Dave Byrne
Running has been a major part of my life since I was in my early teens. From being a little athlete and representing Australia at World Junior Championships to running at senior ranks at World Cross Country Championships and now as an elite ultra marathon runner, I’ve been a passionate distance runner for over 20 years.
My early life was spent as a track athlete, primarily focused on the 800m and 1,500m. I also competed at longer distances from 3,000m to 10,000m. In the winter season it was all about cross country and road racing. Once I felt I had gotten as much as I could out of myself at the shorter distances I transitioned across to the trail and ultra scene, which is where my passion now lies.

Gary ‘Tiger’ Howard
Thanks to 10 years as a massage therapist, Gary has developed an understanding & eye for biomechanics that helps runners improve efficiency and minimise injury risk. As a runner, he’s a jack-of-all-trades. Naturally suited to sprinting (100m-400m), his passion for distance running has dragged him to a 75min half mara. He is currently fitting his running between commitments as a coach, massage therapist & father of two young boys. He continues to compete at 800m, winning a silver at the World Masters, and still runs sub-2:00 as a 40-something-year-old.
