About

Welcome

Hi, my name is Aston Duncan – I have over 30 years of running experience, and over this time I have been able to gain valuable knowledge on preparing the body for competition by building and implementing a healthy training philosophy that I believe will be beneficial for runners of all abilities and running history.

Our movement and lifestyle patterns when we’re not training is just as important as the training itself as they play a pivotal role in how our bodies can absorb training loads. It’s important that our training is monitored and adjusted to suit our lifestyle demands, to allow for recovery and growth, which leads to us evolving into stronger and healthier runners.

I gave birth to the The Running Guy as I became aware of the large number of runners who aren’t receiving the necessary information, resources and knowledgeable support to help manage the load and stress that is required to stimulate training adaptations. When combined with correct recovery, it allows the athlete to maintain consistency and improve on their performances in the short and long term.

Regular communication is key! To maintain strong consistent growth and motivation in your program, I will monitor and manage adjustments as required. This is crucial in maintaining the program structure so that we achieve the desired results. This furthermore allows me to assist and guide you on your journey, and really dial in and learn how you are responding to the training program in order to maximise your growth, motivation, health and performance.

So it’s time to lace up and Contact Us to join the The Running Guy crew today.
