Her Trails Coaching
Surf Coast Century 100km Relay (Team of 4)
Program for Women
Share the century with three teammates. This 12-week Her Trails program prepares you for a shorter, punchy relay leg along runnable coastal terrain, with a focus on smart pacing, consistent training and race-day readiness.
The Course
Running your Relay Leg
Sea cliffs, wildflower hinterland, remote beaches and Otway bushland along the Great Ocean Road, split four ways between you and your crew. A shorter leg means you can run it hard while still soaking up the Feel Good Ultra atmosphere as a team.
Seven fully-stocked checkpoints, spectator access and a buzzing finish line expo make race day a genuine team weekend away.
The Course Demands
What your leg asks of you
Over 12 weeks we sharpen the pacing sense, coastal-trail confidence and race-day readiness to run your leg strong, whichever section you draw.
Aerobic Sharpening
Focused weekly volume builds the aerobic edge to run your leg with confidence and control.
Coastal + Bushland Terrain
Sea cliffs, beaches and Otway bushland each ask for a different rhythm. Sessions build comfort across all surfaces.
Pacing Your Leg
Whether your leg is short and fast, sessions train the pacing sense to run it hard and to plan.
Race-Day Confidence
Handover logistics, checkpoint strategy and gear rehearsal are trained specifically, so race day feels calm and fun.
