“I grew in ways I didn’t expect. I felt safe and encouraged to dig deep and gain meaningful insights about myself — not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I always left our sessions feeling inspired and motivated.”
Kelly, Illinois
“I learned so much about the science of running, how to build up strength, my inner motivation, and how to set and reach goals. Heini was always available to answer questions or adjust the personalized training plan when needed.”​
Maria, Oregon
“Heini's program kept me motivated through the winter. We cheered each other on and exchanged ideas. Some days I struggled to get out the door to run and it was reassuring to know my running mates had those days too!”​​​

Meet coach Heini Tallent
I have been coaching women's running groups since 2015, and I'm passionate about the work I do. Groups of inspiring women have played a key role in my own running journey, right from the start — there's such magic in women coming together to empower and encourage each other!
I created the first Run Empowered program during the pandemic to bring runners together, and it soon grew into something much bigger. These programs have included supportive groups for brand-new runners, structured half marathon training programs, a seasonal virtual run club, and even two weekend retreats in person.
​
Getting certified as a functional medicine health coach has allowed me to add another valuable layer to these groups. You'll work on not just your running, but the wellness habits that support your training — because you're more than just a runner.
​
If you have questions about the program, email me and ask! I'll be happy to help you figure out if this is the right fit.
I'd love to welcome you into our community this season!
“Joining this group is one of the best things I've ever done for my running!”
Got questions?
WHO IS THIS GROUP PROGRAM FOR? Women runners who are interested in holistic running wellness, habits for health and longevity, and who want to create routines that are based on personal insights and evidence-based information. It doesn't matter how much you run, or how seriously - everyone sets goals around what's most important or timely for them. For this program, we want team players! Our sessions are collaborative and most successful when everyone actively contributes to conversations.
WHAT'S THE TIME COMMITMENT? Taking part in this program isn't meant to be a strain on your schedule. Rather, you'll work on establishing small habits that are easy to fit in your life. Our live calls range from 30-minute Q&As to 60-minute coaching sessions. Everything else is asynchronous and done whenever you have time for it, in whatever time you have available: connecting with the group on WhatsApp or working on short exercises such as journaling or wellness self-assessments. Like most things, you get out what you put in - it's flexible and entirely up to you!
WHEN & WHERE DO THE LIVE SESSIONS TAKE PLACE? Coaching sessions are held virtually on Google Meet. When you sign up for the waitlist, I'll reach out to find out what your expectations are and what days and times might work best for you. I'll do my best to find a time that works for everyone who wants to join. Typically, it has been a midweek evening, but this could change. It's one reason why getting on the list early is very helpful!
WHAT ARE THE COACHING SESSIONS LIKE? Our group meetups are a mix of accountability check-ins, discussions on a specific topic, personal feedback on your training and health questions, and goal setting. You may learn about a topic that the group has an interest in or do a short exercise or group activity. Everyone gets to share their progress and feel supported. We always finish by setting our own action steps or intentions for the week ahead.
WHAT'S THE INVESTMENT? This program is always a little different, and the cost varies depending on the program duration and structure. Programs planned for 2026 range 8-12 weeks and $300-$600. Payment plans are always available.
