Who Created This Assessment?

Hi, I’m Kev. I started running at 12 years old and have spent over 40 years chasing performance, discipline and consistency.

  • 🏃 Former state athletics and cross-country champion.
  • 🎖️ Former Army Physical Training Instructor.
  • 💪 Former CrossFit gym owner and coach.
  • 🏋️ Trained soldiers and high-performance athletes.
  • ⚡ Broken 3:00/km pace three separate times across my life.
  • 🔥 Most recently ran 2:52/km at 51 years old.
  • 📈 Currently age 52 with a VO₂ max of 59.2 and a 50km weekly running base.

What Is This Based On?

My coaching philosophy combines decades of practical experience with established endurance training principles and modern sports science.

  • ✅ Consistent weekly running volume.
  • ✅ Aerobic base development.
  • ✅ Progressive overload.
  • ✅ Speed and interval training.
  • ✅ Strength training and mobility.
  • ✅ Recovery, sleep and long-term consistency.
  • ✅ Tracking progress through pace, heart rate and VO₂ max.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned: consistency beats perfection.
