'll be eternally proud of.”

James H, Sports Therapist

“I like Will’s communication, structure, technology, life advice. I don't feel judged, I feel understood when I fall off the wagon.”

Ian R, Senior Engineer

“Working with Will has given my training the direction and structure it was lacking, and my running has gone from strength to strength as a result. I also enjoy understanding the “WHY” behind each workout.”

Dan, Weekend Warrior

"Firstly I just wanted to start off with a thanks. The training plan has me feeling great. I went through my race day planning for the half marathon and it worked a treat. Felt great throughout the run and had enough in the tank to make a strong push to the finish line over the last 20 minutes. Absolutely stoked!"

Gareth, Road Runner

"Over the last year the improvements in my fitness and speed have been huge. I've made more progress than I could have hoped for and I've really enjoyed working with Will. He's super knowledgeable and I've got full trust in the plans he puts together for me. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for some help with their training."
