5K Beginners’ Running Program
No way, running is for everyone! That’s why I created this program, tailor-made for women who start running, but just need a little push and expert guidance. With an easy-to-follow training plan and a sisterhood cheering you on, you’ll feel comfortable running in no time.
You’ve tried running but somehow, something always holds you back—whether it’s injury, feeling lost about how to start, or running just feels more like a chore than a joy.

In just 12 weeks, you will be able to comfortably run 5 km. You’ll learn the essentials of correct running technique, including how to warm up, recover, and increase your strength to prevent injuries. I’ll guide you through proper nutrition tailored for female physiology to help you fuel your body correctly. Plus, I’ll show you how to integrate running into your life and make it a positive habit. By joining this program, you will become part of a supportive community of fellow female runners who are on the same journey and level as you. Gain not just friends but also confidence as you share experiences and support each other.
Running is my safe zen-zone, protecting me from the chaos of life.
It all started with a passion for speed when I was a child, which developed into a love for long distances, channelling my inner “Forrest Gump vibes.” My passion led me to run a marathon in under 3h and conquer a 63km ultra-marathon. Experiencing many mental and physical benefits on this journey, I got interested in the science of running and nutrition. I became a certified running coach and earned a master’s degree in Sports and Nutrition to understand to better understand how to run effectively and take proper care of our bodies.
I’m not only your running coach — I’m your personal cheerleader and guide, and I’m here to make sure you “cross that finish line” with a smile!
No prior running experience? No problem! Our program is designed for beginners. Whether you’re starting from scratch or have some experience but never hit a 5km mark, you’ll fit right in.
Only the running basics. You’ll need a good pair of running shoes, comfortable workout clothes, and a well-fitting and supportive sports bra.
On top of that, I recommend having running socks and a cap or sunglasses (that do not slip from your nose when you start sweating).
You will learn more about additional equipment that might enhance your running experience in the program.
