Meet our Team
Blake Hose
Founder and Head Coach
Blake is the founder of APRC and has raced all over the globe throughout his sporting career. He is a three-time Australian representative at the World Sky Running Championships, an Oceania Sky Running Champion in the short course and marathon and has been on podiums and in the top 10 of some of the world's biggest trail races such as Transvulcania.
Starting coaching in 2016, Blake has worked with athletes that simply want to get to the finish line under the cut-off and those that have won the biggest trail races in Australia. But regardless of the athlete's specific goal or ability, his aim as a coach is to maximize the potential of athletes by providing unparalleled support and guidance through every step of the process. He believes that being approachable and considerate of people's lives outside running is the key to a successful coach-athlete relationship; and that the best results will be achieved by placing focus on the long-term plan and consistency over all else.
Milly Young
Coach
Milly hails from the vast dry expanse of Western Australia, and is now situated in the mountain dreamland of Chamonix, France. Here, she runs and climbs on the daily, and probably does things in the mountains that would have most of us rethinking our life choices. Milly recently placed 3rd overall as a combined team with her brother (who wore footy shorts the whole way) in the PTL by UTMB, which is a 300km route with 25,000m climbing around the mountains of Chamonix.. So she knows a thing or two about endurance!
Milly has been coaching since 2016 and has worked with some of the best coaches in the business. She draws on her significant experience in the endurance space and her love for seeing people achieve their goals when approaching her role as a coach, making her an amazing addition to our coaching team!

"Blake has all the attributes you want from a running coach. He has a focus on long-term consistency and builds sustainable programs. He knows where your limits are (often better than you do) and helps you to operate within those limits but also knows when it is safe to push you. Most importantly, Blake cares about your progress and seeks regular feedback to ensure that your program is hitting the mark. And he's also just an excellent person"
Hayley T, Melbourne VIC
"Blake is a compassionate and understanding coach who maintains a close working relationship with his athletes. I have always felt listened to and respected as a person as well as a runner. He is approachable and understanding, providing a great deal of knowledge and insight into the sport"
Lisa R, Canberra ACT
Blake’s coaching has helped me move from an unstructured novice runner to consistent and confident where I now feel like I can reach goals I wouldn’t have considered before. Blake challenges me where I need it and is equally understanding and encouraging. He is incredibly knowledgeable and generous with his time and just a kind person. Grateful to be coached at APRC and wish I had started sooner! Can’t recommend Blake enough.
Gillian T, VIC
My 1:1 descending session with Blake was amazing - he listened closely to my concerns and areas of weakness, we talked through ways to tackle different terrain and then spent time on the trails practising the techniques. I couldn't believe how much I had improved after just one session. I would highly recommend!
Charlie H, Canberra ACT
Blake has been an invaluable mentor and coach. His wealth of knowledge and experience has given me the ability to compete in high-profile interntional races. I have 100% trust in his programming and advice to develop me as an elite runner."
