What Our Runners Say
5/5 based on 54 reviews.
Peru is a fantastic coach and really invests time into his athletes, tailoring programmes to personal circumstances.
His strength and conditioning programme, alongside the running programme that he had devised, allowed me to see past previous injuries and build confidence in my body which enabled me to comfortably achieve a sub 4 hour marathon in my first attempt over that distance.
Peru has created an amazing group that supports and encourages one another to achieve their goals, and I would whole heartedly recommend him and Endurance Dynamics to anyone looking to run half marathons, marathons and ultra marathons in the future.
Coach Peru is just wonderful! He is holistic & motivating in his approach to getting you running fit and achieving your goals (& without injury through proper training + knowledge!).
He’s incredibly supportive and really drives belief that you can achieve so much more.
Endurance Dynamics helped me achieve my fastest ever marathon PB post having 2nd baby (c-section too) after trying many years to reach my goal. Endurance has also a fantastic community & team spirit with other runners to inspire you and support you.
Highly recommend to any runner Endurance Dynamics & Coach Peru!

Completed Tokyo marathon
Tokyo was my first marathon working with Endurance Dynamics. Coach Peru tailored my programme most weeks to get the best out of me. When I was injured for the last 6 weeks he was amazing, adapting my daily routine to various non running activities and got me to the start line.
I would not have completed the Tokyo marathon without him!

A Life-Changing Coach and an Even Better Human
Working with Coach Peru has genuinely changed my life. When I first came to him, I’d only recently started running and had already managed to give myself mild meniscus tears in both knees. I’d just seen a physio and was nervous, unsure if this whole running thing was even right for me. My only goal was to complete a marathon—just one—and to do it safely, in memory of my mum who passed away from ovarian cancer.
What happened over the months that followed went far beyond anything I thought was possible.
Not only did Coach Peru get me to that marathon finish line pain-free, but under his guidance, I didn’t have a single knee issue again. More than that, I’ve become a runner—not just someone who runs, but someone who loves running. It’s now a core part of who I am, and that transformation is entirely thanks to Coach Peru.
From day one, he brought not just motivation and structure, but heart and science. He knew when to push and when to pull back. He reminded me to train smart, to rest when needed, and to keep my “why” front of mind. When things were tough, he often told me to think of my mum. That grounded me. That kept me going. He got it.
He’s a scientist at heart, always measuring, adjusting, fine-tuning—and it shows in the results. Within just a few months of working together, I took 12 minutes off my half marathon time. That still feels insane to say. But somehow, Coach saw that potential before I ever did.
He’s not just a coach—he’s a friend, a mentor, and a genuinely exceptional human being. He’ll meet you where you are, help you train with intelligence and purpose, and make the journey meaningful.
If you’re even remotely considering working with him—just do it. Have the call. You won’t be disappointed. He doesn’t just build better runners; he helps people find strength, joy, and purpose through the process.
I feel so lucky to have found him, and I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything.

Trained for Istanbul and London marathons
I had trained with Coach Peru for two marathons now. Initially just thought I would work with him for my first marathon at Istanbul but training had gone so well I continued to train with him for my second marathon block for London.
Trust the process and he will get you to your goals/targets safely. Great passionate coach!

Second sub-3-hour marathon, half marathon PB 1:23
I’ve been working with Peru for just over a year, and I’m incredibly grateful for the guidance and support he provided throughout that time. When we started working together, I was coming off a tough calf injury and in the middle of a rehab phase. Peru approached it with care, patience, and a clear plan — gradually rebuilding my strength and fitness the right way.
Within six months, I ran my second sub-3-hour marathon and set a new PB — something I wouldn’t have imagined possible at the start. The following year, I hit a half marathon PB of 1:23 and followed it up with another strong marathon performance, despite challenging race-day conditions. The build-up to that race was one of the most consistent and well-structured blocks I’ve had, and a huge credit to Peru’s thoughtful planning.
What really stood out was his attention to detail and his genuine commitment to the athletes he works with. He’s not just focused on the numbers — he takes the time to understand your goals, your lifestyle, and how to get the best out of you in a sustainable way. I’d highly recommend Peru to any runner looking for smart, tailored coaching and long-term progression.

Achieved half marathon time goal
I have enjoyed training under the guidance of Coach Peru. He is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and supportive.
He provided great advice, structure, and routine that helped me ultimately achieve my half marathon time goal.
Would highly recommend.

Prepared for Tokyo marathon
I’ve been working with coach Peru and the team for the past 5 months, preparing for my marathon in Tokyo.
Peru has been instrumental to my progress over this time and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to step up their running progress.

2 sub-3 marathons
Peru and I have been working together for the last 2 years. When we started, I had run a couple half marathons and wanted to attempt my first marathon.
Getting professional marathon coaching from him was one of the best decisions I could have made for my running!
With his guidance, I have been able to run 2 sub-3 marathons, something I would have never thought possible when we started.
Peru is both a professional and personal coach, making him extremely easy and enjoyable to work with. He has a structured approach to helping his athletes achieve their goals. His plans are easy to follow with the use of an app. He regularly checks in with his athletes (weekly chat exchanges and calls) to know exactly how the training is going and can quickly adapt when necessary. Peru always prioritizes the wellbeing of his athletes, helping to avoid running injuries. When they do arise, like it did for me, he was able to rehabilitate my injury and get me back to my best!
I can wholeheartedly recommend Peru’s services to those wanting to take their running to the next level.
Thank you for all you do Peru!

Improved target times, fitter than ever
Working with Coach Peru has been eye opening. The intelligence in the workout plans has been so impressive and by simply following the given plan and giving feedback on how my body is feeling, my target times have tumbled and I am fitter than ever. This has been achieved in just a few months too.
Much like all of the other 5* reviews, there isn’t much more I can add to indicate the value in these programs but whether you want to simply achieve a target like running a marathon, or you want to improve on one like running below a certain time. I couldn’t have any more faith in Coach Peru getting you there.
The plans aren’t generic, they are detailed and personal to you based on a variety of stats and 1 on 1 conversations.
A lot of work goes into them and he is available 7 days a week!
If you take accountability and show up, he will do the rest!

Progress in 9 months
Where to start eh? I have been working with Coach Peru Fourie and Endurance dynamics for 9 months now. I never thought I would have made this much progress in such a short amount of time.
This company and the coaches are great, if you apply what they say and listen you will go very far under their guidance, and if you are honest with them and yourself you will go even further.
I look forward to our continued partnership and would recommend this company and coaches to anyone looking to improve and make progress with their Running/Endurance Journeys.

Transformed running approach
I signed up with Coach Peru and team a few months ago as I wanted to take my running from ‘very amateur’ to something a bit more accomplished! I didn’t really know what to expect but the whole process has left me completely transformed in terms of how I approach and think about running – from the everyday runs I do to how I prepare for events.
Throughout, Coach Peru has been incredibly patient with my amateureness and has taught me rather than just prescribed – always explaining the science and reasoning. Ultimately, the team have build a really warm and supportive running community which is a delight to be part of. Strongly recommended for anyone looking to up their running game. Thank you Coach!

Half marathon, marathon, potential ultra 2025
I’ve been working now with Peru for about 8 months. As someone who had never run more than 5km on the ‘odd occasion’, and with a relatively limited ambition of running a bit further without knee pain(!), the change in my running in this short period has been nothing short of astonishing.
It’s been hard work but what I particularly like is that Peru has developed and applied a structure that focuses not just on running outcomes (further / faster) but which puts injury prevention and enjoyment front and centre. This has given me the confidence to take on challenges that I had never even contemplated… half marathon, marathon… potentially an ultra in 2025. His enthusiasm, encouragement and responsiveness are particular traits that I would call out. Despite being surrounded by a community of runners who are each following their own running journeys, and all of whom are highly impressive(!), I have never been made to feel an outsider. I can’t recommend Peru enough.

Smashed PBs (half, marathons), next goal Comrades Marathon 55 miles
Since I started to train with coach Peru, his skills, perseverance, and motivation helped me improve my approach towards running, reflected great results of smashing my PB continuously (half and Marathons).
More important his training plans are tailored to your needs to prevent any injuries and increase performance. He is always available for catch up and his guidance and advice are superb, also on nutrition and preparing for your race.
Next goal for me Comrades Marathon 55 miles next year. Can’t wait and thank you Peru.

Improved 5km, 10km, half marathon PBs, planning two marathons
I cannot speak more highly of Endurance Dynamics coaching. Coach Peru is incredibly passionate about his craft and he truly cares about his athletes. His attention to detail is excellent and I am constantly learning. If you have any questions or need any support, coach is always a text message away.
My 5km, 10km and half marathon personal bests have improved drastically in the 7+ months since joining the team. I am due to run two marathons before the end of 2024 and I feel strongly I will achieve the goals we are shooting for. The workouts are nicely varied so you don’t get bored.
If you want to become a faster, smarter and more confident runner, I highly recommend you choose Endurance Dynamics.

PBed half marathon, training for Chicago Marathon
When I posted my goal that I want to complete all the Majors on Bark this March, I had a bit of doubt whether I can do it. Coach Peru reached out to me, gave me an enthusiastic introduction and a practical presentation (free), analyzing my strength and sharing his plan and predictions. I sensed that he and his team have great energy and would be very compatible with my style, I signed up.
It’s been 5 months now training with Coach Peru, and I’ve PBed my half marathon and is on my final stretch for Chicago Marathon. Coach Peru makes rigorous yet flexible plans, incorporating strength training, and stretches. He is also very responsive to my questions and checks in if I seem to be having a hard time. I also love that the whole team shares each other’s excitement and cheers for each other in our group chat. Coach Peru has created a great community for runners at all levels.

Strength and Conditioning clear sessions
Coach Peru is extremely passionate. His running programme is great and I love the Final Surge app he uses. It has the sessions on the calendar, emails daily reminders, and has Strength and Conditioning videos attached for each session. This makes it so easy to know what you have to do.
He is really supportive.

Improved running ability month on month
Working with Peru from Endurance Dynamics has been amazing! I started working with Peru at the beginning of 2024 and I have enjoyed every moment. With tailor made training plans and routine check-ins, Peru makes sure that every athlete is supported 100% of the time. He is always there when I have any extra questions and is always happy to give so much of his time to provide further advice, support and guidance. He is realistic that everyone has other commitments in their lives and makes sure to tailor your plans to suit your life. My running ability has improved month on month and that is all down to Peru’s training regime and guidance.
Endurance dynamics is not a business it’s a running community where we all cheer each other on and support one another no matter where you are or what your goals might be. Peru has created such a positive experience and I would highly recommend you starting your adventure with him today!

Improved marathon time, overcame knee issue
I was looking for a coach as I set out to train for my second marathon and improve my time. After meeting Peru, I was impressed by his meticulous, data-driven approach and signed-on.
Over the last 4 months, everything from the strength and conditioning sessions, to the pacing and running schedule, has been tailored to me , demonstrating his understanding of the holistic needs of each individual runner.
From the get-go, Peru was warm, personable and professional; his heart-on-sleeve approach also fostered a sense of trust and his unwavering belief in me (in all of his athletes) has helped to keep me going. He knows when to push, and cheers the loudest when milestones are smashed or morale is low.
Peru is also a treasure trove of knowledge, tips and tricks. From nutrition and gear through to technique and conditioning, his guidance was instrumental. One also can’t forget mentioning his network. A knee issue that cropped up during our training could have been a significant setback, but his swift intervention and connection with a top-notch physiotherapist turned a potential hurdle into a stumbling block. Their combined effort ensured not just my return, but a smarter, safer approach to it.
Peru’s expertise, encouraging spirit, and valuable connections are key for any aspiring marathon runner. His coaching isn’t just about getting you ready for the race; he makes you fall in love with the journey and unlock what’s possible within.

Ran two half and one full marathon, sub 20 min 5k
Since signing up with Peru and the ED team I’ve been so surprised and delighted with the progress I’ve made. Whilst I started with a reasonable level of general fitness, I was certainly not a runner. Fast forward 7 months and with well structured training I’ve ran two half and one full marathon. I’ve also been able to do a sub 20 min 5k which is something I never thought would be possible when I first started. Without hesitation I’d recommend Endurance Dynamics no matter what level of runner you may currently be.
