Your Adventure Begins Here
Train Smart. Run Strong. Enjoy the Journey.
Get ready for the Tarawera 21km with this 12-week training program designed for runnable trails, rolling terrain, and the stunning geothermal landscape of the T21 course. Build your strength, endurance, and trail confidence through structured sessions, mobility and strength work, and mindset tools to help you run with purpose from start to finish.
Whether you’re new to trail running or chasing a personal best, this program will guide you every step of the way.
- We train the whole runner: Yes, you’ll build climbing legs and aerobic endurance, but you’ll also learn how to support your nervous system, align with your cycle, and stay connected to what matters to you.
- We coach in real time: Join live weekly coaching and community calls to get your questions answered, troubleshoot any roadblocks, and stay anchored in a shared journey.
- We are built by and for women: Our programs are created by a team that understands female physiology, psychology and the lived realities of training around life’s complexities.
- You’ll never be “just following a plan”: You’re joining a living, breathing training experience, full of context, coaching and connection, designed to evolve with you as you move towards this goal.
- Train wherever you are: Whether you're in the city, the bush, or travelling in between, your sessions and community are fully accessible from your phone or device, whenever you need them.
