You are already putting in the work.But when your plan is not built around your body, your life, and the race you are working towards, it can feel like all that effort is going nowhere.Brodie helps runners move from guesswork and frustration to clear, personalised training that makes sense.With over a decade of coaching experience and a background in physiotherapy, he builds every week around your goals, your schedule, your injury history, and how your body responds.Train with more clarity. Run with more confidence.Get coached by Brodie
Training hard. Not sure it's working?
You're putting in the kilometres. But without the right structure, effort alone only gets you so far.
| Before Ascend | With Ascend |
|---|---|
| No clear season plan — racing and training happen, but there's no intentional thread connecting them | A season plan built around your race calendar — so every block of training has a purpose and a destination |
| Turning up to key races underdone, overtired, or having peaked two weeks too early | You arrive at your key races confident, prepared, and genuinely at your best |
| Niggles and setbacks keep disrupting momentum just when things are going well | Training load managed with a physio's eye — so your body absorbs the work instead of breaking down under it |
| Life gets in the way and the whole plan falls apart | A program that bends around your life — so consistency becomes the norm, not the exception |
That's what a bespoke program does. Not a template adjusted for your name — a plan built from scratch around how you train, how you live, and what you're genuinely capable of.
About your coach
Brodie Nankervis — Run Coach · Physiotherapist · Athlete
I've been pushing my own limits as a runner for as long as I can remember — and that drive to keep improving is exactly what I bring to every athlete I work with.As a qualified physiotherapist and a competitive trail and ultramarathon runner, I understand what it takes to train hard, absorb the load, and keep getting better. I'm not coaching from the outside — I'm living the same pursuit.But what sets me apart isn't just what I know. It's how I coach. Every program is built around the whole person — your race goals, your work schedule, your body, your life. Because a plan that doesn't fit your reality won't survive contact with it.I don't just care about the program. I care about the person doing it.With a background in physiotherapy (BPhysio with Honours) and over a decade of coaching experience across trail, ultra, and orienteering, I bring a level of analysis and adaptability to your training that goes well beyond a generic plan — and well beyond what most coaches can offer.
Qualification - BPhysio Advanced with Honours, Performance Orienteering Coach
Coaching - 10+ years, 30+ individual athletes
