About Pop! Running Coaching
Pop! Running Coaching is a specialist running and movement coaching service based at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, helping runners move better, run further and stay injury-free. Founded by ultramarathon runner Sam Stow, the practice centres on biomechanics and running efficiency, using detailed movement assessment to understand how each runner loads and moves.
The coaching is grounded in technique. Clients describe small but transformative tweaks to their running form that resolved long-standing pain in the Achilles, hip flexor and elsewhere, while improving speed, consistency and endurance. Sessions use video and movement analysis to give runners genuine insight into their form, and the welcoming, approachable style puts even nervous first-timers at ease.
With one-on-one consultations, small-group coaching, workshops and self-paced online programs, the service suits everyone from first-time runners and marathon hopefuls to junior athletes and experienced runners chasing a personal best. Strength work, kettlebells and circuit-style training complement the running focus, making this a strong choice for anyone who wants to run smarter, reduce injury and build longevity into their training.
