Youth Track & Cross-Country
Skill-led sessions that develop speed without grinding down a growing body.
- Sprint mechanics and stride rate
- Pacing awareness through games
- Volume capped for age and growth
- Season plan around school meets
Private, hour-long sessions on the track for youth athletes and adult road runners. Built on mechanics, paced for the long term.
Twelve years ago I was a middle-distance runner with a stubborn shin problem and a coach who only ever shouted splits. I got faster anyway, but I got hurt more than I should have. That's the gap I've spent my career closing.
Most runners don't need more kilometres. They need a foot that lands under the hip and arms that drive instead of flail. Fix that and the aerobic work does far more for you.
I coach two groups of people. Young athletes between ten and eighteen, usually pointed at a school meet or a cross-country season. And adults — often between thirty and fifty — who have the fitness but not the form, and who'd like their body to survive the marathon block.
Every session is one hour, one athlete, one focus. Nobody leaves without knowing what we worked on and why it will make them faster.
Each begins with an assessment hour, so the plan reflects your actual fitness rather than an average one.
Skill-led sessions that develop speed without grinding down a growing body.
A structured build to a goal race with weekly written targets between sessions.
A single ninety-minute deep dive into how you move, filmed and written up.
Two to six runners of similar ability. The same coaching, shared between you.
Nothing here is improvised. Each stage exists because skipping it is how runners get hurt.
A filmed track session establishes your paces, your gait, and the single limiter costing you the most time.
Four to six weeks of drill work and easy volume. Boring on paper, but it's where the injuries stop.
Intervals, race simulation and pacing games pointed at a date on the calendar. This is where the PB shows up.
"He explained why my daughter kept fading in the last 400 metres, then fixed it in three sessions."
Serena R. · Parent of a Secondary 3 athlete"Eight years of running and a hard plateau at forty-eight minutes for 10K. Six sessions on cadence and arm drive and I ran 44:12. It was never my fitness."
"The first coach who told me why instead of just shouting my splits. I qualified for nationals in the 1500m, and I'm not injured for the first time in two years."
"I came back from a second child and a decade off. Gabriel started me at a level that felt almost too easy, and eleven months later I finished a marathon healthy."
About a third of my athletes started from no running background at all. The assessment sets a baseline wherever you are, and the first block is about mechanics and consistency — not speed.
Mostly on a public track, with road and park loops when the session focus calls for it. Venue is confirmed when we schedule.
Yes, built correctly. Under-14 sessions are skill and coordination led with capped volume. Enjoyment and growth plates come before mileage.
You get a written weekly plan and message access for questions. Adults on a twelve-week block also receive pace targets for every run.
Free reschedule with 24 hours' notice. Weather cancellations are always rescheduled at no cost.
Pick a time that suits you. No cost, no obligation, and no card required — just an hour on the track to see whether we're a good fit.
Sessions run at a public track in Singapore. I'll confirm the exact venue by phone once you've booked.
