Meet Your Coach

Michael Griffin "Griff" – Brisbane-based running and fitness coach specialising in ultra-endurance and women's health.

I like pushing my body to new levels every day and seeing how far it can go, and I hope I can inspire others to do the same. I like to show people that they're capable of more than they give themselves credit for and that it doesn't have to be difficult to live a healthier life.

My coaching philosophy is to gather as much information from reading the latest research into strength and nutrition management, as well as information from other great coaches, as I can, and then blending it into straightforward training that integrates into your life.

Good coaching isn't about copying someone else's plan. It's about understanding your goals, your life and your starting point, then building a path that works for you. Whether you're chasing your first 5 km, your first ultramarathon or your healthiest decade yet, we'll approach it with curiosity, evidence and consistency.
