What a week can look like

Effort first. Pace second.

Every session is written around RPE, your rate of perceived effort from 1 to 10, with paces from your own testing. Easy days stay easy so the key session can be hard. This is one example, a half marathon runner with three run days. Yours is built around your week.

TueStrengthRIR2–3
WedTempo intervals 3 × 6 minRPE6–7

RIR = reps in reserve: how many more reps you could have done. Fortnightly check-in due Thursday, 8 pm.

How it works

From first message to finish line

1

Questionnaire

Your running, your week, your goal, your history. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes and means I start from you, not a template.

2

Starting point

A short baseline matched to you and your goal, so your training starts from where you actually are.

3

Your program

Four-week blocks in the Perform app, synced with Strava. Sessions move when life does.

4

Check-ins

Every fortnight I read your answers, check your data and adjust. Replies within 24 to 48 hours.

Why physio-led

A physio who runs.

I'm a registered physiotherapist who has run 10+ marathons and 3 ultramarathons. Anatomy, tissue loading and rehab shape how I build and progress every program, and how I respond when something doesn't feel right.

  • Niggles get looked at, not ignored.When you report pain or soreness, I don't blindly continue the plan. I ask the right questions, then adjust volume, intensity, exercises or terrain, or refer you on.
  • Load that builds sensibly.Weekly increases stay controlled, with lighter weeks built in and tapers planned around your race.
  • Physio-led strength programming.Strength work chosen for runners and field athletes, prescribed by reps in reserve so it fits around your running.
  • Knowing when to get it checked.A coaching check-in isn't a physio consult, so I'll tell you when an assessment is the right call and point you to the right person.

Club programs

So coaches can coach.

For AFL, soccer and netball clubs. I plan the running and conditioning around your training nights and fixture, manage sprint load through the season, and keep it simple for your coaches to run.

Last season I ran the full preseason and in-season program for Pakenham, and both the Seniors and Reserves won premierships.

  • Pre-Christmas and Christmas break plansKeep players moving without starting January flat.
  • January to Round 1 preseasonAerobic base, repeat efforts, speed and acceleration.
  • In-season conditioningThe match is the main stimulus. Training complements it so players aren't flat on game day.
  • Up to 3 running groupsGrouped by position, age or fitness, so everyone gets the right work.
  • Warm-up and activation routinesTailored to your sport and your group.

Marathon PB · 21:49
"The biggest difference was that Jack held me back when I needed it. Left to my own devices, I always wanted to run faster, further and more often because I thought more was better."
DaniellaGold Coast Marathon, 3:58:28
Half PB · 3:13
"Jack tailored my program to my initial fitness level and built the running workouts to level up my endurance and speed."
Marty V.12-week half marathon program, 1:36:47
Busy parent
"Give it a go, trust Jack and the process. We spend so much of our time making time for everyone else. It's time to make yourself a priority again and get back to doing something you love: running!"
JoBack running, Lakes Entrance 10 km
Trust the process
"There's no beating around the bush, it's straight to the point. From the slower longer runs to the threshold intervals, every single run has its purpose and you just have to trust the process."
Nick K.Inverloch Half 2027
Busy schedule
"The training plan was put together perfectly to squeeze into my busy schedule. I came out of every session feeling like I made the most of the time on my legs without any unnecessary k's."
Nick A.10 km

On-field data
"Wearing fitness trackers throughout the season, it's shown my kms per game and high speeds are within the best at the club, as we worked on during my preseason prep."

About

I'm Jack

Registered physiotherapist, marathon runner and the coach behind Run Rogue. I started running in 2021, trained for my first marathon, and loved the work that goes into an event so much I wanted to help other people get there too.

Most running programs online have no face or voice behind them. I check in personally, I explain the why, and wherever I can, I'm at the finish line when my athletes cross it.

  1. The physioI want to help people. I love that I can use my knowledge and experience to help people get back to their goals.
  2. First marathonA disaster. Poorly planned, with limited guidance. I learnt a lot of lessons that day, and they sparked my love for running and for coaching others so they don't make the same mistakes I made.
  3. 100 km ultraA crazy idea between three mates with too much time on a long weekend. A 14.5-hour slog, and a long recovery afterwards.
  4. Getting a coachI wanted someone in my corner to guide me on the right path. Best money I ever invested: a 30-minute marathon PB in less than 12 months.
  5. Run RogueAn extension of why I'm a physio. I love fitness and training, and helping people in this space fills my cup.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do I need to have run before?

No. I coach first-timers all the time. If you're starting from scratch, we can begin with run-walk intervals and build from there at a pace your body can handle.

Do I need to be fast?

No. Your program is built from your own testing and your own goal, whether that's finishing your first 5 km or chasing a marathon PB. Beginners get the same attention as anyone else.

What if I get injured?

Tell me straight away. I'll ask where it is, how bad it is and how it feels the next morning, then adjust your training. If it needs a proper assessment, I'll point you to the right person.

No program can promise you'll never get injured, but niggles are taken seriously, not pushed through.

How long do I sign up for?

Rogue Elite and Maintenance are month to month. Rogue Apex and Apex + Nutrition have a 3 month minimum. Race teams run through to race day plus two weeks.

To cancel, give 7 days' notice. I don't offer refunds, but personalised plans can be paused (up to 4 weeks) if life gets in the way.

Can I do this with my gym program or sport?

Yes. Your running is planned around your gym days, club training and game days so they complement each other rather than doubling up.

What app do I use?

Your program lives in the Perform app. Connect Strava (free) and your runs sync to your sessions, so I can see how each one went.

How do check-ins work?

Every fortnight you answer a few questions in Perform about how training felt, your body and your week ahead. I read them alongside your data and reply within 24 to 48 hours, adjusting your plan when it's needed.

Your goal. Your plan.

The first step is my questionnaire. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Once it's in, I'll be in touch to talk it through.
