Feel Great Running -

Less effort, more fun in 4 weeks. 

Running feel like hard work? 

I get it - You put off going out the door because running feels uncomfortable. You feel breathless, heavy legged and envious of others who glide past effortlessly on the run. When running feels like hard work, we can resent it and treat it like another 'job' on our to-do list. We might even give up on it. But lets not do that. 

My Promise  - Running should be fun and we often put so much pressure on performance that it sucks all the joy from our time outdoors. You might even count down the minutes til your run is over? Its a pity, as running can give us so much - not just as the finish line - if we look beyond clock watching. 

Enjoy running more:  For almost 20 years I've been coaching runners of all levels to make running feel less effort and more enjoyable. Now for the first time I'm bringing all these tips together into one month of online coaching and training. 

We do it together: Over 4 weeks, I will share my favourite tips and tricks you can apply to your legs (and your head) to bring more ease and joy to your running. If you want to be running long into the future, its SO important to make running something that give you energy and joy, not depletes your confidence and enthusiasm.

Feel Great Running 

My Brand New Online Course will launch on 1st Feb 2026 but you can pre-register and be first in line when it goes live. 

You can also buy it as a gift for the runner in your life and they can choose when to kick off the course in spring 2026 or beyond. 

This course is for you if:

  • You REALLY want to enjoy running (not just when it is over).
  • You sometimes resent running (or avoid going) as it feels such hard work.  
  • You feel jealous every time you see a runner that makes it look easy
  • You often feel heavy on your feet and breathless on the run. 
  • You focus on the clock a lot and let that determine your running success. 
  • Every photo you see of yourself running looks like someone who is struggling
  • You would absolutely LOVE to be able to run free and confidently.
  • You could find the time, you just keep prioritising everything else ahead of running, telling yourself you will do it in the future! 
  • You are ready to change your approach and dedicate one month to finding joy in running again. 
  • You go out the door expecting running to be hard work. 
  • You are not sure how to improve your posture or technique to make it feel easier on your body. 
  • You want to be still running (and enjoying it injury free) years into the future. 

How the course works :

  • It will be 100% online so you can do it from anywhere in the world.
  • All you need to do is to to commit to is follow along week by week and try your best. 
  • The commitment - 3 times per week getting out the door - but with no pressure on speed/distance! 
  • 4 weeks on you will have a completely new positive approach to running and your potiential.
