1:1 online Run Coaching
Training is hard.
Coaching makes it simple.
Decisions, decisions. How many miles per week will you need for your half marathon? Should you do an easy run or something else today? Does the tightness in your hamstring mean you need to rest? How do you know what pace you should be running?
Training can be really hard — before you even put your running shoes on. As a newer runner, you may not feel like you have the right knowledge to progress safely. When you’re more experienced, you may have a lot of knowledge and skill, yet it may be hard to figure out the right ingredients to progress to the next level without risking injury or burnout.
That’s where coaching comes in. I take the planning off your plate so that running becomes something you look forward to! As your coach, I am able to take an objective look at your training and guide you in a way that suits your goals, routines and experience.
Complete your first 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon
Improve your race times, running form, speed or endurance
Safely get back to running after a break
Build a healthy and consistent running routine for life
Coaching can help you:
How it works:
1
We have an in-depth conversation about your running goals, coaching needs and lifestyle so I understand your future vision, challenges, work and family schedules and any injury concerns.
2
I’ll create a 100% custom online training plan that gives you all your workouts and guidelines for completing them. You sync it with your running watch or app to share your workout data.
3
You leave workout notes in the app, and I’ll give you feedback and guidance. We check in on a schedule that works for you, and you can reach out with your questions any time.
4
We regularly review your training, progress, and goals, and adjust the plan as often as we need to. Our frequent check-ins and meetings keep us on the same page and on track.
“Now when I go for a run, I know exactly what I’m doing and why.”
This is what you can expect when you train with me:
Holistic, health-first coaching
You need to get out of your comfort zone to get faster and stronger, but staying healthy today is the only way you’ll continue training tomorrow. I will teach you how to listen to your body, which signals to trust, and share tips for effective self-care. When you train with me, your well-being comes first.
Personalized care and attention
I want to get to know you — as a runner and as a person. I appreciate that there's life outside of running and want to understand what commitments you have and what stress in your life looks like. We build this trust on open communication so we can better plan for your individual strengths and obstacles.
Encouragement with empathy
I ask questions, listen, and coach with kindness and flexibility — and I hold you accountable and know how to push you when your training shows you’re ready for more. As your coach, I always strive to challenge you in positive ways that help you feel confident, capable and accomplished.
“Training with Heini has brought so much joy to my life. It revitalized my relationship with running and my health and taught me that I can create new goals beyond meeting a certain pace.”

Melissa, Michigan
“I have always kind of 'winged it' in training for different races, but with Heini’s incredible guidance, I had the best 4 months of running that I have ever had!”​
Erica, Oregon
“Heini creates a low-pressure environment that leads to surprisingly good results! This year, I went from barely being able to run 5 minutes to running a 10K. She balances expectations with empathy.”
Anna, New York
