Training for your first marathon?

I’ll guide through my signature training roadmap to achieve your goals and get the results that you want.

Looking to improve your marathon time?

I’ll help you to train safely, effectively and consistently to speed up your finishing time.

You’ve got your eye on a marathon! Congratulations! It’s an awesome goal and experience.

I will take you through the full training strategies from start to finish.

Training for a marathon is an amazing challenge. It’s an adventure and a journey that takes commitment and hard work.

WORK WITH ME

I see a lot of runners making common mistakes that stop them from even getting to the starting line.

They don’t have structure to their training
They train too much and burn out
They get injured
They don’t know how to stay motivated to keep training.
BUT YOU CAN MAKE IT TO THE FINISH LINE!

The marathon grit coaching masterplan is designed to get you through your entire marathon training journey.

My coching will teach you how to:

Run with a purpose. Every single run you do has an intention

Whether it be time on your legs or getting faster.

I keep the training specific. There is a science to getting your body ready for 26.1 miles/42 Km.

I make your strengthening, running and nutrition/hydration all count.

I was a newbie runner.

I was 24 and had the idea of running a marathon.

I was “sporty” and wanted a challenge so I signed up to do the London marathon. I knew very little about what to do and how to train properly.

I completely under trained and thought I could “wing it”. I had no plan and no idea of what distances to run. I had no idea how fast or slow to run and I completely messed up my fuelling strategy- badly!!

Come race day, I showed up in old shoes and the furthest I had run was 25 kms.

I felt terrible during the race but I FINISHED. And despite all that hard work to make it to the finish line, I LOVED THE EXPERIENCE.

Ever since then running has become a passion of mine. I have gradually become immersed in the world of marathon training both personally and professionally.

I spent years getting to know what works and doesn’t for my running.

I looked at what I was doing wrong and where I could improve. I gradually developed running strategies that kept me injury free and running for longer- even in my 40s.

In the last 20 years I’ve also helped dozens of athletes with running injuries. As a physical therapist treating running injuries, I have to know everything about the athlete in order to make an impact. Helping runners is not just about helping their bodies, it’s about their training regime and their mindset too.

Over time I found myself coaching my injured patients. Advising them on how to train (I have a background in sports science) and helping them with their mindset- dealing with a setback and the doubts and fear that come with it. I went on to do some training to become a wellness coach and that’s when Marathon Grit was born!

My goal is simple. To provide a coaching solution that offers expert advice on how to have the body and mind to run a marathon.

A solution to be a COMPLETE runner and get the results that you want. No matter where you are in the world.

“Caroline’s expertise comes naturally given her experience as a runner and her years as a medical professional.”

“My ankles are tight, which Caroline correctly suspected was causing the pain in my knees after I ran. She immediately directed me to several sources to assist with ankle mobility, and I’ve already seen a decrease in my knee pain. I would highly recommend her.”

– Mike SanClemente, Boston, Massachusetts, USA

“I was training for my 1st ever 250km staged ultra-marathon race called the Racing the Planet. Everything was falling into place until… Covid-19 happened.”

“Races were cancelled across the world including Racing The Planet Namib race. I found myself in a weird space where I just got stuck mentally. I was left feeling helpless, stuck and crushed. I was simply lost, demotivated and needed calibration. That’s when I came across Caroline who was referred to me by an Iron Man legend Anim Swart. With Caroline’s coaching I was to be able to pick up my running shoes and run again.”

– Mabassa, Namibia, Africa

What is the investment to learn how to run a marathon like a boss?

The mistake that most people make is to think that if they “just run”, they’ll be able to run a marathon. Who needs help with running, right? Anyone can do that for free.

What they don’t take into account is how ineffective winging it can be.

You spend months running too fast, too slow, too short, or too long. And then your body starts to object to what you are doing to it and starts to hurt- You get injured. You don’t even make the starting line!

The Marathon Training Masterplan is a high-touch program that is 1 on 1.

You and I, doing this together and nailing your running.

I’ll support you by email for 8 weeks, and we have 4 private Zoom calls during that time as well.

THAT’s 8 weeks of access to a physical therapist with a background in sports science, who can help you with any injury prevention tips. AND 8 weeks of access to a wellness coach who can keep you accountable and help you to take action to overcome your doubt and build your resilience.

To put it into perspective, that kind of access would normally cost you over $4000.00-$6000.00

I’ve got the roadmap that will transform you into a strong, gritty runner!

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a complete beginner, can you help me?

Yes, I coach all runners. From beginners to performance athletes.

Can you help me to improve my finishing time?

Yes. I’ll help you train with a purpose and apply training principles that can increase your running speed.

What is a wellness coach?

A wellness coach helps their clients find the motivation and tools to get to their physical and emotional health goals. They do this by focusing on what’s happening right now, what a person wants next, and how that gap can be bridged. Think of them like an action-oriented mentor who can help you reach your goals.

Can you advise me regarding an injury?

Yes. Physical therapists are required by law to maintain high standards of care and confidentiality- even through Telehealth services. There are a lot of legal requirements around providing online injury consultations. You have to fill in a form and provide consent but that is part of the package!

Do you offer refunds?

When you purchase the package, I set aside time to coach you and support you. I am 100% committed to transforming your running. I have limited spots available so I cannot offer refunds.

Is my credit card secure?

Credit card security is extremely important to me. That’s why I have partnered with Pay Pal. Your credit card data is safer making an online purchase through our secure site than it is using it to pay at a restaurant.
