Kellie Angel, Head Coach

BOT, PhD, Advanced recreational running coach
 

Kellie Angel (née Emmerson) has been coaching both groups and individuals for over 10 years in a range of running disciplines, including trail and road, from 5km to 100miles. She has worked with athletes at both ends of the spectrum: those simply wanting to have fun with training and beat race cut-offs, to those at the pointy end of the field, with some representing Australia. Kellie is an Occupational Therapist and holds a PhD in exercise prescription. She has produced content for the Athletics Australia Level 3 Trail & Ultra Coaching course. She is a mum to two cheeky boys and has a good understanding of the juggle that is raising kids and keeping up your own training. Kellie has represented Australia at the Trail World Championships and Mountain Running World Championships.

Kellie's education and training give her a holistic perspective on coaching with a strong focus on evidence-based practice. She is passionate about looking at you as a whole, with the belief that training is a lifestyle and all factors need to be taken into consideration for success. Kellie is an experienced elite trail runner in her own right, holding many course records, representing Australia in both Trail Running World Championships and Mountain Running World Championships, and sitting favourably in the rankings for the Ultra Trail World Tour. She is also a new mum and now has first-hand experience in returning to running post-natally.
