The Bundle

Your first trail kilometres, structured

The Foundation Bundle brings together three programs designed for women who are new to trail running or returning after time away. Each program builds on the last, taking you from confident 5km trail running through to completing your first 10km trail event.

Trail running for women is not just about fitness. It is about learning to move confidently on varied terrain, understanding how your body responds to different surfaces and conditions, and building the kind of resilience that carries you through a full race. These programs are built around that reality.

Work through the programs in sequence or start where your current fitness sits. The coaching and community are with you throughout.

The Programs

What is included in this bundle

Three programs covering the full foundation range, from your first trail outing through to race-ready 10km fitness.

Program 1

5km Trail Foundations

6 Weeks  |  Beginner

Designed for women who are new to trail running or have been away from running for a while. Builds from short trail outings to a confident, comfortable 5km on mixed terrain. Introduces trail-specific movement, basic strength and the habits that make trail running sustainable.

Focus: trail confidence, movement foundations, building a consistent habit

Program 2

10km Trail Foundations

8 Weeks  |  Beginner-Intermediate

Builds from a solid 5km base to a strong, race-ready 10km trail finish. Progressive long run structure, terrain variety and strength work develop the durability required to run further on technical ground. Prepares you to finish your first trail event with confidence rather than survival.

Focus: building to 10km, terrain confidence, race-day preparation

Program 3

Find Your Fast: 10km

6 Weeks  |  All-In Member Program

Once you have completed the 10km Trail Foundations program, Find Your Fast introduces structured speed work and performance training for runners who want to improve their 10km time. Tempo runs, interval work and race-specific sessions are layered into a 6-week block designed for women with trail experience ready to push further.

Focus: performance, speed, improving 10km time on trail

How We Train For It

Distance-based training, built specifically for where you are starting

Every session in the Foundation Bundle is designed around your current distance, not a one-size-fits-all program. Each program targets a specific distance milestone: 5km, 10km, then speed at 10km. Progression is deliberate. Nothing is rushed.

Trail-Specific Movement

Running on trail is not the same as running on road. These programs teach you how to read terrain, adapt your foot strike on varied surfaces and build the ankle stability and body awareness that trail running demands. You learn trail technique from the first session, not after your first injury.

Gradual Load Progression

One of the most common mistakes in new runners is increasing load too quickly. The Foundation Bundle uses a structured, week-by-week progression that builds your aerobic base and tissue capacity together. The goal is to arrive at your first race feeling ready, not just surviving the training.

Strength for Trail Runners

Running alone is not enough to keep you injury-free on technical ground. Integrated strength sessions focus on the glutes, hips and single-leg stability that trail running requires. The strength program is designed around running, not around a gym, and can be done at home with minimal equipment.

Effort-Based Training

Trail running pace is meaningless on variable terrain. These programs train you to run by perceived effort and heart rate, so you develop body awareness that transfers across any course, any surface and any conditions. This is the skill that separates confident trail runners from anxious ones.

Fuelling Basics

Even at shorter distances, understanding how to fuel for effort makes a significant difference to how you feel and perform. The Foundation programs introduce practical nutrition guidance for training runs, teaching habits that carry forward into longer events as your running grows.

Building the Identity

The hardest part of becoming a trail runner is not the fitness. It is believing you belong out there. These programs include mindset and confidence work alongside the physical training, so by the time you reach your first race start line, you have already done it a hundred times in your head.
