Professional marathon coaching from a real coach — not an algorithm. VDOT-based training plans, Garmin analysis, and direct communication. Built for serious South African runners.
AI-only apps like Runna give you a plan with no human touch. Traditional coaching platforms are clunky and expensive. WhatsApp and spreadsheets don't scale. Serious runners deserve better — a real coach, a smart platform, and a price that makes sense.
Your coach sets up your athlete profile with your VDOT, goal race, and training history.
A unique link lands in your inbox. Click it, set a password, and you're connected to your coach.
Your coach generates a personalised training week calibrated to your current fitness level.
After each session, upload your Garmin CSV for AI-powered analysis and coach feedback.
Perfect for coaches just starting out or running a small personal group.
For serious coaches managing a growing squad with full oversight.
Full-scale coaching operation for academies and professional coaches.
I ran 800m competitively through high school varsity and represented South Africa on multiple occasions. Track taught me the discipline of pace, effort and recovery — lessons that translate directly to marathon training.
After Covid, like many runners, I stepped away. Getting back into shape — losing fitness and rebuilding it — has happened enough times that I've become something of an expert at it. That experience is baked into how Run Farst handles return-to-form athletes.
I built Run Farst because every app I tried was either an algorithm pretending to be a coach, or an enterprise platform that made simple things complicated. The goal was simple: give athletes the experience of working with a real coach, without the barriers.
Join as a coach and bring your athletes onto a platform built for the way real coaching actually works.
