What if achieving your running dreams could be this...
That’s the goal, right? To be mentally & physically strong to go out on race day and have the run of your dreams.
You stand at the starting line of your dream race knowing you’ve had the training cycle of your dreams.
Understanding your fueling needs doesn’t need to be complicated – but it isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Knowing that your fueling is nailed in and you’re not only getting the most out of your runs but your recovery is in hand too will be a comfort.
You feel energised because you are fueling right.
A training plan only works for you when it works for you! Your training plan needs to continually suit you and your needs each week to ensure every step of your journey is taking you towards your goal.
You are never alone on your journey with guidance & direction if work/life impacts your training.
You and your goal(s) are not a one-size-fits-all, so don’t settle for anything less than a personalised approach to work for you and your goals.
You have individual accountability & support that you need to achieve your goal.
Coz what you do day in, day out is so frickin’ amazing, you gotta start dialing up the celebration and learning to not listen to your inner critic (aka trickster brain).
You learn to recognise and celebrate all wins — big & small.
Telling you when to push the pace and when to slow down and listen to your body.
You run confidently as you have someone in your corner acting as a guide.
The coaching container timeframe you choose will be based on your current fitness level & your running goal(s)
Whether you are brand new to running, or training for a multi-day event, or an ultramarathon, we will create a plan that suits you perfectly.
Our online 1:1 running mindset coaching packages are bespoke and therefore created to support you and your running goal(s)
PERSONALISATION IS KEY
No matter what distance you’re training for the first time can feel scary and overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to be this way. This new experience can be fun. Give anxiety a vacation and allow 1:1 coaching to support you in achieving a new height.
Runner 1, we’ll focus on all training factors that come with this new distance, including gear, nutrition, run types, mileage, mindset & identity.
Runner 1
Training for a new distance
If you’ve been ‘doing all the right things’ and haven’t achieved your coveted PB/PR then 1:1 coaching can help identify the gaps that you’ve not seen able to see.
Runner 2, we’ll address those gaps to get you training mentally & physically strong, with the ultimate PB goal in mind.
Runner 2
Focused on getting a PB
If you are returning to running after a short or long break, 1:1 coaching can help you return to running in a healthy way.
Runner 3, we’ll heavily focus on mindset work to ensure trickster brain isn’t putting you down for where you are today vs where you were pre-break.
Runner 3
Returning after a break
If you are completely new to running it can feel like a physical battle as well as a mental one, but it doesn’t need to be this way. Learning good habits is key as well as listening to your body to prevent injuries. Focusing on mindset will also be key from day 1 to shhh trickster brain (or the inner critic!) to help you continue running strong when your brain tells you to quit.
Runner 4, you’re gonna have so much fun! We’ll slowly build up your running duration while your confidence soars.
Runner 4
Brand new to running
It can be frustrating as heck when your training dial stops moving…however being frustrated won’t be helping your runs or how you feel about them.
Runner 5, the key for you is focusing a lot on mindset as well as overhauling your training plan to get you seeing results fast.
Runner 5
Training has plateaued
If you keep getting injured and are fed up with being on the sidelines icing and returning, then let’s get you running strong and implementing habits that support you physically.
Runner 6, you’re gonna be a completely different runner after 1:1 coaching. We’ll do an overhaul of your training plan, focus on habits to support you running strong, and dive into mindset to see what’s there that’s stopping you from listening to your body.
Runner 6
Injuries galore

I also treat every single one of my clients as best friends – we cry together, laugh together and celebrate together.
Not to mention my qualifications:
- NAASFP Marathon Coach certification
- Culinary Nutrition Expert (ACN)
- UESCA Ultrarunning Coaching certification
- UESCA Sports Nutrition certification
Why work with Coach G
“Coach G helped me to go slower on my slow days and pushed me outside my comfort zone on my tempo days. She listened when I got down on myself and helped me to find my own ways of turning down the negative thoughts. She taught me how to train effectively while lowering my risks of injury.”

“I’ve often struggled with injuries and didn’t know what I was doing wrong, but Coach G helped me understand how to lower the risk of injuries and how to manage them when they did come along. Now I’ve run two marathons, a half marathon and multiple 5K and 10K races. There is no way I would’ve managed all of that without Coach G behind me.”
Karen
