The book and a session with Keith has been invaluable to my running. I'm enjoying the barefeet aspect and I have increased my speed my a minute per km. I am looking fwd to further sessions with Keith to improve my running technique even further.
I didnt think only an hour could make that much difference to my running technique, but it did. Seriously - that hour changed my life!! Not only am I more efficient at running, I can run faster for longer and my enjoyment has doubled. Thank u so much. Sydney half marathon here I come!!!
Keith's training session was incredibly worthwhile. I've been running properly for about 4 months and in that time had several recurring injuries likely due to my technique. Keith took the time to completely change my style into what I knew was the proper technique but didn't know how to achieve myself. He did this using easy to understand drills and using simple language. I have not mastered running yet as I only had the session last week but in the two sessions I've had since, I can feel the improvement. Highly highly recommend having a session with Keith.

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!!
