You know how this goes.
Life gets busy. Your calendar explodes with work deadlines, family commitments, social obligations.
Running? That gets pushed aside. "I'll get back to it next week."
But next week never comes.
The guilt creeps in. Every missed run. Every time you think "I should be running."
You're not lazy. You're not unmotivated.
You just need a plan that works WITH your life - not against it.
What if running could finally feel sustainable?
⭐ A personalised running plan that adapts to YOUR life each week
⭐ Stay consistent without overthinking your runs
⭐ Enjoy life guilt-free while building real momentum
⭐ Never "start over" again
This isn’t about fixing your running for a few weeks - it’s about having ongoing support so you don’t keep falling out of rhythm.
The Consistency Problem
Let's be honest: Life is tough on runners.
You're too busy. Too tired. Too committed to a million other things.
Running starts to feel like one more obligation you can't squeeze in.
So you skip it. And skip it again. And suddenly it's been three weeks.
The guilt creeps in. Every missed run. Every indulgent meal. Every lazy morning.
You're mentally drained from beating yourself up about it.
And here’s the kicker: every stop-start cycle means you spend weeks rebuilding instead of actually progressing.
The running that usually resets your mind and energises your body? Gone exactly when you need it most.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Imagine this instead:
You've been to the parties. You've enjoyed the food and drinks. You've handled the chaos of work, family, and everything in between.
And you've also been running.
Not grinding. Not stressing. Just staying connected in a way that actually feels good.
Your energy is up. Your head is clear. And you're not carrying around that heavy guilt.
You're building momentum - not constantly starting over.
That's what ZenRUN Coaching delivers.
Let's be clear about what this isn't:
An ongoing training plan designed to adapt to your real life — week by week.
1. Your "Real Life" Weekly Training Plan
Forget "perfect" 12-week plans that assume your life never changes.
Every week, I build a plan based on your upcoming calendar. Have a late-night work event? A family weekend? We adjust your runs so they fit in - guilt-free.
Behind the scenes, I use AI as a tool to help me create your plans more efficiently - trained in the ZenRUN coaching methodology and guided by my 30 years of coaching experience, your detailed intake form, our personal conversations, and your ongoing weekly feedback.
Think of it like a chef using a food processor - the tool helps, but the expertise and personal touch are what make it work.
No two plans are ever the same.
This isn't about forcing running into your life. It's about making running work FOR your life.
2. Weekly Personal Human Check-ins
This is the heart of ZenRUN.
You aren't talking to an algorithm or a bot. Every week, we connect via email, voice memo, or WhatsApp to discuss how you're feeling, not just your pace. It's personal accountability that actually cares about your mental health.
I typically respond within 24 hours - you're never left hanging.
3. The "Life Happens" Strategy
When things go sideways (and they will), you don't have to guess how to "make up" for missed miles/ks.
I'm in your corner to pivot your plan in real-time, ensuring you keep your momentum without the stress.
No punishment. No guilt. Just smart adjustments that keep you moving forward.
4. Mental Tools & "Guilt-Busting" Frameworks
Most coaches teach you how to run faster; I teach you how to feel better. Because consistency comes from how running feels - not how disciplined you are.
You'll get specific mental strategies to stop the "all-or-nothing" cycle and reconnect with the joy of movement.
Running should be your reset button—not another source of stress.
5. Full ZenRUN Club Access (Included)
You're not doing this alone.
You get immediate access to our community, guided audio runs for those days you just want to "press play," and monthly challenges to keep things fresh.
The Club is where all the tools and resources live - supporting you alongside your weekly coaching.
You don’t need to do anything special here - it’s simply where your support tools live while we coach together.
Here's what it looks like inside:


Everything organised and ready for you - no overwhelm, just clear guidance every single week.


What This Really Means
Apps give you plans - but no understanding of your life.
Traditional coaching gives you expertise - but often with rigid structures and long commitments.
ZenRUN Coaching sits in the middle.
You get:
•Personalised weekly coaching
•Real-life flexibility
•Mental support alongside physical training
•A support ecosystem (ZenRUN Club) included
All without pressure, contracts, or burnout culture.
You’re not paying for motivation.
You’re paying to have the thinking taken care of.
8-Week ZenRUN Program
(Value $47 USD)
Most running advice is about pace, distance, or discipline.
This program focuses on something just as important - remembering why you run at all.
Run for the Joy of It helps you reconnect with running as a source of clarity, ease, and enjoyment - not just another task on your to-do list.
It’s about running for running’s sake.
No performance pressure. No targets to chase.
(Think of it as therapy… but cheaper, and with better shoes 😉)
There’s no pressure to “complete” anything.
No deadlines. No expectations.
It’s simply there to support you — alongside your coaching — whenever you want running to feel like running again. 💛

I'm Michelle - a double-certified running coach (traditional + ultra distances).
I've been running for over 30 years - everything from 5Ks to 200-mile trail running adventures.
I'm also a qualified teacher, author, and host of the ZenRUN podcast with over 500 episodes exploring the intersection of running and mental clarity.
Here's what really matters though:
I don't just coach the physical side of running. I coach the mental side too.
Running saved my life. Multiple times...
When I was 25, overweight, and stuck in an unhappy situation - running gave me the strength to change my life.
Through 30 years of ups and downs - running has been my constant. My reset button. My joy.
I created ZenRUN and the ZenRUN Club because I believe running should (& can) feel good - not like punishment.
The way I train now - flexible, adaptable, human - is exactly how I coach.
$37 USD / week
Approx $50 AUD per week (exchange rate varies)
"Running doesn't always have to be hard to matter. It can be gentle. It can be joyful."
Most coaching is designed to get you to a finish line. ZenRUN is designed to get you to a place where running is the best part of your day—forever."
This coaching is designed to prove you don't have to choose between enjoying life and staying fit.
You can have both.
I've spent three decades figuring out how to make running sustainable, joyful, and life-enhancing.
Now I want to help you do the same.
Time to Decide
Life isn't slowing down. The busy season is always just around the corner.
If you wait, you'll keep repeating the same cycle—starting, stopping, starting over.
But if you start now? You'll have ongoing support to build real momentum, feel energised, and run consistently without guilt.
I only have limited coaching spots available. Once those fill up, there's a waitlist.
This is your chance to break the cycle. To stop starting over. To build momentum that lasts.
No more guilt. No more recovery weeks. Just smart running that supports your life.

Not at all. This coaching is perfect for beginners, parkrunners and return-to-running runners. f you run or want to run you’re in the right place.
That's exactly who this is for. Your plan is built around your life, not some ideal schedule.
Yes — but only as a behind-the-scenes tool.
I use AI trained in the ZenRUN coaching methodology to help me work more efficiently, so I can spend my time actually coaching you.
Every plan is shaped by my 30 years of experience, your intake form, our conversations, and your weekly feedback.
The AI helps with the mechanics - the coaching comes from me.
Think of it like a chef using a food processor: the tool helps, but the expertise and personal touch are what make it work. No two plans are ever the same.
Fill in the intake form, we have an intake call, and then you receive your first week's plan. Every week after that, you'll get your next week's plan adjusted to your life.
I check in with you each week (email, voice memo, or WhatsApp) to keep you supported and on track. I typically respond within 24 hours.
We choose a start date that works for you after your intake call.
You get full access while you're coaching. If you ever stop coaching, you can continue Club access at a reduced rate.
Yes! After your initial 4 weeks (which covers your intake, setup, and first month of coaching), you can cancel anytime with no penalties or lock-in contracts. This gives us both time to make sure the coaching is the right fit for you.
Apps give you algorithm-only plans. I give you human support that adapts to your real life—not just your running data. Plus, I use AI as a tool guided by 30 years of coaching experience.
You get the same high-level personal support, but at a fraction of the cost. Plus, you can cancel anytime after 4 weeks—no 3-6 month commitments.
