Your Training Starts Here

Roller Coaster 12km Training Program

A female-first training experience designed to prepare you for the rolling climbs, fast descents, and runnable single track of the Roller Coaster 12km.

The Roller Coaster 12.4km is short on paper, but it asks for rhythm, restraint, and confidence across constantly changing terrain. It rewards runners who can stay relaxed on the runnable sections, manage effort on the climbs, and move smoothly when the trail keeps asking questions.

This program gives you the structure to build fitness without rushing, so you arrive at the start line feeling steady, prepared, and capable of running your own race.

Dandenong Ranges–grounded. This course sits close to Her Trails HQ, and much of our group running and coaching experience lives on the same style of trails. We know how this terrain feels underfoot, and we train accordingly.

What makes Her Trails different

We train the whole runner. Fitness, strength, nervous system regulation, and confidence are all part of the plan.

We coach in real time. Weekly coaching and community support mean you are never guessing whether you are doing too much or not enough.

Built by and for women. Female physiology, psychology, and real-life load shape how this program is structured.

You are not just following a plan. You are guided week by week, with context and education that helps training make sense.

Train wherever you are. Trails, treadmill, road, or stairs. We coach effort and intent so progress continues even when conditions vary.

What’s included

Structured weekly run sessions designed for rolling elevation, runnable trails, and sustained rhythm.

Strength and stability training to support efficient climbing and controlled descents.

Mobility and recovery sessions to help your body absorb training and stay resilient.

Weekly live coaching calls for guidance, reassurance, and shared momentum.

Community Hub access with women training toward the same event.

Start steady. Build confidence.

This program gives you clarity, structure, and support so you can enjoy the process and arrive ready to run well on race day.
