about us
In a world of "instagram fitness" and generic workout plans, it can be difficult to find good quality information.
OCR star Faye Stenning and Olympic runner / Exercise Physiologist Jessica O'Connell saw a strong need for access to high-quality coaching and teamed together to offer effective, science-informed bespoke online training for athletes around the world.
WE UNDERSTAND that many athletes who enjoy running and OCR want to take their performance to the next level, but are unsure how. Often, athletes are best-served by a customized training plan and mentorship not offered by templated, hands-off training programs.
WE PROVIDE affordable services which allow athletes of any ability to access expert coaches. Our programs are completely custom and created only for YOU based on your goals, equipment, level, past injuries, and lifestyle.
WE HAVE the rare combination of world-class athletic experience and Master's level education in sport science. We deeply understand the science behind training as well as how it feels to chase goals and compete. We have created hundreds of training programs with care and integrity.

TESTIMONIALS

After qualifying for the Boston Marathon, I struggled with injuries for several months and became concerned I may not be able to compete in the race. At the recommendation of my physiotherapist, I reached out to Grit Coaching and I couldn’t be happier. In 6 months with Grit, I went from not running at all to hitting a PR in Boston! Jess and Faye provide thoughtful, science-backed, programming that's personalized to my needs and schedule. I've learnt so much from them and can't wait to hit my next PRs with them in my corner.
