I have trained with Keith in Sean Williams' Squad for the past few years. He is an inspiration to all of us and a great mentor to the junior runners. I have had a one on one run with Keith around the hills of Coogee and in that short time he was able to pass on some very worthwhile techniques to improve my hill running and cadence!!!

After years of lower leg injuries and strength work, I was still a chronic over strider, wasting much energy and having to restrict my training. After reading Keith book and doing an individual session with him with my coach we have significantly reduced my over striding, excessive knee lift and improved my rhythm, all great when you are a Masters athlete. Keith has an outstanding ability to break complex biomechanical concepts down into easy to understand drills. This together with his encouraging and positive coaching style definitely makes him a 'game changer'. Thank you Keith.

In a single session Keith gave me some valuable pointers on technique that were simple to introduce into my running. Combined with a smarter training program, I've seen my times drop from 5km to marathon distance. The session was a great birthday present from my wife - perhaps you should ask yours;). [or your husband of course!]

Many of the records listed below have been broken a number of times and those in the 45+ age group have since been broken by my friend Jamie Harrison - my aim is to make the 55+ records even harder than the 50+ records to keep him on his toes - go Jamie!!
