Your Running Pal

Gordon Pal

Gordon is a UESCA-certified ultra running coach who helps athletes work towards meaningful, often ambitious goals — whether that’s an upcoming race, a long-term challenge, or the confidence to say yes to big adventures. Through Your Running Pal, Gordon supports runners who want structure, progression, and a clear path forward, without losing the joy of running along the way.

Gordon has close to a decade of trail running experience and has competed in Backyard Ultras, 100-mile races, and 24-hour events - but values adventurous days out with friends in the backcountry just as highly as race results. This balance strongly shapes how he coaches.  He takes a practical, individualised approach, helping runners balance training with real life while building consistency and working towards meaningful goals.

Trail Addiction Coaching

Bernard Robinson

Bernard is a Queenstown-based endurance coach, ultra-athlete, and systems thinker who specialises in building highly aerobic, metabolically efficient runners.

With an engineering background and over two decades of experience in extreme endurance racing — including multiple Coast to Coast finishes, UTMB 170km, TDS, Tahoe 200 and top 10 finishes at GODZone — Bernard combines real-world racing experience with a data-driven approach to performance development.

His coaching is grounded in metabolic profiling and objective testing. Lactate assessments, heart rate analysis, sweat testing, and terrain-specific workload modelling form the foundation of every program. Training is built around aerobic capacity, durability, and fatigue resistance — not guesswork.

The goal is simple: build an athlete whose physiology supports their ambition
