The Long Run

Finding inspiration in every stride

About

A holistic running coaching service founded by John Faure, an avid trail and road runner hailing from Cape Town, South Africa. With a profound passion for running and its transformative power, John believes in extracting valuable lessons from this activity and applying them to enrich our daily lives. The Long Run emphasizes a human-centered approach to training, recognizing that running is meant to be enjoyed rather than a means for self-punishment. By embracing a process-oriented mindset and nurturing consistent efforts over time, The Long Run unveils the hidden potential within us, reveals new horizons, and demonstrates that we are capable of exceeding our own expectations.

We create holistic running programs that are designed to fit your specific needs and schedule whether it be on the road or in the mountains. You have the opportunity to have a 1:1 relationship with your coach who will work with you in the pursuit of your running goals whether it be a 5K PB or the spiritual pursuit of the ultramarathon.

"John is far more than a running coach! His knowledge about all aspects of training comes from a deeply curious and dedicated mind and years of lived experience in the personal application of training techniques he knows intimately. His greatest gift, for me, is how he combines best and proven practices for running strong and long (in my case) and experiential wisdom, both in running as well as life. He has this knack of translating learnings in training into learnings for life - a very unique gift"
