Helping busy runners train smart and crush their goals through personalized coaching and supportive community

Feeling a little lost on your running journey?

Let me help you find your stride!
Low motivation, lack of accountability, training plans that don't fit your busy life, or not knowing how to train the right way can all get in the way of committing to your running routine and your goals. Without guidance, you're second-guessing every step.


Maybe you are:

  • Dusting off your running shoes after a break and discovering that your body has changed and running feels harder than before.
  • Frustrated that your once consistent running routine has taken a backseat in your busy life. You miss the stress relief and enjoyment of a great run, but finding the time seems impossible.
  • Excited to start training for a new distance or your next race goal but unsure how to improve your performance and avoid injuries.


Sound familiar? With the right support, you can find the accountability, encouragement and motivation you need!

Run with purpose, confidence and joy

Hi, I’m Heini ('Haynee'). I help busy runners like you achieve their goals and make running a fun and fulfilling lifetime pursuit. Whether you want to learn how to run faster, how to run longer distances, or how to get back into running after a break, I can help you get on the right track!

I coach distances from the 5K to the marathon and enjoy working with recreational runners who juggle a busy life and want to conquer their next running challenge. I specialize in coaching women who are approaching or already in the Masters (over 40) age group.

Get personalized training that fits your life, not the other way around. As a certified coach with a background in massage therapy, I take a holistic approach to running. We'll talk about where you are now, where you want to go, and what things are most important to you along the way.


Reignite your motivation through a women's running community that will keep you accountable and moving forward. We'll inspire you to take on new challenges and reach goals you're yet to put on your bucket list!


Let's chat and create a training plan that gets you to the finish line (and beyond) feeling stronger and more confident than ever.

ONLINE PERSONAL RUN COACHING

One-on-one coaching for results 

Coaching is for everyone — you don’t need race goals to benefit from expert guidance in your training. When you work with a running coach you can trust, you get to focus on the running rather than the planning. Personal 1-on-1 coaching is totally customized, with continuous feedback and unlimited access to advice. Train for a race, improve your speed or endurance, or find a sustainable running routine that fits your busy life and keeps you healthy.


“I was the most prepared I've ever been for a race, and I managed to do the whole thing without any injuries. I have so much confidence in my running now.”

RUN EMPOWERED COMMUNITY

Your virtual run club for ongoing support

A shared journey makes success more likely — and much more fun! Our online run club and community blends coaching with team support. You’ll train “virtually together” with runners who become your cheerleaders, accountability buddies, and friends.


As a member, you get training tips, resources, group coaching calls, and a place to connect with other women runners near and far. Through membership, you also get access to personalized training plans and invites to retreats and races with us.


“Hearing other people describe conquering obstacles gave me the boost to get my shoes on and get out the door!”


“Heini's program gave me the structure and support I needed to get running again, along with goals I could visualize. I no longer feel old and out-of-shape, but strong and capable.”


Chrissy, Oregon

“Working with Heini, I learned to enjoy running. I finished my half marathon with a time I was super pleased with, while also having FUN during the race!”


Kelly, New Jersey

“It was the best group of women I could have hoped to have met! We were all at different levels of running experience, but Heini tailored her advice and training plans to each individual.”
