Real Results.
Real People.
At A-Team Coaching, our athletes are at the heart of everything we do. From first-time runners to elite ultra-marathon athletes, thousands of training hours and countless finish lines have shaped the reputation of our coaching team.
"I joined A-Team coaching in September 2024 with the goal to improve my marathon time. With the help, guidance and patience. Ann helped me get there. I still have a very long way to go and many goals to achieve. Thank you Ann for all the time and effort you put into my training programs."
"Excellent coaching! Ann has coached me for a few years now supporting me to become a better, stronger runner both physically and mentally! I have completed numerous marathons and 4 Comrades under her guidance and I can't recommend her enough!"
"Working with David has been an incredible experience and a game changer for my running journey. From day one, he has been genuinely invested in my goals. His training plans are clear, personalized, and realistic — pushing me just enough to grow while still respecting my pace and lifestyle."
"I have been with David and Team Ashworth for about 5 years having navigated three Comrades and 7 Full Ironman events. David has given me professional coaching, guidance and strong motivation to navigate a full time job, extensive travelling and still managing to hit my running and triathlon goals."
"Thank you, Andrew. You have excelled in triathlon, achieving the remarkable AWA Silver Status for 2 years in a row (top 5% in age ranking)."
"I worked with David for the whole of 2025. David worked with me to design an appropriate tailored training plan. I hit my first goal for Comrades (sub 9 hours which was an hour shorter than the year before). Everything was looking good for Skyrun but weather caused route changes — we pivoted to UTCT100."
""One needs to allow for flexibility within the rigidity of a structured training plan." Shifting focus from Skyrun to UTCT requires a flexible approach."
"I signed up with Dave in April 2023 when my running really went pear-shaped and I went from running Comrades to not even being able to complete a marathon. Dave slowly built me up to running a 22 minute marathon PB in that October. I then ran my best ever Comrades the following year, also with a 20 minute PB."
"David Ashworth is a great coach! He has helped guide me to my goals both on the road and the trail. He is always approachable and ready to chat through any issues in training or thinking through your goals."
"David is a truly gifted running coach who I cannot recommend highly enough. I have been with A-Team since 2022 and my running continues to go from strength to strength. I love that my workouts can always be tailored to my busy work schedule. Perhaps most importantly, I have never found this much pure enjoyment in my running."
"David has outstanding sessions that helped me gain clarity on my running, cycling and fitness goals which improved my skills. The personalized sessions and constructive feedback improved my progress and got me over the line for numerous marathons, Comrades, Half IM and 100 miler Race to the Sun."
"Endurance all-rounder! Variety is the spice of life and YOU are living it, Tania!"
