Start Running Stay Running

You wake up with a problem.
Maybe it's work. Maybe it's life. Maybe it's just that heavy feeling you can't quite shake.
You go for a run anyway.
And you come back — same problem, different you. Calmer. Clearer. More capable of handling whatever the day throws at you. 🏃
Running doesn't fix everything. But it changes how everything feels.
That's the power of movement. And it's why we do what we do at Start Running Stay Running.
Everything's Better After a Run. 💙

☀️You know you’re a runner when- it’s Tuesday night, tipping down with rain and blowing an absolute gale but you run🙂Gemma Reidy is in the 15th week of the SRSR 5km Program and absolutely smashing it. Ran 8km on Sunday and was cruising on our 25minute run tonight- well done🏃🏃‍♀️

☀️SRSR Athletes inspire me every day and what Chakri has achieved is amazing🏃In 9 weeks he’s gone from running 1min to today running 30mins✅🏃A sensational performance because of commitment and determination- well done Chakri

When running gets hard, your head is the first thing that gives up. 🧠
Here's what elite runners know — distraction isn't weakness. It's strategy.
Try this on your next run:
Count to 100. Over and over. Your brain physically cannot spiral and count at the same time.
Or find one thing to be grateful for every km. Your mood lifts. The run flies by.
Mind work is training too. And the runners who master it are the ones who keep going when everyone else stops.
Everything's Better After a Run. 🏃

🎉 16 weeks ago, Kim and Ed started a journey with one goal — to run 5km.

This morning at Sandgate Park Run, they did exactly that. 👏

16 weeks of early mornings, hard work, and showing up — even when it was tough. Today it all paid off.

Kim and Ed — we couldn’t be prouder. You’re runners now. Full stop.

If you’ve ever thought “I could never run 5km” — these stars are proof that with the right program and the right support, you absolutely can. 💪

DM us to find out how to start your own journey with SRSR. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ New 5km program starts in Sandgate, 11th May👍

Here's the most common mistake we see in speed sessions 👇 Going out too hard in the first 400m of each rep. It feels great in the moment — but you've just blown your effort targets for every rep that follows. 😅 Speed training only works when you hit the right effort zone. That's where the adaptation happens. Control the start, nail the effort, get the gains. Want a structured speed program that takes the guesswork out of training? DM us. 🏃‍♂️

Whether you're lacing up for the first time or chasing a new PB — SRSR has a program for you. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ We coach runners of all ages and abilities across Brisbane with in-person sessions and online programs. Come run with us.

The secret behind every runner who keeps improving? They don't just run more — they run smarter. 🧠 Periodised training means carefully building volume over time with recovery weeks built in so your body adapts, not breaks down. Most runners we see are either doing too much too soon, not recovering or not progressing at all. There's a better way.
