Get real online running coaching to fix your technique, stay injury-free, and run faster with less effort.
Still getting injured, stiff, or stuck no matter how much you run?
At Natural Born Running, we take a smarter approach.
Most athletes were never taught how to run.
We break running down into simple, learnable mechanics - so you can move with purpose, efficiency, and confidence.
You'll learn: Posture, foot strike, cadence, and breathing.
Running isn't just about cardio - it's about control.
Our programs combine strength, mobility, and movement training to build a body that can run well and stay injury-free.
You'll build: Joint resilience, muscle balance, and movement awareness.
You don’t need a better plan. You need to fix the way you move.
Quick fixes don't last.
We help you build sustainable habits so you can keep doing what you love - for life.
You'll develop: Routine, recovery, and the mindset of a lifelong athlete.
Athletes, beginners, weekend warriors - Natural Born Running has helped hundreds improve how they move, run, and feel. Here's what some of them had to say:
I’ve been incorporating a couple of techniques on my runs and have found myself becoming more efficient - and less tensed (a more relaxed posture). This has definitely improved my overall running performance. What I really like about his coaching is - he also educates us on the shoes we wear / use to run and how that impacts our natural feet/body, which can translate to other problems down the track.

"Mick is a game-changer in my 100km run training! His passion and expertise are contagious, and he not only fixes my injuries but helps me identify the root cause and provides easy-to-follow videos to strengthen my body for big events. Don't miss out on working with him – he's worth it!"- Matt (Sydney, Aus)

These are the boxes I tick that other coaches miss:
You get a running plan built around how you move—not just how far or how fast you want to go. We focus on your mechanics, cadence, foot placement, posture, and rhythm—so you can run smoother, reduce your injury risk, and build real confidence with every step.
These are 1-on-1 form breakdowns done over video. I coach your running frame-by-frame and give you simple, game-changing adjustments—so you can immediately feel what better running is supposed to feel like, and fix years of bad habits fast.
Think speed, acceleration, change of direction, and body control. We train the stuff that makes you explosive—through fascia, reactive strength, and coordination—so you can become faster off the mark, more agile in sport, and more efficient when running under fatigue.
Even though I coach online, this isn’t set-and-forget. You get access to private video feedback, message threads, progress tracking, and personalized adjustments—so you can stay consistent, stay accountable, and never feel like you’re guessing again.
Every athlete gets a weekly structure of strength, mobility, and recovery drills tailored to their running style. We build your feet, hips, and core to handle volume and intensity—so you can run more often, recover quicker, and stop falling apart halfway through the season.
As a qualified myotherapist, I know exactly what’s going on when you mention that cranky hammy or tight hip flexor. I integrate injury history, tissue health, and movement dysfunction into every program—so you can get long-term relief without needing a weekly massage just to stay in the game.
The Athlete Who Had to Relearn Running.
Hey, I'm Mick - founder of Natural Born Running, myotherapist, and former elite rugby player turned running technique coach.
After tearing my ACL three times within four years, I realized the missing link in my recovery (and performance) wasn't more rehab or better shoes - it was learning how to run well. That changed everything.
Now, I help athletes and everyday runners move better, feel stronger, and stay injury-free by treating running like the skill it actually is.
Whetheryou're coming back from injury, chasing a PB, or just want to enjoy running again - I've got your back!
