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 find a sustainable running routine that fits your busy life and keeps you healthy. When you work with a running coach you can trust, you get to focus on the running rather than the planning.
I work with runners just like you, who are:
Sound familiar? With the right support, you can find the accountability, encouragement and motivation you need!
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 want to learn how to run faster, how to run longer distances, or simply how to find the joy in running and make it part of your life, I’m here to help you get on the right track.
Why work with me?
You get 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. Together we'll design a schedule that feels enjoyable, balanced and fun — and gets you ready for the start line or the next steps on your running journey.
Don’t let fear or a lack of knowledge stand in your way! I can help you grow your confidence and become the runner you're meant to be.
“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.”

“My favorite part is that my brain can relax with the planning and focus on the running when someone I trust laid out a plan for me! Hiring a coach has been a highlight of my running year.”
