Meet Amy Daniel

Amy Daniel has been a runner for over 28 years – ever since winning her zone cross country in 1997 sparked a lifelong love for running. Within six months of working with a coach, Amy raced at a national level for 400m, and running has been in her life ever since.

In 2010, Amy started competing in Triathlons, then after getting married and having children, the competitive running started again. Amy has reached her own performance goals including running in the Australian team at World Trail Champs for 45km trail and a sub 3 hour marathon. Alongside the personal journey, Amy has built a career around movement and performance, as a qualified PDHPE teacher and now a sports massage therapist, working closely with athletes of all levels.

Now Amy loves helping juniors, elite and adults chase their personal goals, whether it’s getting faster for their sport, getting stronger or more explosive for track or a recreational runner setting new goals.

I’m here to help you unlock your potential, run faster, stay strong, and ultimately enjoy running. Through personalised coaching and real connection, we’ll build a pathway to your success.

Mission

Run Within Coaching helps runners improve performance by learning to work with their mind and body, not against them.

Through evidence-based training, mindset development, and personalised coaching, we teach athletes how to train smart, listen to their bodies, and respond to physical and mental challenges with confidence. Our coaching prioritises longevity, self-trust, and consistency—so runners move efficiently, race with purpose, and continue to grow both in running, sport and in life.

Vision

Run Within Coaching envisions a future where athletes train with purpose, prioritise longevity, and perform at their best by learning to train smart, listen to their bodies, strengthen their minds, and truly run within. Run Within Coaching also wants to create an empowering coaching environment where runners thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally and carry confidence, self-trust, and resilience.

Run Within Coaching envisions a future where athletes redefine performance by creating runners who move with awareness, compete with confidence, and perform in alignment with both mind and body.
