Bio

Ben Mudie is an accredited Australian Athletics Advanced Recreational Running Coach (Level 2) and the founder of BEAM Running.

Ben began running in 2013 and has coached recreational runners since 2018. He works primarily with committed runners preparing for events from 5km through to the marathon who want personalised structure, regular feedback and sensible adjustments when training or life does not go to plan.

His coaching approach combines a personalised rolling training program with proactive weekly review. Completed training, athlete feedback, recovery, work, family, travel and upcoming goals are considered before deciding whether to progress, hold or adjust the plan.

Ben has personal experience across track, cross country and road racing. He has completed five marathons, including Gold Coast, Melbourne, Great Ocean Road, Canberra and Sydney.

From 2015 to 2025, Ben served on the Western Athletics committee, including two years as Vice President and two years as President.

Ben understands the patience and consistency required to improve while balancing running with the rest of life. He believes the plan is only the starting point and that good coaching means making the right decision at the right time.
