What We Do

Run faster with a plan

Running without a goal or a plan will not get you the results you’re after. You can choose from an online training program or attend coach planned and driven workouts.

 

Whether you’re after coaching and pathways for your child, training for a specific goal/fun run or just want to improve your fitness for other sports, MAD Track is where it happens.

 

Be challenged, be motivated and be held accountable.
And see the best you can be.

Meet your coach

GET RESULTS

Technique. Fitness. Motivation.

MAD Track isn’t your run-of-the-mill track coaching (pun totally intended). We’re about custom track and athletics training. You’re not standard, so your track training shouldn’t be, either.

Track and squad sessions

Be challenged with weekly athletics sessions that cater for age, ability, experience, and goals, including negotiated pathways for athletes

COMPETE 
WITH CONFIDENCE

MAD Track will help you navigate performance benchmarks, from club level to major championships, as well as NSW and Australian team representation

1:1 personal coaching

From drills to strength & conditioning to work on your technique through to motivation and accountability, 1:1 personal coaching sessions will fine-tune your skills, accelerate your fitness, and sharpen your focus.

RUN YOUR RACE

It doesn’t matter if you’re training for club competition or looking to compete at an elite level. We coach and motivate athletes of all levels to achieve their goals. We can help you, too.

Customised monthly running programs

There isn’t one plan for every runner. And you’re not just any athlete. MAD Track will customise a training plan specifically for you.

SMASH YOUR GOALS

We’ll work towards your goals together, developing custom monthly programs using the Final Surge and targeted to scheduled races and competitions.

Goal planning

Have a goal?
Let’s develop a structured plan to help you nail it. Because without a plan, a goal is just a wish.

PLAN, DO, ACHIEVE

Attitude + Effort + Consistency = RESULTS

Online training

Take the guesswork out of training with online programs customised to your age, ability, and goals.

TRAIN SMARTER

Enjoy detailed session plans that guide you every step of the way – from percentage efforts and target heart rates through to active/passive recovery, strength and conditioning, and competition.

Junior and Senior athletics

Develop training and behaviour that enhances performance and sets you up for elite pathway opportunities.

WATCH YOURSELF EVOLVE

From the junior pathway through to senior representation, learn just how good you can be.

Competitive and regular runners and race walkers

Improve your performance over 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5km, 10km, 21km or marathon.

FASTER, LONGER & STRONGER

Track and road running, cross country, steeplechase, race walk – wherever you’re going, we’ll help you get there.

Speed and endurance

Competing in multi-disciplined or team sports? Get the agility, speed and endurance you need to make an impact.

BUILD YOUR FITNESS

Build that aerobic engine and get the body strong enough for tempo runs, pushing your anaerobic threshold higher. Run faster at easier effort levels and improve focus, race performance, and mental strength.

READY TO RUN FASTER? RUN WITH MAD TRACK

Why MAD Track?

There are lots of athletics and track coaches in Sydney offering huge group sessions. You will improve to point, but not by running someone else’s race or session. We will ensure that the session is customised for you.

At MAD Track, we take on a limited number of athletes and tailor the session or program for each person. Because while anyone can download a generic training program from the web and hope it works, you’re pinning your goals on hope.

MADTrack doesn’t work with hope.

ATTITUDE + EFFORT + CONSISTENCY = RESULTS

We plan, we do, and we achieve. We take the guesswork out of training and help you tick all the boxes – efficient running technique and mechanics, strength and conditioning, progressive loading, recovery, race strategies, and motivation.

Yes, we’re all about athletics coaching. But we do it differently.

MEET YOUR COACH, BRETT MATHISON

AND RUN FASTER WITH A PLAN

Are you training hard but not improving? Perhaps your child has an athletic goal and needs direction, mentoring and support?

 

I can help.

 

I’m Brett Mathison, owner of MAD Track. I’m a Level 2 Intermediate Club Coach, Level 2 Advanced Coach (Middle & Long Distance), and Level 3 Specialist Middle/Long Distance Coach. I have over 30 years athletics experience, competing and coaching at state, national and international levels. And I’ve developed successful athletes at State and National levels. A combination of this competition experience, knowledge and passion with your attitude, effort and consistency working together we will achieve results and smash your goals!

 

I have coached numerous athletes in NSW teams, as well as students at Westfield Sports High School and juniors in the Sutherland Shire and Port Hacking Little Athletics.

 

I love diversity, I love catering for different levels, abilities and goals, and I love motivating.

 

Best of all, I love seeing results. It’s what drives me – and achieving those results will drive you, too.

–

I’ve competed at an elite level nationally, racing at multiple Australian Cross-Country Championships and Athletics Championships.

–

As a junior and senior athlete competing on the track, cross country and the road for 15 years, I’ve raced and won medals at the highest levels over middle and long distances. I’ve been through the training and the championship races. I know what it takes.

–

I have competed internationally at three World Championships placing top 10 at World Duathlon, World Olympic Distance, and World Long Course Triathlon.

–

And i’ve coached myself to a 9 hour 30 minute Ironman Australia finish.

THE RESULTS

​I’ve been coached and mentored by some of Australia’s leading coaches, and continually work with industry leaders to develop plans and processes that are proven and that work.

So whether you’re interested in formal competing or just want to work on fitness, strength and speed, I can help

Ellie

Brett has been coaching my daughter Ellie for approximately two years. During this time he has always supported and encouraged her to achieve great results in her chosen sport of race walking. Brett has guided Ellie to achieve two State Titles and a Silver medal at the Australian Athletics Championships in 2019, and is constantly there to give her advice and praise. His commitment to my daughter, helping her achieve her goals, is consistent. He has taken time away from his family on weekends to support her at the TTP NSW Athletic Program and to attend race walking events. I would recommend Brett as a coach and mentor to any athlete. He really cares about his athletes.

Annelise

Matho is a wonderful coach who understands that athletics isn’t only about training. Being coached by him for both junior and senior track, he takes the time to understand his athletes, their wellbeing, and understands the transition periods throughout the sport. By having such a tight knit group, Matho often enjoys the group banter while also being serious at ‘training time’ – making it easier for us to be open with him. He runs stable but enjoyable sessions but keeps you on your toes with splits, reps and technique. Matho loves the sport so much that it is felt by every athlete; often you lose together and win together – which I have yet to feel with other coaches. By being an ex-athlete himself, he understands the drive, desire and hard work it takes to get to the top. Having him in your corner is the best thing you can do.

Zane

My son Zane who is 12 years old has struggled to stick to any sport or physical activity for more than three weeks. He has Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. With Brett’s experience as a teacher and in special education, and his patience and encouragement, Zane has continued his training with Brett for 10 months. This is outstanding. His fitness levels and running form has improved significantly. Zane was very surprised and happy with himself to get to the schools Zone levels for 800m and XC, and he is looking forward to doing even better next year. Brett’s running groups are relaxed and fun, but focused and structured. Zane really enjoys them.

Mitchell

Brett Mathison is an amazing coach who puts his athletes first and dedicates his time to coaching them to increase their chance to excel in their specialties. He shows great enthusiasm in sharing his experience and knowledge of the sport. Brett emphasises the importance of consistency, communication, dedication, and how trusting the process will lead to great results. Training programs are received by his athletes on an app called ‘Final Surge’. This is updated constantly so athletes are aware of upcoming meets and races. This is beneficial as senior students can structure their work, study and social life around the sport.

Ava

My daughter Ava has been working with Brett for two-and-a-half years now. He provides a lot of attention to detail in planning her training schedule. The emphasis is on working on the ‘feel’ of different races, providing an adequate training load, progressing training load carefully, and injury prevention. This is especially important for children in the sport of running. His patience and guidance has helped Ava reduce anxiety in the lead up to and pre-major race meets. He discusses race plans and takes time to debrief post-race. This has improved Ava’s understanding of race strategies, and knowing and having confidence in her strengths. In the time she has been working with Brett, Ava has achieved many first-time performances including running at the Australian Cross Country Championships, her first state medals in the 800m, 1500m and steeplechase, State Little Athletics silver in the 800m and bronze in the 1500m. In 2019 Ava placed 6th in the 2000m steeplechase at the Australian Junior Athletics Championships, and at the 2019 NSW CHS State champs won silver in the 800m and bronze in the steeplechase. Ava is the current NSW All Schools & 2020 NSW Junior Steeplechase Champion!
