Meet Your Coach — Dr Tristan Koekemoer

The Best Chiropractor in Cape Town

Dr Tristan Koekemoer | The Cape Town Chiro

I’m Tristan, a sports chiropractor based in Cape Town and now the running coach for Running Late Club. My background blends clinical experience with performance coaching — helping runners, triathletes, CrossFitters, and everyone in between move better, perform stronger, and stay injury-free.

Who I Am

I run my practice, Chiropractor Cape Town | Dr Tristan Koekemoer, with a focus on sports and performance care. I’ve worked with athletes across disciplines — from first-time 5 km runners to seasoned marathoners and competitive CrossFit athletes. My approach is evidence-based, practical, and built around sustainable performance — not gimmicks or quick fixes.

As both a clinician and coach, I understand the demands of training, how injuries develop, and how to prevent them while still building fitness.

My Coaching Philosophy

The goal is simple: train smarter, stay healthy, and perform at your best. Here’s how we do it:

70% Easy Running

Most of your weekly mileage will be in the aerobic zone — steady, conversational running that builds your aerobic base, strengthens your cardiovascular system, and reduces injury risk.

30% High-Quality Sessions

The remaining 30% is dedicated to purposeful intensity — intervals, tempo runs, and hill work designed to improve lactate threshold, speed, and race readiness.

Strength & Conditioning

Strength training isn’t optional; it’s essential. We include structured strength sessions to improve running economy, reduce fatigue, and bulletproof your body against overuse injuries.

Deload & Recovery Weeks

Every block includes scheduled recovery weeks to let your body adapt and consolidate fitness. The best runners know that progress happens when you recover properly.

Periodised Training Structure

We follow a clear training cycle — Base → Build → Peak → Taper — to ensure you arrive on race day fresh, fit, and confident. (All using the TrainingPeaks App)

What’s Ahead

We’ve got an exciting race season coming up:

Cape Town Marathon – 29 weeks away (24 May 2026)
Two Oceans Half Marathon – 24 weeks away (12 April 2026)
ABSA Cape Town 10 km – 27 weeks away (10 May 2026)

Each of these races has a slightly different focus, but the same underlying principle applies — consistent training, smart intensity, and strength work to support your progress.

What to Expect with Running Late Club

As part of Running Late Club, you’ll get access to structured training plans, clear guidance, and support from a coach who understands both the performance and clinical sides of running. Whether your goal is to complete your first race or chase a new personal best, the structure is designed to help you get there safely and effectively.

Let’s get to work.
The next few months are about building consistency, fitness, and confidence — step by step. See you on the road.
