Client Spotlight - Jacob Dunne
Dunnie hit me up at the start of the year with the goal of completing his 1st Half marathon! However there was 1 small problem, he currently cannot run more than 5km without his ankle swelling and causing him a heap of pain and discomfort.
We kicked things of with a quick sit down and chat so I could gather all the information I neded to know about his running and injuries history before jumping into training. The key component for someone like Dunnie who has a history of injury is time. We need time to get the body used to running again and build up the strength it requires to manage a half marathon. This means longer blocks and slower volume increases than usual.
With little experience running these sorts of distance his training structure was something like this:
Block 1 - Build Strength in ankle, and running mechanics / Week 1-6

Block 2 - Ankle Strength Program + Build to 5km / Weeks 7-13

Block 3 - Plyometrics + Build to 10km / Weeks 14-20

Block 4 - Plyometrics + Improve Lactic Threshold / Weeks 21 - 25

Block 5 - Plyometrics + Build to 21km / Weeks 28 - 36

Block 5 - Plyometrics + Improve Lactic Threshold + Taper / 36-40

Here’s what Jacob had to say about his experience with Vivr:

After 9 mouths of injury recovery, I came to Liam with a goal. With his knowledge and my goals, he set out a training plan to meet my schedule and goals. We completed a couple of the first sessions together, from there with his regular check ins the program was adaptive and changed as we went making sure I was able to achieve my goal. His constant communication and well layed out training sessions made it easy the training and stay on track. I look forward to working with Liam in the future.

If you’ve got a running, triathlon, or performance goal and want a plan that works around your life, a personalized program can make all the difference.

Introducing -

A massive congratulations to Imo for smashing out her first-ever marathon! With everything going on in work and life, committing to this challenge took serious guts—and you absolutely crushed it. So stoked for you!
Imo came to me around 22 weeks out with the goal of enjoying her first marathon as much as possible. She was understandably nervous but excited to take it on. We kicked off training with one small hiccup 10 weeks out, she headed off for a two-week trek through the Himalayas! That meant we had two solid 10-week blocks with a short break in between.

Here’s how her training was structured:
Block 1 – Build an aerobic base (Weeks 1–6)
Block 2 – Short block, focus on anaerobic capacity (Weeks 6–12)
Two-week holiday
Block 3 – Rebuild aerobic base (Weeks 14–16)
Block 4 – Build to distance + taper (Weeks 17–22)

Here’s what Imo had to say about the experience:
“Asking Liam to program my running was likely the decision that led to my first marathon being SO enjoyable. Having a program written for me that was adaptable to an ever-changing schedule made the difficulty of training significantly more achievable. Liam was the voice of reason who I could confess my running sins to and be steered back in the right direction to achieve my goals!”

If you’ve got a running, triathlon, or performance goal and want a plan that works around your life, a personalised program can make all the difference.

Client Spotlight –

Massive congrats to Elle for smashing out her first-ever Half Marathon over the weekend at the Gold Coast Marathon!

Elle hit me up at the start of the year looking for a new challenge after crushing her first 10km event late last year. After a few months of casual running, we locked in a 18-week plan and got to work.

We kicked things off with a simple anaerobic threshold test to set her heart rate and pace zones, then followed a structured 4-phase program:

Block 1 – Build a base / Week 1-4
Block 2 – Build to 21km / Weeks 5-10
Block 3 –Sharpen anaerobic capacity / Weeks 11- 14
Block 4 –Increase speed + Taper / Weeks 15-18

Here’s what Elle had to say about her training:
“I knew I needed help achieving my goal of finishing a half marathon and thanks to Liam’s programming I ran it in 2:02—something I never thought I could do. His programs are simple to follow and vary between speed, long intervals, and long runs. He also checks in regularly to make sure everything’s on track. I highly recommend using Liam for your next running goal!”

If you’ve got a running, triathlon, or performance goal this year and you’re struggling to hit the mark, a personalised program can make all the difference.

Client Spotlight – James “Mo” Forbes

Meet Mo! At just 16, Mo came to us wanting to get stronger, fitter, and ready for rugby—and over the last 6 months, he’s done exactly that.

He trained twice a week in the gym, added 3+ sessions at home, and stayed consistent through setbacks. After wrapping up soccer, Mo rolled straight into rugby pre-season and has already hit a few trial games.

Here’s what Mo had to say:
“I started training with Liam to prep for rugby and build my strength and fitness—and the progress has been incredible. Liam’s support and consistency have made a real difference. He’s not just a trainer, but a mentor. I genuinely look forward to every session.”

From James Mo’s dad:
“Mo jumped at the chance to train with Liam again. He’s made great progress physically and mentally, and the respect and positivity he gets from Liam is second to none.”

Whether you’re a young athlete or just getting started, we offer both face-to-face and online coaching.

M has been training with us longer than we can count—constantly setting goals and knocking them down, week in and week out.

Most recently, she’s been crushing goals both in and out of the gym. Outside the gym, M approached me about getting back into swimming as she’d signed up to do the Straddie Triathlon as part of a team (which you’ll hear more about in the coming weeks!).

With 8 weeks to prepare, we started swim training at her local pool, using Final Surge to manage intervals and rest periods via her smartwatch. After spending the first week gauging her capacity, we built from there—aiming for a confident, comfortable 1.5km swim. And we nailed it. M finished the swim faster than her cyclist teammate Harry could walk to the transition zone!

In the gym, she also smashed a major goal—hitting a new Deadlift PB of 80kg. Absolutely unreal work, M.

Keep coming to me with goals, and we’ll keep knocking them down.

If you’ve got a personal goal you want to hit this year, it’s not too late. Drop me a DM and let’s get started.

Meet Linda B.

Linda started training with Liam over 12 months ago, but it’s been the last 6 months where her commitment has really shone completing her first VIVR To Live 60 Day Challenge.

For the past 18 months, Linda has trained consistently in the gym twice per week. More recently, she began making small lifestyle changes to support her goals improving her sleep, losing weight, and simply feeling better.

Alongside her partner Darren, they fully embraced the process, weaving the daily challenge tasks into their family routine with ease. While the cold showers were tough, the rest of the program fit seamlessly into their lives.

Linda said the experience made them more mindful of what they eat, helped them prioritise daily movement, and even improved their sleep and energy levels.

Here’s what Linda had to say:
“This challenge had such a positive outcome for our family life. It had myself and my husband thinking more about what we consume, exercise, and living an all-round healthier life. The challenge was the step we needed to make these necessary changes to our lifestyle. Thank you ☺️”

Simple changes, consistent effort, and shared commitment, if you’re after results this is your recipe to success!

Huge congrats to Bonnie for smashing the Brisbane Half Marathon last weekend!
She came to me at the start of the year with a clear goal: finish the race comfortably and challenge herself—no time pressure, just solid preparation.

Getting in early gave us the time to build her physical and mental resilience through varied intervals and pacing work.
Race day didn’t go perfectly, but Bonnie stayed composed, finished strong, and—best of all—woke up the next day feeling great. A true credit to her consistency and commitment.

Here’s what Bonnie has to say about her experience with Vivr:
“I started my half marathon journey in February with Liam and the VIVR running program, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I made to reach my goal. Having a structured training plan already set up—and just needing to press “Go” on my Garmin—was absolute gold. The prompts during each run were clear, encouraging, and easy to follow, making the process smooth and stress-free.
What truly amazed me was how manageable the entire experience was. At no point did I feel sore, exhausted, or overworked. The training was smart, progressive, and perfectly paced. As a result, my recovery after completing the half marathon was outstanding—no pain, no injury, just pride in what I’d achieved.
Liam’s support throughout the process was brilliant. He was always available to answer my questions and offered expert guidance that made a real difference. His knowledge, encouragement, and attention to detail helped me stay motivated and confident from start to finish.

If you’re aiming for a running goal—whether it’s your first race or your fastest—Liam and VIVR Run Club are the team to have in your corner. Highly recommend!”
