"I coach ordinary people to do extraordinary things." Real coaching. Real results. For Real people. Whether you're just getting started or chasing a new personal best, RhodesRunner helps you run smarter, stronger, and longer — no fluff, no generic plans. Hi, I’m Simon Rhodes — founder and head coach at RhodesRunner. A NZ based online Run Coaching business I wasn’t always a runner. I started in my mid-40s to lose the 20kg that had crept on, to invest in a healthy future, and show my kids what commitment, consistency and hard work can achieve. Running changed everything. What began as a few jogs turned into a journey of transformation — one that led me to compete (and podium, in my age group!) at the NZ National Half Marathon Champs in 2024. Now in my 50s, I’m running faster than ever — and helping others do the same. Whether you’re looking to get started, break through a plateau, or chase a new personal best, RhodesRunner can help. Simon is a qualified Personal Fitness Trainer, McMillan Certified Running Coach and Athletics New Zealand Accredited Coach. He has been a run coach since 2016.
