Small Group PROGrams
Group training to supercharge your motivation
I run seasonal training groups that give you the best of both worlds: expert coaching with the added camaraderie and sense of shared achievement of a group. These programs combine personalized training with the magic of a mastermind: you'll learn from your coach, but you'll also learn from each other.
You'll have your own training plan and, most importantly, help with adjusting it when needed. But you'll also have a group of other women to connect and share the experience with. There's a strong educational element to these training groups, with weekly training topics, bite-sized lessons, and easy access to coaching both in our community and through virtual meetups.
“I experienced the best of both worlds: I had the support and accountability (which I need!) of training in a group, yet I also got just the right amount of individual coaching from Heini to cater to my particular race and situation.”
What you get with all online group programs:
1
A training plan that fits your schedule, goals and experience. Never wonder “how much should I run today?” again.
2
Access to the Run Empowered online community, including all the perks, resources, and a private space for you to chat with your training group.
3
Encouragement, accountability and education, with regular opportunities for group coaching, connection, and online support.
4
Feedback and advice from Coach Heini when you have any questions, setbacks, or need to adjust your training plan.
“I had unintentionally put running on the back burner, but the coaching really motivated me to focus on my running goals.”

Fall Marathon Training Group
June 3rd — October 2024
(18-20 weeks)
Conquer the marathon with expert coaching and a supportive team by your side!
This program is for you if you have a marathon in October and you're looking for an inspiring group of other women to train with and a qualified coach to guide you. Whether it's your very first marathon or you've run a few but feel like you haven't quite cracked the marathon distance or reached your potential, this is the group for you.
You'll learn what it takes to be successful in the marathon and how to get to the start line feeling healthy, prepared and confident. You'll get the tools you need from training plans to mindset skills and race day strategies. Through personalized coaching, motivating group meetups, and easy-to-implement training tips, you'll build the endurance and knowledge to smash your marathon goals!
Your training plan can be adjusted for a race anytime in October 2024.
What you'll get:
TRAINING PLAN
I'll ask all about your marathon experience, injury history, current mileage, weekly schedule, training preferences and goals so I can match you with a plan from my library that's the best fit for your needs. Then I'll help you adapt it so it suits you perfectly, and we keep adjusting it along the way if we need to. No more cookie cutter marathon training!
An upgrade option is available if you want a plan that's completely custom-written for you. I only have a limited number of spaces (2-3) available for this option.
COACHING
Over the course of the program, I'll offer 10 group coaching calls for all your questions, discussions on specific training topics, and for you to deepen the team connections in small groups. We'll schedule these calls for days and times that are convenient for all participants.
You get unlimited online access to coaching if questions come up between meetups or you need help adjusting your weekly schedule. You're not left to navigate any of this on your own!
ACCOUNTABILITY & SUPPORT
Our small groups are big on accountability! The training group gets a private chat space in our Run Empowered community for ongoing motivation and to fully share the experience. You can connect with your teammates through the community any time — there's nothing better than the support and motivation you get from others on the same journey!
EDUCATION
The program includes training tips, group discussions, and exercises on topics such as mindset, fueling, strength training, pacing, injury prevention, recovery and race day strategies. You'll learn about "the wall" and other common marathon obstacles, with advice to help you overcome issues you may have experienced in the past. You'll learn a whole lot about marathoning and yourself!
You'll also have access to all our existing community resources from mobility routines to self-care.

Fall Run Club
August/September start — TBC
(12 weeks)
Our seasonal run club gives you a virtual team to train with, whatever your goal distance or race. Many of the runners taking part are training for 10Ks or half marathons, but you don't need a race goal to join us.
You'll get to share your running journey, learn about smart training habits and progress at your own pace... with a training plan that's right for your level of experience, goals, and weekly schedule!
More details and registration coming in the summer of 2024. Get your name on the waitlist and you'll be the first to hear when that information is available!
“Before I signed up I felt lost, not knowing what comes next after a Couch to 5K online program. This coaching group has been exactly what I was looking for!”
Maria, Oregon
“I don't know if I would have made it through the grueling months of getting into running shape if I hadn't joined Heini's group. Now, some days running feels as easy as it did when I was younger!”
Debbie, California
“I already feel stronger, more flexible, and more resilient since being more consistent with my running routine. Being part of the group is a total game-changer.”
