Coach Parry Arvostelua 

Only been signed up for a week, and its super slick, and I am pumped to get running strong for Comrades 2027

From my first encounter with Devlin at the 2026 Comrades Expo to my online Zoom with Lindsey Parry I knew that this team is professional, knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.
The Coach Parry platform and app is state of the art and I am anazed how user friendly and informative it is.
I am excited for my new journey with Coach Parry training.

I'm really happy with the training plan and look forward to working through it. All the advice on strength and nutrition is great as well.

I knew the "what" and "why," but I was clueless about the "how." Without the Coach Parry team, I doubt I would have been able to complete the Cape Town Marathon — my very first — so comfortably and with relative ease. They took all the guesswork out of training with a tailor-made plan according to my fitness level and target time. I was able to relax and keep the green boxes ticking, knowing I was covering the main pillars of marathon training: consistency, strength work, and recovery. Their tips on nutrition and all things running-related, together with their timely feedback on the forum, were priceless in helping me prepare. Thank you, coaches; your knowledge and friendliness set you apart.

I recently joined Coach Parry's team and I'm so glad I did. In just two weeks, I've learned many routines to strengthen important muscles for better running. The instructions for the routines are very clear, and the tracking of my progress is impeccable. I'm confident I'll achieve my goals soon.I've felt very supported.

Super helpful personal initial contact for getting started, Recommended training plan is clear and helpful. Looking forward to continuing!!

I am just beginning my journey and delighted with the intro and welcome

Everything from the get go has been straightforward, and easy to set up on my computer and accompanying app for my phone. One minor suggestion - a tutorial on how to set up heart rate/pace zones and get those incorporated into the training programs. Otherwise, the support I’ve needed has been minimal, and the help very responsive! Looking forward to many months of training.

I'm a member for only 3 weeks but so far, every doubt I had was very fast answered by the coaches in the forum. In the platform I can see a lot of good videos with tips and how to perform the training and this is very useful for me because I can't attend the live class on Monday, I'm in Brazil with 5 hours difference, so the videos are really very helpful.

The website is user-friendly and accessible and I have found the videos extremely helpful.

Admin staff very understanding and supportive. Directions clear for using the site and emails provide very helpful videos and links to assist in approaching running from a healthy and injury preventative stance. Love everything I've received from you!

Advice is sound and pragmatic

The training plans are great and the videos that accompany them elevate the experience. I already see a significant improvement in my fitness which I would attribute to the strength training routines. That was the missing piece of my training.

Very happy with the structured plan taking into account where I am now and building towards something better ahead.

Started my training program for my "first time ever" marathon. Two weeks into the training, I feel stronger than before. I also now better understand what pacing strategy I should follow. Still early days but thus far a very positive experience.

The training programs are fairly doable,nothing hectic.I’ve particularly enjoyed the foot care routine.Am hoping to run SCTM in sub5hrs,however my schedule is saying my race day is in July,instead of May.So I’m a bit concerned I might not put in the extra work that is required.

I have been a lifelong runner. At 58 I needed someone to "give me permission" to do a little less running, and concentrate on strength and flexibility. The Standard Approach of more more more doesn't work for older athletes, and we are conditioned to fight against anything that looks like "less".

I love the structured programmes, it is a refreshing new take on my established training. Running less and slower is a bit of an adjustment, but I'm sure I'll see the results. I'm still nursing shin splints, and less running is actually just what I need.

I joined the "Fast Beyond 50" program because no matter how I changed my training, I just couldn't get past feeling tired all of the time. I really thought that I was going to have to accept that because I'm older, I just may not be able to run any more. I joined Coach Parry just two weeks ago and have been following a plan based on my past activity/achievements and goals. I am already feeling more energetic, stronger, and happier. My personal calendar keeps me on track. Workouts are easy to understand - with lots of resources, including video. I appreciate the information/reminders about nutrition, running, and strength training. It's almost as if I have a coach sitting on my shoulder, guiding me. I am excited to continue to see/feel my future progress.

Awesome and simple to use application to manage my training schedule for SCTM 2026
