The stokelab coached run session is our free, weekly group training run in Brisbane, less than 3km from our Bardon shop.

If you’re looking for a run club in Brisbane or a running group in Ashgrove/Bardon, this is for you. The session is coached and inclusive, with runners split into groups where it makes sense so everyone can train at a similar effort.

All ages and fitness levels are welcome, from newer runners to those training for events.

This run club is a good fit if you:

  • Enjoy running and like the idea of a regular, guided session
  • Feel more motivated with a small group around you
  • Are working towards parkrun, 10 km, a half marathon, a marathon, or general fitness
  • Prefer learning and improving without any pressure
  • Want coaching, structure and progression, with options to dial it up or keep it steady
  • Enjoy member-only perks in store for shop run runners
  • Value community, routine and a good coffee after your run

The session is not a bootcamp. It is a calm, welcoming way to build running into your week with good people beside you.

What a typical session looks like

  • Welcome + warm up: easy running, mobility and simple technique cues
  • Groups by effort: we split into small groups where it makes sense so you can train at a similar effort
  • Main set: a coached workout (for example hills, intervals, strength-focused running, or progression efforts)
  • Options for everyone: choose a steadier version or dial it up if you’re chasing a goal or PB
  • Cool down: easy jog and a short walk over for coffee

What to bring

  • Running shoes you are comfortable in
  • Water (especially in warmer months)
  • A head torch if it is dark where you are travelling from
  • A friendly attitude and a willingness to go at your own pace

Free gear tests

stokelab often collaborates with running shoe partners to offer free product tests and trial runs during the session. We will share these updates on our social channels and email newsletter.

Note: Running involves inherent risk. If you have any health concerns, please check with a medical professional before starting a new training routine.
