About FAST Running
FAST Running is a Belconnen-based running and athletics coaching practice that has been developing runners across Canberra since 1995. With a tagline of running excellence starting here, the focus is on structured, expert-led coaching that builds genuine speed, technique and confidence rather than simply clocking up kilometres.
The programs span the full spectrum of ability, from FAST Kids sessions that build coordination and movement skills in young athletes, through to FAST Performance coaching aimed at medals, personal bests and big stages. In between sit options for recreational runners, field-sport athletes wanting speed and agility, and dedicated track work in sprints, hurdles and jumps, with remote coaching available for those who cannot make every session in person.
What distinguishes the Belconnen squad is its high-performance pedigree and connected support network. Coaching is delivered by nationally and internationally credentialed coaches, and the practice partners with physiotherapy, podiatry and recovery providers, plus its own recovery centre, to keep athletes training well. With sessions held across Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden and Tuggeranong, it is a strong fit for anyone in Canberra serious about improving how they run, whatever their age or starting point.
