Masters & Adult Training
It's Never Too Late to Get Started. Or Get Better.
At Next Gen Athletics, we believe athletics is for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or experience.
Whether you're looking to rediscover your love for running, improve your fitness, train for your next race or compete at the highest level of masters athletics, our experienced coaches are here to help you achieve your goals.
Our adult and masters coaching programs bring together athletes from a wide range of backgrounds, from complete beginners to experienced competitors, in a welcoming, supportive and motivating environment.
You don't need to be an experienced athlete to get started. All you need is a willingness to give it a go!
Your Goals. Your Pace. Your Progress.
Everyone comes to training for different reasons.
Some want to run faster, others want to improve their fitness, and some are working towards competing at state, national or international masters championships.
Whatever your motivation, we believe quality coaching should be accessible to adults of all abilities.
Our sessions are designed to help you develop your skills, build confidence and make meaningful progress, with training adapted to your individual experience, physical capabilities and goals.

What Can We Help You Achieve?
Our adult and masters coaching covers a wide range of athletic disciplines and fitness goals.
Sprint & Speed Development
Whether you're looking to improve your 100m, 200m, or 400m performance, prepare for masters competition, or simply rediscover your speed, our coaching can help.
Sessions focus on sprint technique, acceleration, running mechanics, speed development, and the strength and coordination required for faster running.
Our coaches tailor training to your experience and physical capabilities, helping you build confidence and develop your speed progressively.
Middle & Long-Distance Running
From the 800m and 1500m to cross-country, 5km and 10km races, half marathons and marathons, we support adults looking to take their distance running further.
Our coaching can help you develop:
Running technique and efficiency
Aerobic fitness and endurance
Pacing and race strategy
Speed and interval training
Training consistency and progression
Confidence preparing for upcoming events
Whether you're preparing for your first running event or chasing a new personal best, we can help you train with greater purpose.
For longer-distance events such as half marathons and marathons, we can also help you explore individualised training and programming options to complement your sessions.
Masters Athletics Competition Preparation
Have a competitive goal in mind?
We welcome masters athletes preparing for club competitions, state and national championships, and international events.
Whether you're returning to competitive athletics or looking to take your performances to the next level, our coaches can help you refine your technique, structure your training, and prepare for competition.
We understand that masters athletes have unique training considerations, and we aim to balance performance development with appropriate recovery and long-term consistency.
General Fitness & Athletic Development
You don't need to be preparing for a competition to benefit from athletics coaching.
Our sessions can also help adults who simply want to become fitter, stronger, faster, and more confident in their physical abilities.
We can incorporate running mechanics, strength and power development, mobility, coordination, and general conditioning to help you develop your overall athleticism.
Whether you're returning to exercise after time away or looking for a more enjoyable alternative to traditional fitness training, there's a place for you at Next Gen Athletics.
More Than Just Training
One of the things we're most proud of at Next Gen Athletics is the community we've built.
Our adult and master’s athletes come from different sporting backgrounds, have different levels of experience, and are all working towards their own goals.
What brings everyone together is a shared enjoyment of training, improving, and supporting one another.
There's something special about working towards your own goals while being surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed.
Whether you're chasing a championship, a personal best or simply a healthier and more active lifestyle, every achievement is worth celebrating.
Flexible Training Options
We understand that balancing training with work, family and other commitments can be challenging.
That's why we offer flexible coaching options, including group training, private sessions and individualised programming, depending on your goals and availability.
Our sessions are primarily held at Sydney Olympic Park (SOPAC Warm-Up Track), with additional coaching opportunities in the Hills District at Gooden Drive Reserve, Baulkham Hills. We also offer a Premium Service to travel to your location and provide a private coaching session at a suitable local athletics track, oval, or training facility.
Our coaches can help you identify a suitable training option based on your experience, goals, and schedule.
