CORRIE JOHNSTONE
Endurance Coach & Athlete
I grew up in Canada, where I spent my early years as a competitive soccer player before earning an Honours Degree in Criminal Justice in 2010. After university, I moved to Australia and transitioned into triathlon, cycling, and more recently, ultrarunning.
Since becoming a qualified coach in 2013, I’ve worked with over 150 athletes across a wide range of sports and levels. I’ve competed in triathlon up to the half-ironman distance, raced A-grade cycling, and completed two ultramarathons (Kosci50 and OCC 50K). Coaching is my full-time profession, which means your performance and program are always my priority.
I am deeply passionate about coaching and ongoing education in sport science, exercise physiology, and strength training. I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Each athlete is unique, with their own training history, fitness level, and lifestyle. My role is to create a training environment that allows for consistent improvement while fitting within the realities of day-to-day life. I focus on evidence-based training methods and aim to equip athletes with knowledge in mental resilience, pacing, nutrition, race strategies, and gear selection to help them reach their best performance.
