Find ease and enjoyment in running through your 40s and beyond
Hi, I’m Heini (”Haynee”). I specialize in coaching recreational women runners in their 40s and 50s. I can help you reach your big, ambitious race goals or find everyday accountability and motivation. Whether you're running for performance or for health and fitness, I'm here to support you in finding ways to balance training and the stresses of your busy life for better results and holistic wellbeing.​
​​
Why work with me? ​​
It's simple: I know what it's like to train, juggle life, and manage stress as a perimenopausal woman — it's part of my own personal experience every day. There's no text book for that. I understand how training and recovery needs change and how important it is to find sustainable routines.
​
When you work with me, you get smart, personalized training that fits your life, not a rigid plan you have to fit your life around. We'll talk about where you are now, where you want to be, and what's most important to you along the way. You can run with confidence, knowing every mile supports your running goals and your long-term health.
​
I'd love to help you get on the right track by building habits that feel good and get you ready for the starting line.
“I finished my half marathon with a time I was super pleased with, while also having FUN during the race!”
"I have so much confidence in my running now."
Coaching is for every runner — you don’t need big performance goals to benefit from expert guidance in your training. Get ready for a race, improve your speed or endurance, or establish sustainable habits and a routine that fits your life and keeps you healthy. Together, we'll design a schedule that feels enjoyable, balanced and doable.
​
I work with runners just like you, who are:
-
excited to start training for a new distance or your next race goal but unsure how to take your performance to the next level — you need something better than a standard training plan.
-
dusting off your running shoes after a break and discovering that your body has changed and doesn't move or recover the way it used to. Your running needs to change, too, so you can stay healthy.
-
frustrated that while you want to run more and enjoy it, you keep starting and stopping with so many competing demands on your time. You need to find motivation and positive accountability, so you can craft consistent habits that keep you moving forward.
Sound familiar? You don't have to figure it out alone! With the right guidance and encouragement, you can find a clear direction and feel strong, capable and energized.

“Heini understands the intricacies of coaching a middle-aged, 'over committed' female runner. She knows how to guide and push with gentleness and compassion and coaches by listening to her runner.”
