Coaching at Running Mums Australia. Welcome Coach Kate!

I think back to over the years from when I was running for fun and when I wanted to run my first half marathon. I remember downloading the training plan from the web and having really no idea what it meant and what I should be doing. I ran the race, and I did okay, but not without some injuries and stupidity along the way with my training.

When I signed up for my marathon, once again I went online and I found a plan that I thought was right for me. It told me what I wanted to hear that I would bring it home in the time that I wanted and so I hit print and I tried my best to follow it. That was until I started the sprint training and ended up side-lined for 2-3 weeks with a shin injury. Little did I know how to do sprints and do them properly and along with high mileage piled on top. I still ran my race and finished, but not without some setbacks due to lack of experience and support.

This time around, with a goal much harder than ever before I know that investing in a coach is something that I really need. Someone who can tailor a plan to me and how I want to run. Someone that will listen to my feedback and push me. Someone that I can actually talk to and let them know how that training run went, or what record I broke or what didn’t work for me. Someone to gain feedback and to give advice. Someone that believes in me and my goal.

Well just when these thoughts were going into my head, the universe spoke and the planets aligned and fellow running mum, Kate Heyward gained her formal qualifications. After a few emails and excitement RMA coaching was born through Coach Kate.
