Coaching

designed around you

Whether you’re training for your first Marathon, exploring Trail and Ultras, chasing a Personal Best or returning to running after time away, coaching should adapt to you—not the other way around.

At Endurance Dynamics, every programme is built around your goals, your experience, your lifestyle and the person you want to become. We combine running science, practical coaching and genuine human connection to help you train with confidence and perform at your best.

WHEREVER YOU’RE STARTING,
WE’LL MEET YOU THERE

Some athletes arrive with years of experience. Others are lacing up their shoes for the very first time.
What matters isn’t where you’re starting. It’s where you’d like to go. We regularly work with runners who are:

Preparing for their first race.

Returning after time away from running.

Working towards a new personal best.

Balancing training with work and family life.

Looking for structure after years of self-coaching.

Curious about how science can improve their performance.

COACHING THAT
EVOLVES WITH YOU

Great coaching isn’t a static training plan.

As your fitness improves, your confidence grows, your life changes and your goals evolve, your coaching should evolve too.

That’s why we developed the Endurance Dynamics Performance Cycle™—a continuous process of learning, planning, coaching and refinement.

Rather than building towards one finish line and starting again, each training block helps us better understand you, allowing every decision to become more personalised and more effective.

1

UNDERSTAND

Learn about the athlete
Every coaching decision begins with understanding.
We’re constantly learning more about you through data (Metrics, KPIs), training, recovery, lifestyle, and the factors that influence your performance. That understanding continues long after your first conversation.

2

DESIGN

We build your strategy
Your programme is then built specifically around your current fitness, available training time and your goals
Running sessions, strength and conditioning work, recovery, nutrition and race planning work together as one integrated strategy, not as separate pieces.

3

COACH

Train. Learn. Adapt.
Coaching is more than delivering a training plan. It should be deeply rooted in Running Science.
It’s an ongoing partnership where your data tells a story.
We review your training, answer questions, make adjustments, celebrate progress and adapt your programme as life and goals change.

4

EVOLVE

Keep improving
Every race, every training block and every training session give us new data.
We use real data insights to refine your training ongoing, helping you to continue progressing with confidence over the long term.
Growth isn’t a finish line.
It’s an ongoing process.

Coaching that supports the whole athlete

Your programme includes far more than a weekly running schedule. Endurance running is multi-faceted, and we do not believe in lining any runner up for a race until they have all the building blocks in place.

Every athlete receives:

Personalised Training

Every session is designed around your goals, current fitness, available training time and lifestyle.

Strength & Conditioning

Running-specific strength and mobility training designed to improve your body’s resilience, running economy, movement efficiency and long-term performance.

Recovery Planning

Recovery is directly linked to driving physiological adaptations, which in turn translate into performance improvements. We treat recovery as a strategy.

Nutrition Guidance

Practical advice to help you fuel training, recover better and approach race day with confidence.

Race Preparation

From pacing and fuelling to equipment and contingency planning, we help remove uncertainty before race day.

Ongoing Coach Support

Questions, adjustments, setbacks or unexpected changes are all part of the process. Coaching remains flexible because life rarely follows a perfect schedule.

Peru Fourie

Coach Peru combines sports science, his own experience as an athlete, his experience coaching hundreds of athletes, and a genuine curiosity about people to help athletes build confidence alongside performance.

His approach has been shaped not only by formal education and endurance sport, but also by a belief that coaching starts with understanding the individual before designing an individualised programme.

If you’d like to learn more about the experiences that shaped his coaching philosophy, you can read his story here.

HOW WE GET STARTED

Before we build a training programme, we build an understanding of you.

Every coaching relationship begins with our Performance Discovery process.

STEP 1

The Performance Discovery Call

A relaxed conversation about your running experience, your goals, your lifestyle and what you’re hoping to achieve.
It’s also your opportunity to ask questions and decide whether we’re the right coaching fit for each other.

STEP 2

Runner Questionnaire

If we both decide to continue, you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire covering your training history, recovery habits, previous setbacks, lifestyle and longer-term ambitions. The better we understand you, the better we can coach you.

STEP 3

Your Performance Blueprint Session

Using everything we’ve learned, we prepare a personalised presentation exploring your current strengths, opportunities for development and the coaching strategy we believe will best support your goals.
Many athletes tell us this session changes the way they think about running.

STEP 4

Our Journey Begins

If we’re both confident we’re the right fit, your coaching begins.
Your programme is built around you and continues to evolve through the Performance Cycle™ as you progress.

What Our Runners Say

5/5 based on 70 reviews

★★★★★

“Coach Peru is one of the most committed, knowledgeable and inspiring coaches I’ve had the privilege of working with. He somehow makes you feel like you’re the only person he’s coaching.
In less than six months, I went from struggling to run 2km without stopping to completing my first half marathon. Throughout recurring knee issues, he helped me continue progressing safely while building my confidence. I trust him completely and genuinely can’t recommend him highly enough.”

SIMRANFirst Half Marathon

“Joining Endurance Dynamics has been an incredible journey. I went from weighing more than 160kg and struggling to run 100 metres to completing more than 40 half marathons and six full marathons. Coach Peru became more than just a coach. His support, knowledge and encouragement carried me through the entire journey, and everyone is treated like an athlete from day one.”

MICHAELLifestyle Transformation

“Coach Peru never just saw me as another runner. He saw potential in me that I often struggled to see in myself. If I wasn’t performing as usual, he didn’t simply look at the numbers—he wanted to understand what was going on and help me through it. Being part of the Endurance Dynamics community is like being part of a family. The friendships, confidence and memories I’ve gained through this journey are something I’ll always carry with me.”

CHARLENEEndurance Athlete

“Coach Peru has coached me from being a beginner runner dealing with shin splints and illness to finishing second female at my first marathon and achieving a huge personal best at Amsterdam. I’ve been working with him for more than two years and have complete faith in his approach. The Endurance Dynamics team and community are brilliant, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

ZOËMarathon Performance

“I started with zero running experience and, with Coach Peru’s personalised training, strength and conditioning, injury support and regular check-ins, I successfully completed the London Marathon. The personalised support throughout made all the difference, especially when dealing with setbacks. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.”

JAYFirst Marathon

“Coach Peru brought discipline and focus to my training through a programme tailored to my goals. When injury threatened my journey to the Boston Marathon and my Six Star Medal, he adapted my training and guided me back patiently. What makes him stand out is his whole-person approach. He understands that running is only one part of life, and the Endurance Dynamics community has been an incredible source of support throughout my journey.”

HILARYSix Star Marathon Finisher

“Before I started training with Coach Peru, I never thought I could push myself this far. His guidance, patience and constant motivation helped me achieve goals I once thought were impossible. At the age of 50, I completed my first 50km. He knows exactly when to challenge you and when to encourage you. I’m truly grateful for the impact he’s had on my running journey.”

MARIETJIE50km at 50

“After a series of recurring injuries, Coach Peru built a programme combining running and strength work to address the weaknesses holding me back. Over the next two years I broke my half marathon personal best and completed two 50km trail ultras. Just as importantly, I became part of a supportive community that’s a constant source of encouragement and advice.”

JULIANFrom Injury to Ultra Running

“Working with Endurance Dynamics was a hugely beneficial and educational experience. Coach Peru guided me from a serious injury to completing my first half marathon, making sure every stage of my return was carefully managed. Even after my coaching finished, he continued checking in and encouraging me. It’s a community striving to become better together.”

ELLISReturning to Running

“Working with Coach Peru has been a game-changer. Under his guidance I completed several marathons and ultra-marathons, including the Comrades Marathon. What sets him apart is his genuine care for his athletes and his ability to adapt every plan to the individual. More than a coach, he’s become a mentor and someone I’ll always be grateful for.”

WILLIAM GMarathon & Ultra Runner

“I was terrified when I first started coaching with Peru. I had little confidence, ongoing back problems and didn’t think I deserved a running coach. Through personalised training and genuine encouragement, he helped me return to running injury-free, complete two marathons and regain my confidence. As a busy mum, I especially valued having a coach who understood the realities of fitting training around family life.”

FAQs

Is coaching suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. Many of our athletes join us with little or no structured running experience.
Whether you’re preparing for your first 5K, half marathon or marathon, we’ll build your training around your current fitness, experience and lifestyle. Our goal isn’t simply to get you to the finish line—it’s to help you become a healthier, stronger and more confident runner along the way.

How often will we communicate?

Coaching is an ongoing conversation, not a one-off training plan.
You’ll receive regular check-ins, feedback and programme adjustments as your training progresses. If life changes—as it often does—we’ll adapt your training to keep you moving forward safely and consistently.

Which training platform do you use?

We use Final Surge to deliver your personalised training programme.
Your sessions are easy to follow, automatically update when changes are made, and integrate with most popular GPS watches and training devices. Strength and conditioning sessions, notes and coach feedback are all kept in one place, making it simple to stay organised.

Can you help if I’m returning to running?

Yes.
Many athletes come to us after time away from running, whether because of work, family commitments, previous setbacks or simply losing confidence.
We’ll meet you where you are today and progress at a pace that’s appropriate for your experience, goals and current fitness. Consistency is always more important than rushing the process.

Is strength training included?

Yes.
Strength and conditioning is an integral part of our coaching, not an optional extra.
Your programme includes running-specific strength work designed to improve resilience, support performance and help you tolerate training more effectively. Every strength session is planned alongside your running programme, so the two work together rather than competing for your recovery.

Can I train for more than one race each year?

Of course.
Most runners have more than one goal throughout the year. Your coaching isn’t built around a single race—it’s designed to support your long-term development as an athlete.
Whether you’re planning several races, working towards a marathon major, or balancing shorter events with longer-term ambitions, your programme evolves as your goals change.

What if I’m not sure whether coaching is right for me?

That’s exactly why we begin with a Performance Discovery.
There’s no pressure and no obligation to join. It’s an opportunity for us to understand your goals, answer your questions and decide together whether Endurance Dynamics is the right coaching fit for you.
If we’re not the right fit, we’ll tell you. We believe coaching works best when it’s built on trust from the very beginning.
