Manly Beach Running Club

I've never run a track race but I've signed up to do a 48hr event. Please can you help me?" is how I met Joe. He had the right amount of crazy to not completely dismiss me but instead worked with me to ensure my body was perfectly trained and finely tuned to take on this beast of a challenge. In addition to providing me with a running plan

I reached out to Joe because I was overwhelmed by the amount of information that was out there regarding what a first-time marathon training plan should look like. I decided that a one size fits all" approach would not work for me so I texted Joe hoping that he could coach me. From the very beginning Joe took the time to learn about my starting point

If you're looking for a running club that will uplift your spirits, empower your running abilities, and foster lifelong friendships, this is the place for you. Their inclusive atmosphere, and unwavering support helped make me a more confident and passionate runner. Lace up your shoes and join this trans-formative journey—I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Experienced coaches, great location and always a great group of fellow members. The whole package, running, swimming and bootcamp. Whether you are trying to build a baseline of fitness or train for competition all options covered.

I joined the club nearly two years ago. Since then my whole attitude to running has changed and I now love it more than ever.Joe has so much knowledge and is so generous in sharing it. He genuinely cares about each member and is passionate about helping them to achieve their goals.I love seeing people join and within weeks watching the changes occur as they become fitter and achieve things they never thought possible.Joe has created a supportive atmosphere that encourages all levels of runners and the camaraderie is so wonderful.I ran my first ultra with Joe and felt amazing. He coached me through, the run was one of the best days of my life and I felt great the whole way thanks to Joe’s coaching.Highly recommend this club! For the daily sessions or online coaching.

Manly Beach Running Club was the something I was missing from my running training. Consistent running, a variety of sessions and expert guidance from Coach Joe Ward got my 5km down from 28 minutes to 23 and a 5 hour 15 minute Marathon down to 4 hours 43 minutes.

Been running with Joe since August 2022, and started out running 10km in 56 minutes to running 10km in 44 minutes. Also got me wanting to go back and compete at a higher level. So highly recommended MBRC weather your just trying to socialise and get fit, or trying to run competitively.

Motivating, encouraging and inspiring - Coach Joe is always making our training sessions fun. Mixing it up today with a great run around Shelly beach and north head taking in the sunshine and gorgeous views.

Is the perfect way to improve and stay motivated. Joe is always kind and available, he helped me to train for my first marathon. He made all the process fun and I got better every week.Thank you!!
