The JK Journey

Keep the fun and adventure in training...

I've coached everything from Guinness World Records (70 half ironmen in 70 days), to international age-group podiums, and athletes running their first 5km.

As an elite athlete, medical student and researcher I spend my time mulling over performance improvements, exercise physiology and how we can use sport to improve health and wellbeing. I value people who dream big and overcome adversity, love adventure and being sustainable long-term.
