Kellie Angel née Emmerson (BOT, PhD, Advanced recreational running coach, Les Mills body pump instructor). Kellie has been coaching both groups and individuals for over 10 years in a range of running disciplines, including trail and road, from 5km to 100miles. She has worked with athletes at both ends of the spectrum: those simply wanting to have fun with training and beat race cut-offs, to those at the pointy end of the field, with some representing Australia. Kellie is an Occupational Therapist and holds a PhD in exercise prescription. 

This education gives her a holistic perspective on coaching with a strong focus on evidence-based practice. She is passionate about looking at you as a whole, with the belief that training is a lifestyle and all factors need to be taken into consideration for success. Kellie is an experienced elite trail runner in her own right, holding many course records, representing Australia in both Trail Running World Championships and Mountain Running World Championships, and sitting favourably in the rankings for the Ultra Trail World Tour. She is also a new mum and now has first-hand experience in returning to running post-natally.

Paul Todd (Level 2 Advanced Recreational Run Coach) has been running for over 12 years and has been coaching recreational runners in group and individual settings for over 4 years. He loves trails, road races, parkruns and ultras. He brings his experience of the highs of those runs that just ‘flow’ as well as the lows of injury to his coaching practice. He is passionate about guiding athletes to run mindfully and with solid technique so they can enjoy running well into the future. Paul is also a Primary School Teacher and, as a running coach, draws on his teaching skills and knowledge.

Paul has completed many trail, road, track and cross country races over the years, including several 100km events. He has enjoyed some podium success in the local trail running scene in Victoria in recent years, including at Roller Coaster Run, the Marysville Marathon Festival and at Maroondah Dam. He loves to feel connected with nature and completely in tune with his body.
