Who is Stuart Payne
Hi, I’m Stuart, an expert triathlon coach and run coach in Brisbane, Australia. When I turned 40 and relocated from the UK, weighing 94kg, I faced chronic stress and the challenge of starting over. Joining a local triathlon club and working with a certified triathlon coach completely transformed my life. Today, I help everyday athletes and endurance seekers achieve their goals – from beginner sprint triathlons to conquering the IRONMAN finish line.
