The Generation Run Running Squad was developed to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where like-minded people could meet and train together under the guidance of qualified, experienced, and passionate coaches. At Gen Run; ability, age and experience doesn’t matter; you can just run because you love it! Because that’s why I do it. The Gen Run Squad is a welcoming and fun community where lasting friendships are made, where your training is guided and personalised, and where you can feel a sense of belonging, comraderie, and kindred-spirit whatever your goals and running ambitions.
The Gen Run Squad meet for training on weekdays at various locations in the outer Eastern suburbs of Lilydale, Mt Evelyn, Croydon and surrounds. We provide a variety of structured training sessions including: track/speed, intervals, hills, tempo, distance and recovery runs. Gen Runners support each-other at various races and events, and attend organized weekends away to train, race, or just run and relax with friends!
Bec Rosel – ‘Level 3 Advanced Recreational Running Coach’ & Seasoned Marathon Runner.
Steve Rosel – ‘Level 2 Recreational Running Coach’ & passionate ultra-trail & road runner.
Steve and Bec are passionate running coaches and runners, Founders of Generation Run, and the proud owners of ‘The Running Company Lilydale’.
Running came around for Bec back in 2010 with a run to the milk bar and back (roughly 3km) in a pair of jeans, a raincoat, and an old pair of runners that had never actually been used for running!
An attempt at 27 years of age to perhaps become a runner?! Two knee reconstructions…why not right?!
Running took hold of Bec hook, line, and sinker! Before she knew it, she was running several times a week, extending the duration, running faster, and running further.
Both fell in love with each other (more than ever!) and running so much that they earned their accredited coaching qualifications and in 2015 set up their own running squad in the outer eastern suburbs called “GENERATION RUN”. If you live in the area or even walk around the lake, there’s a fair chance you’ve seen them, with over 150 members in the squad, it’s hard to miss The Gen Run Squad!
For Bec and Steve running is all about enjoying their passion together and sharing their love of running and a healthy and active lifestyle with those around them.
With Steve and Bec both having completed numerous road and trail half, full and ultra-marathons, Bec with over 7 years of coaching experience and Steve having over 10 year’s experience in the footwear industry’s run-specialty space, together in 2019 they launched The Running Company Lilydale to further help people of the Yarra Ranges and beyond to enjoy their running and outdoor activity with their perfect footwear, apparel, and accessories for health, happiness, well-being, and longevity!
Gen Run is proud to be associated with the following partners.
‘The Running Company Lilydale is owned and operated by passionate and experienced runners and Generation Run coaches Steve and Bec Rosel. Fully understanding the importance of the fit and quality of running footwear and apparel; they are dedicated to providing a professional and ethical service to runners of all standards, and advice in all areas of specialty running footwear and product requirements.’
Running has taken us to witness spectacular places, to befriend the most beautiful people, to discover wonderful things about ourselves and each-other, and to continually bring joy and happiness to our lives. Sharing this gift has always been extremely important to us, and through coaching our recreational running squad – ‘Generation Run’, we have come to find that the joy of running is so much more than the physical aspect of putting one foot in front of the other; Rather, the greater power, seems to lie in its miraculous and proven benefits to mind and soul.
The creation of The Running Company Lilydale has been so many years in the making. Truly a labour of love, passion, and a test of our dedication and perseverance. The universe has made us wait until the perfect time, and now, we are ready to bring the people of the Yarra Valley, the Yarra Ranges, and beyond the most ‘special’ of specialty running stores.
January 2019 saw us open the doors to a welcoming hub for the running community and we are so very excited to extend our passion, experience, and quality service to you all.
We are open Monday to Friday from 10am – 5:30pm and Saturday from 10am – 4pm
On Sundays we RUN!!!
