Mako running has unlocked confidence in my running that has enabled me to think about my own goals in the sport, rather than compare to what other runners are doing. I feel confident that the plans and advice given are tailored to where I am on my journey, reflect my goals and current status, as well as aim to maximise my own personal performance.

In just six weeks, I’ve hit PBs in both the 5K and 10K…even while training on a helideck at sea. Callum built a plan that fit seamlessly into my demanding schedule. His personal check-ins and constant support set Mako apart.
