Hi, I'm Luke founder and head coach at APEX Running & Fitness. Running has been a big part of my life for many years, and I genuinely enjoy helping others through the lessons and experiences I've gained along the way. Supporting people as they build confidence, improve their fitness, and work toward their goals is what I value the most about coaching. 

My own journey within the running world has taken me across a wide range of distances, from a brisk 5km, to Half Marathons, road and trail Marathons, through to Ultra-Endurance races. Over the years I've competed in some of Australia's most demanding events, including the iconic Coast to Kosciusko 240km ultramarathon. 

In 2024, I represented Australia at the IAU Asia & Oceania 24H Track championships, covering 231km. Building on that I went on to win the Australian 24H Track Invitational, with a distance of 237km, which earned me selection to represent Australia in France at the 2025 IAU 24H World Championships.

Alongside competition, I've also used endurance challenges as a way to give back. As part of a fundraising initiative, I completed a 24H Lawn Mower Push, covering 141km to raise funds and awareness for Make-A-Wish Australia.

Alongside my running endeavours, I proudly serve as a Physical Training Instructor In the Army, which enriches my professionalism and expertises as a coach. In my personal life, I am a devoted family man, married with two wonderful children, whom I strive to inspire everyday.  

If you’re curious about your training and feel ready to take it to the next level, reach out using the contact details below.

From there, we’ll connect and have a conversation about where you’re currently at, where you want to go, and how training can realistically fit into your life. 

My coaching is built around clear guidance, consistency, and long-term progress, not rigid plans or guesswork, so you can focus on what truly maters - staying consistent, making steady long term progression, and building healthy, sustainable habits. 

• A personalised training program, updated week to week based on your current fitness level, training response, and progression

• Weekly guidance and check-ins, so you always know what you’re doing and why

• Ongoing feedback, and practical advice to help refine your training as it evolves

• Accountability and support, keeping you consistent when motivation dips or life gets busy

• Training that fits your life, factoring in work, family, stress, and recovery.

• Strength training to support injury prevention, and to help your body better handle training load and volume.

All training is delivered through Final Surge, where sessions are updated regularly from week to week and adjusted based on how you’re progressing.
