Half Marathon Coaching Program

Run your best half marathon, injury-free

Starting July 2026. Be in the first wave.


Does any of this sound familiar?

If you said yes to more than two of these, keep reading.


The real reason plans stop working

It's not you. It's the format.

Problem 1

The free PDF plan

Easy to download, easy to forget. There's no one paying attention to whether you showed up. No one adjusting the plan when life gets in the way. The PDF doesn't care. And when you fall off track, there's nothing pulling you back.

Problem 2

The running app

The algorithm doesn't know you. It doesn't know you had a terrible week, that you felt a niggle in your knee on Tuesday, or that you're actually a bit stronger than the onboarding form suggested. Generic inputs, generic output.

Problem 3

The strength and mobility add-on

It's always the first thing to go. When it's bolted on as an afterthought, it's easy to skip. But skipping it consistently is exactly why those small niggles turn into injuries that set you back weeks.

Problem 4

Full 1:1 coaching

If you could afford a personal running coach who writes your plan, checks in every week, and adjusts everything in real time, great. Most people can't. And that's a completely reasonable position to be in.


What really makes the difference

The reason most people don't hit their half marathon goal isn't just fitness. It's the combination of things they're missing.

1

A real coach to message when something feels off

This isn't 1:1 coaching, but it's not just an algorithm either. If you get injured, sick or are dealing with something at work and need your plan adjusted, you can ask me directly. Not sure whether to push through or take a break? I'm one message away.

2

Live strength and mobility sessions, twice a week

This is where the programme is different from anything app-based. Two live group sessions every week with your coach. Focused on the strength and mobility work runners actually need. You show up, you do the work together, and then it's done. There's a library of past sessions too, so if you miss one, you can still catch up.

3

Train with likeminded runners

Something magical happens when you stop training solo and start training together. Questions? Post them in the forum. I answer personally, and everyone in the programme benefits from the answer too. Besides that, there are monthly webinars (with Q&A) on specific topics like nutrition, pacing, and race prep.


Here's what you get

Everything in one place, from day one.

📆

Your personalised running plan, synced to your watch

Matched to your current fitness after you fill in a short onboarding form. Loaded into the Final Surge app, which automatically syncs to your watch every day and tracks your runs. You don't have to think about what to do next. It's already there.

💪

2 live group strength and mobility sessions per week

The sessions runners actually need. Not random gym workouts, not YouTube videos you forget to open. Scheduled, live, with a group. Plus access to a full library of all previous sessions so you can always catch up.

🎙️

Monthly webinars with live Q&A

Every month, a session on a specific topic, such as race nutrition, pacing strategy, or training through fatigue. Followed by a live Q&A where you can ask anything. Recordings available afterwards.

💬

A forum with a coach who actually answers

Post your question in the forum and I will answer personally. It's not 1:1 coaching, but it's far better than hoping an app's AI gives you a sensible response. You also get to learn from the questions other runners are asking.

No sales call. No lengthy contracts. Just running.

What happens when you join

No complicated setup. Three simple steps.

1

You fill in a short form

Tell me about your current training, your goal race, and your experience level. Takes five minutes. I will review your answers. This is usually done within 24hrs.

2

Your plan is assigned and loaded

A recommended training plan is matched to your details. It's then loaded into Final Surge and synced to your watch. All plans kick off on the next Monday after sign up.

3

You run, I support

You run, attend the group sessions, ask questions in the forum, and will show up to race day feeling prepared and excited. Your success is my success.

Why I built this

My third half marathon, Lisbon, October 2024. I hit the wall completely. Missed my goal, felt awful, and honestly just wanted to disappear. It wasn't a fitness problem. It was everything else.

  • I wasn't fueling properly because I didn't really know how to, and I felt guilty eating more.
  • My strength and mobility work was inconsistent because I kept doing it alone and motivation kept fading.
  • My race approach was all wrong. I went out too fast and paid for it.
  • Once I fixed all three things together, things changed quickly. Sub-85 felt impossible. My current personal best is 1:23:45.
  • Running has given me community, mental clarity, confidence, and some of the best experiences of my life. That's what I want to help other runners find too.

What runners are saying

Morgan

"One moment that really stood out was during a run where I felt like I had nothing left. Caroline was live chatting with me, helping me work through it and giving me options — but also encouraging me to keep going. Having access to her during a low point like that made such a difference."

Morgan
SJ

"Apart from the logistical coaching, she was my biggest cheerleader from the first training run to the race finish line. I knew she had my back, and I genuinely believe it was her coaching that gave me one of my favourite race experiences ever."

Questions people ask before joining

If the plan is working and you're improving, honestly, great. This programme is for runners who feel like something is missing: accountability, strength work they'll actually do, proper support when something goes wrong, and a group to train alongside. If the app is ticking all of those boxes, you're probably fine. If it's not, that's what this is for.

Define serious runner! The fact that you're looking at this page makes you a "serious runner". Anywho, the programme is for runners who want to improve and run a half marathon they're proud of. You don't need to be fast. You don't need to have run one before. You just need to want to do it properly, stay injury-free, and enjoy the process.

Your running plan will vary depending on where you are in training, but typically 3-5 runs per week. On top of that, the two live strength and mobility sessions are each around 30-40 minutes. If you can't make one live, you can do it from the library whenever suits you.

DM me and I, Caroline, will adjust your plan. This is one of the things that makes this different from an app. Life happens. Injuries happen. Your plan doesn't have to fall apart when they do. I will be there to discuss your next steps with you.

It's not. Full 1:1 coaching is more personal and more involved. This programme is for runners who want something significantly better than an app or a PDF, at a price that makes sense. If you want full 1:1 attention, that's a different conversation and a different price point.

8 weeks is the minimum to see real progress. 12 weeks is where things start to feel solid. 16 weeks gives you the full picture. This is why the quarterly option is the recommended option if you have a specific race in mind.

You'll need to download the Final Surge app, which is free. It syncs your plan to most GPS running watches. If you don't have a GPS watch, you can still run to the plan manually. No other paid tools are needed.

There's a 7-day money back guarantee. If you've done the first week, attended a session, and still feel like this isn't right for you, email Caroline and you'll get a full refund. No hassle.
