Don't Let Life Derail Your Running (Again)
ZenRUN Personalised Run Coaching
Most coaching chases outcomes.
ZenRUN protects the one thing that keeps you calm, grounded, and feeling like yourself - your relationship with running - no matter what life throws at you.
What ZenRUN Coaching Looks Like
Each week you get:
• A personalised training plan built around your real life
• A simple weekly check-in with me
• Adjustments whenever life gets busy
• Mental tools to break the stop-start cycle
• Full ZenRUN Club access
$37usd/week ~ Cancel anytime after 4 weeks
-----------------------------------------------
You know how this goes.
Life gets busy. Work deadlines, family commitments, social obligations. Running gets pushed aside - “I’ll get back to it next week.”
But next week never comes.
The problem isn’t motivation.
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.
Beginner-friendly. Flexible. Real-life runner approved.
10 spots available for personalised weekly coaching.
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.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
What If Running Actually Supported Your Busy Life?
Imagine this instead:
Life is still busy. Work, family, social events - all the usual chaos.
But running stays part of your life.
Not grinding. Not stressing. Just staying connected in a way that actually feels good.
Your energy is higher. Your head is clearer.
And instead of constantly starting over, you’re building momentum.
This Coaching Is NOT...
Let's be clear about what this isn't:
✖ This is NOT about running big miles/ks
✖ This is NOT about guilt, discipline, or "earning your food"
✔ This IS a simple plan that fits around real life
✔ This IS about enjoying life while still moving towards your running goals
✔ This IS permission to be human while staying consistent
✔ This IS an ongoing coaching relationship - not a plan you’re left to manage alone
Here's What You Get
Personalised ZenRUN Weekly Run Coaching
Built on clarity, consistency, capacity, and confidence — shaped week by week around your real life.
Forget rigid 12-week plans that assume life never changes.
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.
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.
We adjust intelligently so you protect your fitness and your energy.
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 grows from how running feels - not how hard you push yourself.
You'll get specific mental tools to step out of 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.
ZenRUN Club is where your support tools live - guided audio runs, challenges, and resources that help you stay in rhythm between coaching check-ins.
Here's what it looks like inside:
Everything organised and ready for you - no overwhelm, just clear guidance every single week.
Investment & Commitment
This isn’t a one-off program you complete and move on from.
Your Investment
Personalised Run Coaching
How the Commitment Works
• Minimum commitment: 4 weeks (This allows time for your personalised setup, intake call, and initial plan adjustments.)
• After that: cancel anytime, after 4 weeks. No contracts. No long-term lock-ins. Stay because it’s helping - not because you’re trapped.
Most runners stay because having the mental load removed makes running feel easier and more enjoyable.
A Quick Reality Check on Value
Most private running coaches charge $50–$100+ per week and lock you into long commitments.
ZenRUN Coaching gives you:
• Personal, ongoing coaching
• Plans that adapt to real life
• Mental support alongside physical training
• Full access to the ZenRUN Club
…without long contracts or pressure (just give me 4 weeks).
Bottom Line
If you want:
• Running to fit your real life
• Consistency without guilt
• Support that adapts as things change
This is designed for you.
If you like to compare options, here’s how ZenRUN stacks up...
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.
🎁 BONUS: Run for the Joy of It
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 😉)
✨ Short, easy lessons you can dip into anytime
✨ Simple practices you can use on any run
✨ A calmer, more enjoyable approach to movement
✨ Tools to help you feel present, grounded, and confident while running
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. 💛

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.

"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 🤸♀️
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.
"ZenRUN coaching isn’t about shaving minutes off your pace.
It’s about adding more life to your days."
This Is For You If...
Time to Decide
Life isn’t slowing down.
If nothing changes, the stop-start cycle continues.
But if you start now? You'll have ongoing support to build real momentum, feel energised, and run consistently without guilt.
I only have 10 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 sure yet? That’s totally okay.
Let’s have a quick chat and see if we’re a good fit. :)

Do I need experience?
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.
What if my life is really chaotic?
That's exactly who this is for. Your plan is built around your life, not some ideal schedule.
Do you use AI to create plans?
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.
How do I get my plan?
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.
How does the weekly check-in work?
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.
When does coaching start?
We choose a start date that works for you after your intake call.
What happens with ZenRUN Club access?
You get full access while you're coaching. If you ever stop coaching, you can continue Club access at a reduced rate.
Can I cancel anytime?
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.
How is this different from a running app?
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.
How is this different from expensive coaches?
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.
